Great functionality, but beware....
We used Flowlu primarily as a CRM operating outside our ERP. The software is very functional and user-friendly - could be adapted to a number of applications. Although we opted not to use Fowlu long-term, it offered many of the features we were looking for. From a functional standpoint, it came down to a matter of preference. However, Flowlu customer service was lacking when it came to resolving a dispute regarding our membership.
- CRM
- Workflow Dashboards
- Customer service
- Automatic enrollment in auto-renewal

Comprehensive solution for project management and CRM
We needed a complete solution for online business management. Flowlu delivered it and more.
- Flowlu is a comprehensive solution for project management and CRM software. Especially when you don’t want to have a dozen separate systems and drown in integration efforts.
- Although most functions are well documented, some features require reaching out to support to set up correctly.

Moved from Zoho to Flowlu and haven't looked back
I moved my client to Flowlu for CRM from Zoho CRM and am very pleased to say it is much easier to use. We're looking forward to some additional functionality in the reporting sections, but is extremely positive with the functions and usability of the system. Issues that we had with Zoho that took very long hours to work through were super simple on Flowlu--like blueprints and sales processes. The biggest issue we had was importing and matching Zoho records. There are two features I believe are planned for Flowlu that weren't available at the time of import: import dropdown fields and multi-check boxes, even though we had the custom fields in Flowlu prior to import.
- Usability is fabulous compared to so many CRMs--love it
- Multi view and connection between accounts, contacts, opportunities, projects
- Workflows and sales processes are super simple
- Bulk Import of attachments matched to an account or contract would be super useful
- Bulk change of checkboxes
- Reporting in the CRM - user defined reports

Easy to use, beautiful U.I design
Pros: I have both Plutio and Freedcamp, but I feel they are so complicated to understand how to use it well. While Flowlu is very easy to use because it has a pretty and clean UI. I love many functions of Flowlu invoice, which I can add or remove items “tax, discount, pty” by clicking and choosing on tick boxes.
Cons: Flowlu hasn't integrated Zapier at this point. I hope they will have done it this year.
- Flowlu support Invoice Custom Templates
- They have their own CRM
- Integrating with Syncspider, Pabbly and Integrately which support automation system well.
- Flowlu should allow user to import their own invoice into app
- Fellow should have their own email marketing system
- It should integrate woo-commerce, a big e-commerce platform on WordPress. This will support users will in managing and sending emails to their customers.

A Great Finance Tool!
I have been using Flowlu to run a small music school. This is my first all in one type tool, it was a bit overwhelming initially but getting the hang of it. The pros out weigh the cons as I save time and money in the long run. The accounting part of Flowlu is not as extensive as other tools I have used in the past but is adequate for us as we primarily need to deal with cash and bank transfers. It gives nice charts of cash flow, revenue and expenses. We are using it throughout our business and soon will try all of Flowlu's features. Rather than use Quicken and other software, we can just use Fowlu for all our needs. It is much easier to use than others and it will save us a lot of time in the long run.
- All in One
- Finance
- Accounting
- Project Management
- A little difficult to find features in dashboard
- Issues loading on old laptop
- Features still being developed

“Swiss Army Knife” solution we’ve been waiting for
Having worked with multiple software applications and wasting time on inconvenient project management templates, I decided to find an all-encompassing solution that will unify the work of all departments, provide easy monitoring, integrate the invoicing system, and allow keeping track of the entire workflow of the company.
Flowlu became a perfect answer to all of my company’s needs. The CRM helped track and monitor sales prospects via the opportunities feature and automate and optimize the work of all departments and each employee in particular. The email and contact integration facilitated communication between team members and established a clear feedback line with customers. We have over 100 employees, which is why the possibility of assigning roles and access rights came in handy as well.
The mind map feature fits perfectly in our weekly brainstorming aimed at developing new business ideas and products. The visualization of plans and concepts with an option to assign tasks, update the information, and set icons proved to be an invaluable tool.
The calendar feature allows easy event planning with reminders sent to all the team members involved in the event.
With the finance feature, we integrated the invoicing system and payment gateways that our customers most frequently use.
- Convenient and feature-packed CRM
- All-encompassing projects module allowing optimization and automation of the workflow
- Possibility to set up financing system and payment gateways
- Opportunities tools for keeping track of sales prospects
- Mind map feature for brainstorming of creative ideas and business development strategies
- Knowledge base providing guidance and help with any issue and question about the feature set up
- The abundance of features may seem overwhelming at first if you don't have any experience working with CRMs

