  Online Showroom:

inFlow Inventory’s showroom is an online catalogue you can share with your customers. It’s an easy way for customers to see what you carry, what your prices are and what you have available.

You can choose to set up a public showroom to share with all your customers, or choose to send invitation-only links to VIP customers so they can see special pricing or extra information.

Your showroom can let customers know you have the item they need by sharing stock levels, or encourage them to order quickly if they see you’re running low.

The showroom can also provide read-only access to product details and stock levels to your staff or sales team.

For full details on how to set up your own showroom and start sharing it, please see our inFlow Inventory showroom support article.

General improvements:

  • If your billing team needs a record of your inFlow Inventory payments, you can now log into inFlow web and select Manage my account, then scroll down to Billing history. You can download or print an invoice for your subscription from there.

  Pick Date:

 

Our latest update adds Pick Date to all new and existing sales orders, to show you exactly when each product was picked (taken off the shelves). This Pick Date is handy if your business doesn’t pick items right after a sales order is created, or if you often handle large sales orders where items are picked on different dates.

If you’ve already got sales in inFlow Inventory, any fulfilled order will have a Pick Date matching the Order Date (the date it was created). But if you’re creating a new sales order, the Pick Date will be added when you place a product in the Pick tab. For full details, please see this support article.

This is a highly useful feature if you need complete tracking of inventory picking, but if you’d rather not use it, just press the Fulfill button on your sales order and inFlow Inventory will fulfill it just like before (but with a Pick Date that matches the current date).

General improvements:

  • We’ve made it even easier to start using inFlow Inventory if you already have an On-Premise database 
  • If you’re uploading an inFlow On-Premise database to inFlow Inventory, we’ll email you once your database has been migrated (how convenient!) 

Issues we’ve fixed:

  • We fixed an issue where importing completed sales could show them as unfulfilled within inFlow’s sales order list 
  • Users who use our web app will always be redirected to the more secure https://app.inflowinventory.com 
  • We’ve fixed a bug where a new user could edit company information without being an administrator

  Push to QuickBooks Online Part I:

inFlow and QuickBooks Online, together at last!

If you prefer to keep your inventory in inFlow and your accounting in QuickBooks Online, then we made this update just for you (and thousands of other inFlow users)!

Once the integration is set up, inFlow Inventory will automatically sync new sales orders to QuickBooks Online account, where they’ll appear as transactions. Having inFlow communicate with QuickBooks helps to eliminate a lot of double entries in the two systems, and it should make your accountant happier — especially if they’re off-site or don’t use inFlow themselves.

If you’re ready to get started, check out our QuickBooks Online support article. We’re excited to see what you think!

Issues we’ve fixed:

  • inFlow no longer freezes due to multiple copies of the program running 
  • We’ve fixed an issue where updates could stall the program 
  • inFlow should no longer stall while exporting lots of records to CSV 
  • We’ve made it clearer which plan is available on the trial (it’s Advanced) 
  • We’ve improved our warning if you start inFlow Inventory while your PC is offline 
  • We’ve fixed a migration issue for new Cloud users with attachments in their On-Premise backup 
  • Our password resets now alert you in red if the email does not exist in our system 
  • We’ve fixed an issue where admins couldn’t make subscription changes to accounts 
  • The Product Price or Inventory Details screen no longer crashes the app on Android 4.4

September 17, 2017

General improvements:

inFlow Inventory’s performance was not up to our standards and it was causing some slowdowns for users. We want inFlow to feel like a dependable tool that your business can rely on, so we rewrote the underlying code to speed things up.  

September 5, 2017

Issues we’ve fixed:

  • We’ve improved the loading screen to let you know if inFlow is loading up or downloading an update 
  • inFlow now waits a longer period of time for updates to account for slower internet speeds

  • We’ve fixed a rare issue where On-Premise backups with custom documents could fail to migrate if the documents had missing images

  Closing old orders:

Whether it’s the end of your financial year or that you simply prefer to keep the past in the past, our new features to protect historical data should help you out. In previous versions of inFlow Inventory, any team member with the sufficient user rights could reopen orders. This was to help businesses correct mistakes, but we’ve also heard that reopening old orders can be a bad thing.

Our solution to this was to leave all of the default settings the same, but provide you with new options. You can now set inFlow Inventory to automatically close fulfilled orders that are older than X days old, or any orders before a particular date. Closed orders can only be opened by administrators of the inFlow account, so you can still make corrections if you really need to.

For full details on how to handle closed orders, check out our support page!

General improvements:

  • You can now choose Contact Name as a column on the Sales Order list 
  • You can now choose Barcode as a column on the Product list 

Issues we’ve fixed:

  • Large imports could slow inFlow, so we’ve improved the import logic to make it several times faster
