Inventory Software Helps People in Small Businesses Work Together

May 7, 2008 - PRLog -- A new version of the easy-to-use inventory software inFlow Inventory now helps people in small businesses to work together and share information in real-time.  Released by Archon Systems, inFlow Inventory version 1.2 delivers this collaborative power while requiring only a fraction of the setup time, training, and license costs of traditional business software systems.

Business inventory software is often perceived as too expensive, complicated, and cumbersome.  As a result, many small businesses are running on an Excel spreadsheet and a prayer.  However, these businesses quickly run into trouble when they have more than one person who needs to see or update their inventory at once.  For many, inventory is only updated at the end of the day, making it hard to accurately fulfill customer orders.  Getting valuable business answers like which customers have ordered a given product can be a time-consuming task.

inFlow Inventory is a software package designed to help small businesses do better without needing a huge investment of time, money, and training.  inFlow is already used by thousands of small businesses to easily and accurately track inventory, sales, and more, while speeding up tasks like invoicing, reordering, and gathering trends about the business.  Now, the latest release of inFlow can be set up over a computer network, allowing people in small businesses to work together more effectively.  Different people can be taking customer orders, reordering stock from vendors, updating product prices, and shipping out goods at the same time; everybody has the latest information instantly – without anyone needing to manually tally invoices or update inventory at the end of the day.  

inFlow focuses heavily on breaking down the traditional barriers preventing small businesses from taking advantage of powerful business software.  Set-up time and frustration for non-tech people are reduced by a startup questionnaire, network setup wizard, and renowned support team.  Training and manual-reading can be replaced by diving right into the friendly, cross-referenced software screens or experimenting with the sample database.  And to fight cost barriers, anyone can download inFlow Inventory Free Edition, now with limited networking capabilities, from http://www.inflowinventory.com.  This can subsequently be upgraded to the fully-featured Standard Edition for under $300, with discounts for purchasing license bundles.
