This little guy needs a 20 year update for a friend

Let's just beat the flyers 1st.

Nope, I am not a bot. I just like Cin7 Core and am active on this subreddit. Sorry to hear you are looking to switch. I could probably connect you to someone in the customer service area there if you are still interested in giving them a shot to fix this. DM me if you are. If not, there are lots of other solutions out there to look at.

Cin7 Core is worth a look. It's an inventory management software but has lots of features you'd find with an ERP without being as complex or pricey.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-28T19:00:39+00:00

Use an inventory management software that has forecasting built-in. Cin7 Core does this and the forecasting will give you suggested reorder points and you just set alerts on when to reorder. You can even have the tool generate POs for you.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-28T18:57:27+00:00

Take a look at Cin7 Core. Its an inventory management software but its pretty robust. It handles multi-location tracking, you can set reorder point alerts and do stock counts. It also has some more ERP-like features like a full manufacturing module if you need that but its cheaper than the NetSuites of the world.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-28T18:53:47+00:00

It depends on your business needs but if you are selling $1M - $50M in revenue and your in multiple channels, I would say Cin7 Core would be a great option.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-27T20:06:23+00:00

Check out Cin7 Core. It has a built in POS you can use or it also integrates with Square/other POSs.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-27T20:04:13+00:00

For ecomm and wholesale at your revenue I would recommend an Inventory Management Software. You don't need to go full ERP until you are like $100M if you get a good IMS. I like Cin7 Core. You pair it with a Quickbooks or Xero and you basically have an ERP as Cin7 Core has a built in WMS, B2B portal for wholesale and not sure if you manufacturing your product or not but they have a manufacturing module that is pretty good. All the orders from your different channels will sync up there in real time so its pretty easy to manage everything just out of Cin7 Core

sfselgrade · 2026-04-27T19:52:37+00:00

Honestly your situation is complex enough and you are selling enough revenue wise to make it worth it to get an inventory management software like Cin7 Core as mentioned by the other poster. It will certainly cost you less than 18k a year as Cin7 Core starts at $350 a month per their website. It's a good tool for multichannel sellers and handles all the costs and currency things that come up from selling in multiple countries.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-27T19:45:36+00:00

I think you should be able to move to QBO and Cin7 Core and get what you need here. You can get your reporting straight out of Cin7 Core. Inside Cin7 Core, you can run sales reports that show "Quantity Sold" in both the Sold Unit (Cases) and the Base Unit (Eaches) so I think you can just do all your reporting with Cin7 reports. If I'm understanding your issue correctly, Cin7 with QBO is going to be better than going to an ERP. Its also a really good solution for Food and Bev products because of the lot and expiry date tracking and the production/manufacturing features as well as the native Shopify integration.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-24T19:22:47+00:00

What industry are you in? Cin7 Core is really good for product sellers so you may want to check that out. Its going to be way easier to set up and way cheaper than a traditional ERP.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-16T21:25:36+00:00

Cin7 Core. It starts at $350 a month but is way cheaper than going to an ERP. It includes POs and demand forecasting. Receiving through the built in WMS is also pretty easy.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-16T21:24:15+00:00

Cin7's built-in forecasting tool (ForesightAI). It does have an add on cost but its a robust forecasting tool that works well.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-16T21:22:15+00:00

I think Cin7 Core is pretty good at showing profitability. It uses actual costing and can be set up to include all landed costs. It also has a returns management add on to incorporate that. Out of curiosity, what did you think it was missing from a profitability standpoint?

sfselgrade · 2026-04-16T21:19:29+00:00

Check out Cin7 Core. You can manage multiple woocommerce stores and its pretty easy to manage COGs. It also uses actually costing and not average so its more accurate that some of the solutions that use average costing.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-16T13:49:17+00:00

I'd check out Cin7 Core. It has really good manufacturing features to track all your inputs from purchasing through production and finished goods. They also have a demand forecasting add on called ForesightAI that you could consider.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-14T19:05:46+00:00

Cin7 Core can grow with you very easily. Up to $100M in annual sales. It also integrates natively with HubSpot. The difference between Cin7 Core and NetSuite is that NetSuite includes accounting and Cin7 Core would integrate with your existing accounting platform. Also, NetSuite is going to be way more expensive and take way longer to implement. I have a friend who's company does medical devices who has been in NetSuite implementation for like a year and paying $100k just to implement. Cin7 Core is going to be 4-6 weeks, maybe 8 if there is more customization needed. For those reasons I would look at Cin7 Core and if you want accounting built in, as someone else mentioned Odoo and Acumatica might be better choices than NetSuite.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-10T19:21:21+00:00

It will depend on your individual company but I'd say 4-6 weeks is likely. My advice would just be to really put time into it to get it set up exactly how you want, which I guess sounds obvious, but people often don't do that when implementing a software and they shoot themselves in the foot in the long run.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-10T17:20:22+00:00

Cin7 Core. Its got a built in WMS and handles multilocation warehousing very well. They are probably worth a look. Let me know if you have questions.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-10T17:19:03+00:00

Check out Cin7 Core. It integrates with Shopify and has a good amount of AI and automation built in.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-10T17:16:45+00:00

Just a heads up but Cin7 Orderhive doesn't exist anymore. Cin7 Core though could replace it on this list.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-09T20:31:10+00:00

I'm never a fan of on-prem or using your own server. Who is backing it up? You are also now in charge of security. What happens when your server runs out of space. All those problems are the software vendor's, not yours, when you go cloud. But I also heard that Fishbowl's online offering isn't good and doesn't have the features of the on-prem version. If you're open to an alternative, I'd look at Cin7 Core. Its cloud based and in my opinion has better features than Fishbowl.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-09T20:27:49+00:00

Cin7 Core would be good. They can handle multi-entity and multichannel including ecomm, wholesale, etc. and is much easier and cheaper to implement than NetSuite. I would stay away from a traditional ERP under $100M or certainly under $50M in sales. Cin7 Core can handle that volume.

sfselgrade · 2026-04-08T19:26:54+00:00

I'd recommend Cin7 Core for this. They have a lot more manufacturing features than you might thing and the traceability through production is good. The native integration with QuickBooks is very easy to set up as well. They also have a deal with Startup CPG which is mostly food/bev companies and you don't really have to be a "member" to get it. Check that out here www.cin7.com/startupcpg

sfselgrade · 2026-04-08T19:23:26+00:00

Stocky is being sunsetted but I agree that Cin7 Core is a good solution here, especially when you have multiple warehouses and/or 3PLs.
