THE BEGINNING

It all started in a basement…

Stephen and I met while doing internships in Silicon Valley. We became great friends, teamed up for school projects, and eventually started a consultancy together.

Our very first job was to build a custom-made inventory system. Back then inventory software was too complicated and expensive, or just not powerful enough.

So we set out to do better. After many hours in our parents’ basement we released the very first version of inFlow Inventory in 2007.

This first version of inFlow was a breath of fresh air compared to the bland, corporate inventory software available in the early 2000s.
