		Pros from Real Users Pros We have used Flowlens from the opening of our company back in 2020, it was and is a key driver to our daily operations. From quoting, to acknowledging orders, creating job cards, placing purchase orders, inventory control aswell as reporting and invoicing. The Flowlens team have been a great support throughout our time using Flowlens! The systems ease and functionality make it a really good MRP system for us and I would recommend to others. Ease of use, revolutionised stock control and manufacturing. took care of the quality control inspections and testing The dashboard and the many widgets that are available to use give a complete picture of where we are at with sales, quotes, conversions of orders. The reporting suite provides visibility on all the metrics we need, profitability, stock, stock movements etc. therefore visibility across the business is incredible compared to our previous systems. Easy to use. Integrates well with the accounts package.
