Manufacturing software that gets the details right

inFlow shows you what you need to build and whether you’ve got what you need in stock. If you deal with food or pharmaceuticals you can track lot numbers or expiry dates as products roll off the line.

Add inFlow’s mobile app to get more done

Check pick lists right from the shop floor with an iPhone or Android phone. Your team can update timesheets as they start tasks like painting or welding, so you’ll always have accurate labor costs.

Restock how you want

inFlow helps you think about reordering in advance. Set minimum stock levels, choose how to reorder, and specify which vendor to buy parts from.

Track COGS on every order

With purchases, sales, and inventory in one place, your manufacturing software can calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) for you.

inFlow also helps you sell what you make

Handle your whole sales process, from quoting all the way to fulfillment, from one system.

Set credit limits to protect your cash flow, or set up volume discounts for products you sell at wholesale.

Send invoices and update accounting

See a tailored list of unpaid orders, so you always know who to invoice, and send those emails right from inFlow.

Financials sync automatically to QuickBooks Online or Xero, so you can lessen the load during tax season.

How inFlow helps manufacturers

In this video we’ll break down how inFlow can help you control costs, improve consistency across your builds, and avoid overstocking or stockouts.

BOM and operations

Track parts and labor costs

See what fits the bill

The bill of materials (BOM) shows you which components are part of a build, and whether any other assemblies share the same components.

Track progress automatically

Break assembly work into individual operations so you can track progress in real time. Update timesheets from any device to stay on top of work.

Barcoding

Optimize production with barcodes

Scan barcodes as you receive new components to save time. Or scan labels first, so you know you’re grabbing the right parts for an assembly.

No barcodes yet? No problem — inFlow lets you design and print your own barcode labels, then scan them with hardware you already have.

GS1 barcodes, built right in

inFlow's built-in Label Designer makes it quick to create professional labels. You can also generate GS1 standard barcodes that capture your SKU, serial number, and expiry date in a single scan.

Flexible hardware support

Our Print Helper allows you to print to basically any label printer on the market (e.g., DYMO or Zebra). You can also use USB scanners or an iPhone or Android device to scan QR codes or barcodes.
