Likelihood to Recommend	The purchasing function is very good - tracking and linking parts to sales orders, shortage reports, and part summaries. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We have been using the standalone version of inFlow for many years. It is quite easy to use, with great support staff via their live chat on the inFlow website while the maintenance plan is active. Though sadly technical support over the phone isn't offered.

Pros	Inventory Management. Ingredient and Recipe Management. Cost Control and Variation. Incentivized Bobby Greenawalt Founder & President Read full review	Inventory management. Barcoding Ordering from suppliers again. QN Quincy Nguyen Founder Read full review
Cons	Reporting: Many of the reports that are provided for free with Fishbowl are useless in the context of everyday manufacturing and production planning. Some reports provide inaccurate information. In order to use get useful and correct reports, outside developers must be paid (a new or modified report may cost anywhere from $150 to $2000) Customer service can be hit or miss. In our experience, a knowledgeable person is rarely available, but for the most part customer service has no idea how real manufacturing works to provide reasonable answers to fix Fishbowl shortfalls. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Very pricey, you have to pay for the mobile version. The integration to make labels is very complicated for my fellow colleagues. Sometimes it doesn't log in easily, and we've had to purchase quite a few licenses when we first started up with inFlow because it cannot be used on more than one PC at a time. Now that years have passed and we don't need so many concurrent users, we are sadly stuck with all these extra users that we paid extra for, for no reason. We also are looking for reasons to switch to another company, as inFlow does not offer much support after the maintenance period has ended and we've had to constantly pay extra to renew a maintenance plan to receive support.

Support Rating	Originally the support for Fishbowl was very poor. It was hard to get anyone to help. In the last 12 - 14 months, it has greatly improved and if it continues this way I would certainly rate it higher. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
