I do not see how this is suited for anyone needing to track inventory coming in and going out. FIFO is completely unusable because the system can handle price changes from suppliers. The price change is applied to all past sales orders and items even if they are no longer in stock. In the Con examples I gave [below] you can see how many problems we have had with this system.

inFlow Inventory is a very useful tool for any and every e-commerce business that wishes to have a more efficient and seamless means of managing their inventory. It is particularly well suited to small businesses such as mine who need the extra hand and a products-based business that has goods to track.

Pros
ASAP Systems
  • Barcloud is really easy to use from multiple locations with multiple login potential.
  • Allows outlying locations to see what we have in stock without seeing in person.

  • The ease of use is phenomenal. Unlike other software where the dealer comes and sets up the whole system, you can do this all by yourself.
  • You can upload multiple items detail in inventory via CSV file rather than enter each item detail.
  • It gives you features to which you can change the virtual location of any item.
  • We are an eCommerce Business. Therefore, we want the status for each item which is available in our stock, whether it was returned from a customer or rejected by the vendor. In addition, inFlow gives you all these functionalities on a single platform.
  • It's a user-friendly application which doesn't require an expert to configure it.
  • You can integrate InFlow with eCommerce solution i.e. Magento & Shopify.

Cons
ASAP Systems
  • The sales orders get "lost" in the system. This makes it so we are unable to issue them to take the items out of stock.
  • The FIFO option does not work and has never worked in the year we have used the program.
  • When price changes occur the system changes all the past sales orders to reflect the price change. this makes balancing the $ of inventory a nightmare.
  • Items that have issued before become unavailable to issue because of system hiccups.
  • The inventory count never matches the physical count because of system hiccups with issuing items.
  • System unusable for tracking actual inventory counts.
  • If the item has to be moved to a different inventory location (shelf change) the system crashes and deletes the entire history of the product.
  • Customer Service for BarCloud is left to be desired. They take weeks to get back to you about a problem and even then their answer is always we are not sure why the system it is doing that.
  • The price is unimaginably high for the product service and problems that the system has.
  • All of our Sales orders from 2016 to now have been undone. This caused us to show in BarCloud that our stock contains everything we ordered for the entire year and we have sold $0.

  • Lag - The software lags a bit while communicating with server. It causes a little delay and frustration for certain features
  • Reporting - Although the reporting is good enough it lacks a certain amount of customization for reports
  • Integrations - While the software integrates smoothly with a lot of accounting softwares, it sometimes creates issues with certain l2c erp systems

I haven’t used any other inventory management system before using inFlow Inventory, I feel very lucky to have found a software that does what I need it to do without the need to try any other software prior. It meets my eCommerce small business needs and I’m very satisfied with the customer service I receive from this app.

Return on Investment
ASAP Systems
  • We have had 0 return on investment and we are currently switching to a different inventory system. BarCloud has caused us to lose money from all the hours we have had to spend fixing the inventory count and having to do physical counts every week to know what we actually have on hand.
  • Caused more headaches than help.
  • Positive point: We learned that the more expensive system that is web based does not mean they are a better program or will have better customer service.

  • inFlow has a lot of important inventory management features, but I like the easy import tool that adds stock to the database in less than a minute.
  • You can keep track of inventory, purchase orders, modify items, and generate reports of sales, salesperson, product, statistics. The possibilities are endless with this tool.
  • The software is very easy to work with and see real-time updates. Everything from transferring stock to pulling stock and inputting new products is done with ease.
