How QuickBooks handles native inventory movements?
Does the barcode scanner work with FOR:FLOW?
Yes.
- Unleashed: barcode scanning for goods receipt, stock movements, picking, and packing
- Katana: barcode scanning for shop floor, production orders, and warehouse movements
Barcode setup depends on the device and workflow. Our FOR:TECH team can guide you through configuration.
Can I work in the fashion industry with Unleashed or Katana?
Yes, with one important note.
Unleashed and Katana are great for inventory and production, but fashion requires sizes, colors, seasons, collections, which these systems do not natively support.
Most fashion clients use Zedonk, a vertical fashion‑industry platform connected to QuickBooks.
We integrate Zedonk → QuickBooks → FOR modules to guarantee a complete, compliant architecture.
In summary:
- Unleashed/Katana → perfect for inventory & production across most industries
- Zedonk → ideal for fashion, with full integration into your accounting setup
What if I add an e‑commerce after activating FOR:FLOW?
No problem: the FOR:QUICKBOOKS suite is designed to scale.
- FOR:FLOW continues managing your inventory
- E‑commerce sales sync into QuickBooks
- FOR:OMNI handles tax mapping and compliance
You keep everything you’ve already configured, and your CSM guides you through adding the new channel.
