The full manufacturing pipeline

Get the details right with inFlow Manufacturing

inFlow shows you what you need to build and whether you’ve got the materials on hand. You’ll have full traceability for lot or batch numbers on new products, as well as serial numbers for electronics.

Use a phone to speed up work

Review pick lists right from the shop floor with inFlow’s mobile app. And your team can log timesheets as they start important steps, like painting or welding.

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 build

Manage your entire sales workflow from quoting to fulfillment in one system. Set up credit limits to protect your cashflow or introduce volume discounts for products you sell at wholesale.

Send invoices and update accounting

View a tailored list of unpaid sales orders so you know whom to bill and send emails right from inFlow.

Automatically push updated financials directly to QuickBooks Online or Xero to make tax season a little easier.

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 (BOMs) shows you exactly which components are part of a build, and whether any other assemblies share the same components.

Track costs automatically

Organize important assembly steps with operations and track progress in real time. Update timesheets from any device to keep up on current work.

Barcoding

Optimize production with barcodes

Scan barcodes to save time as you receive new components. Or scan labels to make sure you’re using the right parts for an assembly.

No barcodes yet? No problem. inFlow helps you design and print your very own barcode labels and scan them with almost any device.

Advanced GS1 barcode support

inFlow's built-in Label Designer helps you create professional labels in minutes. You can also make GS1 standard barcodes to capture details like SKU, serial numbers, and expiry dates in one scan.

Print and scan

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.

Showroom

Your built-in B2B portal

Selling B2B or wholesale involves a lot of calls and emails. inFlow’s Showroom provides your customers with a better ordering experience and makes it easier for you to just fulfill orders.

You can send an online catalog in just a few clicks, with pricing and products customized for each customer.

A catalog that keeps up

You can create a showroom with all of the product information you already have in inFlow. This means your online catalog always stays up to date, automatically.

Customized B2B showrooms

Your customers can browse private showrooms that are unique to them. They can even pay for orders online as they place them (US and Canada only).
