CNET Editors' review
Turning your passion into a small business is a very difficult task. But staying on top of the paperwork might just kill you. Fortunately, inFlow Inventory Software offers users an opportunity to organize every aspect of their business.
This freeware program has a clean interface that may be intuitive for people familiar with other inventory software programs. However, if you are not, there is an excellent training video and sample setup waiting to guide you through the program. inFlow is dominated by four major tabs for organizing a business. Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, and Reports each offer an interconnected way to stay on top.
By drawing information on customers, warehouse stock, pending orders, sales, and more, these tabs sync up nicely with a wealth of options that are certain to be useful for most small business managers. From providing customers quotes, looking at warehouse stock, and running reports on last month's sales, we were thoroughly impressed with this program's array of options and how simple they were to navigate.
inFlow's many options may not find use in every type of business, but this versatile program can be tailored to nearly any small business. We highly recommend this download for its ease of use, numerous options and free download.

"Premium Version is Great!"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
Tracks everything and is very user friendly. Takes little time to create reports and customize to your liking. Everything is self explanatory and easy for new employees to adapt to. Tracks everything we need, and entering new data is a breeze. Allows you to change field names on just about everything to help match your current personal inventory vocabulary/vernacular which helps limit mistakes. Allows for transparency with product movement through multiple user mode. Also, you can create new fields so you can add new fields to track if the program doesn't offer it already. Finally, if you have a problem tech support responds quickly to resolve any issues.
Cons
Few minor bugs which are taken care of through updates.
Summary
We enjoy this program. It's quick and easy. We have fully customized it to match our needs. The ease of report creating is what we like most about the program. Through this we can see our seasonal demands and get our employees the information they need.

"VERY LIMITED Max 100 Items in Inventory"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
Great Interface
Easy To UseCons
LIMIT ON INVENTORY 100 items Max
Summary
I am so upset, after spending HOURS Using inFlow to build my inventory lists- I was warned at 100 items that to enter even 1 more item in my inventory- I would have to upgrade to the full edition For $300.00 - NOT FREE. I am running a very small home business- and 100 items is NOTHING. Whatta Scam - I'm disappointed I was never warned about this.

"The Best DIY Inventory Software."
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
Inflow delivers a cost-effective Inventory Management Software for people who are willing to take on a Do-It-Yourself approach, instead of relying on expensive consultants marketing other software.
Their responsive and awesome technical support delivered by an online forum gave me confidence in trying out back in 2011.
Over the 2 years, Inflow has performed several updates that improved functionality, and existing users get to enjoy them with no extra charge - says something about what they believe in..
Today, we have 9 users running on Inflow and loving it!Cons
If I had to point out a con ... it'll be the lack of integration with an accounting software, compared to an ERP suite or a comprehensive accounting software that includes inventory.

"BRILLIANT PRODUCT THE BEST"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
Downloaded this product today and purchased the full edition straight away. If your looking for a simple straight forward product that does what it says this is it look no further. We as a company have tried many different inventory products from ABC inventory to using quickbooks both programmes do not come close to this one. It is an absolute credit to its developers and creators. Cant wait to use more of the facilities inflow has to offer.
Cons
Honestly the biggest CON about this is the amount of time i have wasted on other inferior products trying to make out they are anything like this programme.
Summary
so in summary, please do not waste your time with other software if your looking for an inventory programme that's easy to use look no further.

"Very user friendly across different nationalities."
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
I downloaded the free version a few days ago and have been playing around in it to see how easily it could be used by a non-English mother tongue user. Now have the Regular Edition. It seems very intuitive using clear English, well designed icons and familiar keystrokes. My staff in Bangladesh will now work with the free version for a while and I'll upgrade it later in the year.
Cons
Not found any yet in these few days but will update if necessary.
Summary
Thank you for a very clear and intuitive user experience. There are many small businesses in developing countries I'll recommend it to.

"The best software I found so far"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.5.1
Pros
Comparing 3 softwares and found out this one is the best. It is quite surprising since I did not expect the free software to be this good. The linkage of inventory with Sales and Purchase is wonderful. The basic setting is very easy and it is easy to understand the logic as well. So far it is the best I found for small business. I am trying the 30-day trial now.
Cons
The custom documents (custom Sales Order, custom Invoice, etc) are difficult to create. I even tried to just copy (without changes) from the template and upload again as my custom document but it fails (error when I try to print preview from Sales Order). Should provide easier way to do it since the existing template does not fill my requirement.
Summary
Excellent and easy to use software with a little custom documents improvement needed.
