A lot's whole trail, for a recall.

Follow an item by lot or serial number. Each lot keeps its expiry date, the purchase order and supplier it came in on, and the customers it left for.

Shipping takes the first lot to expire unless you name one.

Ask John: "Who got lot 24-118?"

Each customer pays their own price.

Make price lists, with a discount off every sale price or an item's own price, and give each customer their list and payment terms. Their sales orders and invoices follow them.

A billing address of its own when invoices go elsewhere.
Payment terms set the invoice's due date.
Unpaid supplier bills, the first due first.

Change it by asking.

Your app isn’t frozen on day one. Write what you need, the way you’d text it. Alori makes the change and shows you before anything goes live.

The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is an inFlow alternative for a small team that buys, stocks and sells products and wants its CRM, quotes and invoices in the same app. Inventory covers stock by place, suppliers, purchase orders, sales orders, lots and serial numbers, and every plan has unlimited users. Switching is one spreadsheet: export your products from inFlow and import them in Inventory.

Why teams leave inFlow

inFlow Inventory is a solid inventory and order system with barcode scanning and many integrations. Small teams leave it for these reasons:

Each plan counts team members, and each extra one is $29 a month.
inFlow tracks the order, while leads, deals, email and calls are in another app.
A CRM, a quoting tool and a phone app sit on top of the inventory bill.

What you pay

inFlow, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026:

Team of 5	inFlow	Alori
Plan	Core: $379 a month billed monthly, $299 a month billed yearly	Free to start, Solo from $99 a month, Business from $249
People	5 team members, then $29 a month each	Unlimited users on every plan
Places	5 locations on Core	Each place you add: warehouse, shop, site
CRM, deals and calls	Another app	Built in

AI, texts, calls and emails use credits. See pricing.

What Alori replaces

Items and stock by place: in stock, incoming, committed and available at each place, with counts, moves and a history you can undo.
Low stock and reordering: a safety stock per place, a Low stock list, and one click that drafts purchase orders for everything low, one per preferred supplier.
Purchase orders: order from a supplier, receive in parts, buy by the case, add freight and customs to the item's cost, and track the supplier's bills and payments.
Sales orders from an accepted quote: pick, ship, deliver and invoice, with price lists and payment terms per customer.
Lots and serial numbers with expiry dates, and a lot's full trail for a recall.
John, your AI inventory manager, who answers "what's low?" and "how many are at the warehouse?" in chat.
Your CRM: customers, deals, email, calls and tasks on the same customer record as their orders.

What Alori doesn't do yet

Alori has no barcode scanning or label printing, no mobile scanning app, no B2B ordering portal, no Shopify or QuickBooks sync for stock and orders, and no manufacturing with bills of materials. If your warehouse runs on scanners or your stock syncs with a store, stay on inFlow.

How to switch

Start free. Describe your business and say you keep stock. If you already have an app, tell Alori "add inventory".
Export from inFlow. Export your product list as a CSV file.
Import your items. In Inventory, click Import and pick the file. Alori finds the columns (code, name, unit, cost, sale price, quantity, place, supplier and the supplier's code), adds new items, updates the ones already there and makes the suppliers and places it names.
Bring your customers. Paste your customer list into Ask Sam after "Add these customers:". Alori adds them, with an Undo button.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

Yes, for a small team that wants orders and customers in one app with no fee per person. If you depend on barcode scanners, a B2B portal or store syncs, inFlow goes deeper today.

For a team of 5, Alori starts at $99 a month with unlimited users, against $299 to $379 a month on inFlow Core, plus $29 a month for each extra team member.

Alori has a free plan with no card. You can build your app and import your items for free.

Your items from a CSV export: codes, names, units, costs, prices, quantities by place, suppliers and their codes. Past orders stay in inFlow.

Small teams, usually under 50 people. For product companies, see Alori for wholesalers and distributors.
