Case Study: Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates improves inventory visibility and controls manufacturing costs with inFlow Inventory

How This Ecommerce Business Balances Profits and Purpose

Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates, a family-owned maker of organic vegan chocolates, faced a significant challenge with inventory management. The company had no formal system, relying on a chaotic process of visually estimating stock and only reordering ingredients once they were completely depleted. This lack of visibility was especially problematic as their operation was split between a factory and a fulfillment warehouse. To gain control, they turned to the inventory management software from inFlow.

The solution from inFlow provided the necessary visibility and automation across their entire operation. The software gave Sjaak’s visibility into stock levels across multiple locations and automated key processes like creating work orders for production and managing sales orders for fulfillment. The most critical result was inFlow's automatic calculation of the cost of goods sold (COGS), which was a game-changer for accurately determining the cost of individual products made from massive ingredient batches. This implementation by inFlow brought essential efficiency and financial control to their process from start to finish.