Great Business Management Software , clean UI
Great business management software to handle all your needs. It has many apps we have not implemented or used. I believe it can be adapted to different industries. We mainly use our project management and knowledge base. We have created different dedicated workspaces based on department. Flowlu has been a real help monitoring and delegating tasks to team members.
- Workspaces for different departments
- Kanban board to track tasks
- Project workflows to measure different stages and milestones
- Client portal

All in one, very intuitive and feature rich tool...
We use Flowlu across the whole organisation to manage projects, CRM, our team members, tasks, and finance. This software is very powerful and full of features. This tool is all in one. It saves a lot of money as we dont need to have various tools for various business needs. Also we can manage projects, CRM, Tasks and finances in Flowlu.
- Flowlu is very good in project management. Flowlu is the main tool being used for projects and task management.
- We use our CRM in Flowlu. Flowlu has a feature enrich CRM
- We use finance module for sending invoices and receiving the payments from our potential customers
- Automation in Flowlu works well, very easy to automate workflow and processes
- User interface could be improved
- There is learning curve. Well explanatory tutorial and step-by-step guide could be provided
- Flexibility in font size and invoicing should be given
I like that Flowlu is an all-in-one solution. Many other apps state this but they really fall short. Go get Flowlu! I really like the project management features as well as the CRM features. The invoicing is also a very nice way for me to run my business end-to-end. The communication features really help my team get dialed into our outreach and sales. The pipeline feature is a really nice feature too. It is amazing that other apps just focus on one thing and Flowlu has most of them included.
- Project Management is a robust tool within Flowlu and we use it everyday
- CRM is a key feature we use everyday to reach out and track client relationships
- Invoicing within Flowlu is how we track expenses and invoice our customers
- The current UI could use some updating
- It would be ideal if the invoicing was a bit more customizable
- There are a lot of menus; it would be ideal if the menu structure were a little simpler
I am a regular user of Flowlu. I have a team within my organization and customers too. I manage Flowlu as an admin. My colleagues who manage the HRM, and who manage the finance are using the Flowlu too. I assign tasks to my team using Flowlu. So, HRM, Finance, Task management, Scheduling, document sharing, data storage, contact management, and so on are being managed using the Flowlu across the organization. My business has been automated with the help of Flowlu. It is a huge benefit to use Flowlu for managing my business.
- Tasks management is easier then ever to use Flowlu
- Project management, progress tracking and monitoring can be done within a moment
- Opportunities, activities, contact are in one place
- Site loading speed need to be improved
- Step by step guideline may helpful to its smooth operation
- Need client dashboard

Flowlu is an all-in-one productivity tool designed for those who need a simple solution
Flowlu helped our business manage itself better. Although we didn't need to use all of the tools regularly, and decided to disable some of the extra features to make our scheduling process easier. This is not something that is offered by any project management software. There was hardly any learning curve to get started using Flowlu. We get a complete overview of all the projects, where they stand and what are the bottlenecks we need to eliminate.
Some added features like Mind Maps, Time Tracking etc are something we are in love with. It is so easy to quickly brainstorm and share ideas internally and with the stakeholders.

Flowlu (aka project management powerhouse)
I'm not a fan of broken workflows. There are great apps for project management but there is no clear workflow with them, we'll always have to do the "glue work" to keep them together. But... that wasn't the case with Flowlu. With Flowlu we're able to bring Projects, Task Assigning, Sprints, CRM and clients from occasional contract work under one roof for effective management.
- CRM - my top usage
- Collaboration - not just internally, external with clients as well
- Helps us get paid with its native payment integrations
- The UI/UX is confusing and has a steep learning curve
- Theme/appearance customization should be there - its current form is okay but it's mostly just boring black, white and gray and some greens
- Onboarding was long - understandable given that the app has many features but it would be great if the onboarding shows up for each tool intuitively as we use
I was in search of an easy-to-use Business Management software within my price range. I came across Flowlu. The software is not yet implemented in the organization but we are planning to implement it at the beginning of Q3. In our case, we are still using multiple software to solve our business needs but after testing Flowlu we feel that we can proceed with the implementation to use one tool instead of several which makes our processes more secure and simpler.
- Easy to use
- Custom Domains
- The ability to customize the apps that are going to bee used.
- Its also fast.
- They could make it in different languages wich would increase their reach with the software.

Easy to use and exceptional value for money
I've used several business management systems and I am loving this one. I'm now running my entire business through it, it's made the work flow more effective, has reduced the number of different programs I was using by having everything in one place (I really love the knowledge bases set up for both internal SOPs and client on boarding).
- The learning and set up are way easier than any of the other systems I've used.
- The task management is really effective for me and my team.
- As I mentioned earlier the knowledge base feature is brilliant.
- The invoicing functionality is being improved, I'd love to see electronic signatures in the future.

Fast, Feature Packed, Priced Well
Flowlu piqued my interest when I saw how many different features they were able to incorporate into their system. Once I started using it I was surprised at how everything was pretty fast and cohesive. This will be a great tool for my agency and fits a lot of needs that other systems don’t.
- Team & Client Collaboration
- iOS App
- Project Management & Mind Maps
- Automated Recurring Payments for Invoices
- More Mind Map Features
Flowlu helps with managing projects, allocating workspace for different purposes and departments. In addition, address customers and employee question with the use of the Flowlu knowledge base app.
- Sync Email and Calendars because it save time.
- Managment of finance and invocing to which provides a great overview of profit and loss.
- Able to switch the menu bar to the side or top.
- No area for Favicon yet.
- No Typography/Colour Options.
- Ticketing and HR app to make it truly an all in one business tool.
I have been using Flowlu across the whole organisation to manage different aspects of my business. Before Flowly, we had to use many different apps, getting them integrated with each other, and tried to make sense from scattered data everywhere. Flowlu allows me to set up project workflows and CRM automation once, then run it in as many projects and to as many customers as I want with exactly the same templates - that saves me and my team a lot of time, helps us not to forget important tasks, and give us better results.
- All in one business management suite, do not see it as a project management app only
- Automation functionality very well thought out, you can set everything in automation
- Multiple emails in one mailbox, it's very easy for you to manage all your emails in one place
- The customisation needs improvement, I can't customise the colours, logo and favicon the way I want for my hub
- Finance and accounting functionality is basic, you have to use another accounting app to complement Flowlu
- Dashboard could be more detailed and easier to configure for better insights about my business

Business Flow with Flowlu!
Flowlu is exactly what my company and team needed to keep organized. Our entire company uses Flowlu; the ability to stay in Flowlu while interacting with our team is critical, and Flowlu provides team collaboration via private, team, or group chat.. Flowlu is a comprehensive business and communication solution that enables our team to swiftly and effectively complete projects for clients while also strategically resolving client difficulties.
- Setup automations for client intake and sales funnels with ease.
- Adding those bothersome business SOPs to Flowlu's Knowledge Base module was a breeze. Separate knowledge bases are possible with Flowlu, making it a valuable resource for team members and clients.
- Interfaces with programs like Integrately and Zapier, you can customize practically everything and automate even more with other tools.
- Through team, private, or group chat, you may collaborate with your team or clients.
- Flowlu has video tutorials that include music and text instruction. I would rather have voice instruction in the video tutorials.
- Integration with of an easy to use VoIP phone system/softphone to facilitate communication with clients outside of chat or email.
- Implementing Contract eSignatures without 3rd party integrations.

Best Project Management System
I always looking for a solution where I have PM with CRM feature. In the end, I found my solution Flowlu from AppSumo. I use this solution and have wow experience. I am sure no one can provide this solution at this low price. Flowlu has good documentation & expert support. Now, I am looking forward to the client/customer portal with mobile apps.
- UI design & user friendly interface.
- Complete project management solution.
- Good documentation & expert support.
- Loading time.
- Client/Customer portal.
Being use for CRM, INVOICING, EXPENSES, MINDMAPS, EMAILS
- Can be considered as an all-in-one system to manage a medium sized business
- Very mature and established product
- Has Project Management and tasks system that can help large organizations become more productive
- Email marketing can be a good addition but not necessary
- An inventory system can close the loop... but not something urgent.
- Financial reporting system that can comply to GAAP

Flowlu automation
Hello we are using Flowlu throughout the entire company to support a particular market segment. Certain repetitive tasks require data entry, monitoring, and tracking. These steps are easy for staff to overlook and we have been seeking tools to automate as much as possible to streamline processes, increase consistency in service, speed up delivery and remove human error.
- Automation
- Data management
- Systems
- Integrations
- High learning curve
We were looking for a full funnel CRM tool starting from lead management to client onboarding to invoicing. Finally Flowlu is the best all in one solution we tried so far. Actually using a combination of ClickUp for project management and Flowlu for the client centered stuff, future will show if Flowlu will develop into a full-fledged project management tool as well that is sufficient for our needs.
- The system of adding only the features you need by installing as separated modules makes it easy to learn without being overwhelmed by the lots of features.
- I really like its structure and clear interface. Not wasting much time by searching for the right buttons and settings. Looks like the developers use their own tool for everyday work
- Flowlu offers a custom domain option to fully integrate fully it into our company toolbox. This helps offering a seamless experience for our clients.
- The elaborated invoice module was the final argument for us to switch to Flowlu.
- The subtasks of subtasks are not nested. All Subtasks are on the same level. This needs improvement for our project management needs
- So far it is not fully translated into German but it is obviously on its way.
- They could offer more storage space to their plans.
