Cin7 Omni

Terrible customer service. Look for another provider.
Just like other reviewers, we've waited weeks or months for a simple response, some of them being critical. Furthermore, we've had to look at alternative solutions for 3PL implementation, and we were still charged for the implementation fee, despite cancelling the deployment after 3 months of waiting. Looking for a refund now, which no one, CS or accounts have responded to as of yet. Look elsewhere.

If you're looking at a high-powered software for inventory management, run. This software has cost me thousands of dollars and takes up more of my staff's time than actual work. It does not function properly - even BASIC functions. Customer support is relatively non existent on email. When you submit cases, they go unanswered. This was one of the worst decisions I made in my 9 years of ownership.

Absolutely did not work. Spent around 4k and almost eight months for the product to fail to deliver on the simplest tasks, and spent 2K on scanners RECCOMMENDED by the CIN7 tech support, only to have them tell us later they're incompatible with the program. Inept, a joke, stay away.

We've been using CIN7 and Shopify for a few years now and we have found that the two systems work well together.

Absolutely the worst customer service of any software we have ever worked with. They will keep blaming you, not respond to any support tickets and you will end up paying thousands of dollars and spend months in implementation for an inaccurate software. They have so many integration issues/bugs and it's way too complicated for a small-medium size business. Because of the software's issues we had delayed shipments on Amazon and Shopify which caused our account health to drop and made for angry customers. It simply won't sync the orders correctly and they will keep saying it's your fault for not reviewing their "academy" videos which is just ridiculous to ask that after we paid $1,500 for implementation. So mad that we chose to go with this software and will strongly advise you to look for other alternatives. This will NOT make your life easier at all. Quite the opposite. I had high hopes but I cancelled the subscription (which was a process as well) one month after going live and after spending 4 months in implementation. Save your time and money.

Cin7 x Shopify Order routing is lacking in logic.
Sales Orders from Shopify -> Cin7 cannot map on Shopify Inventory location, only Sales Channel.

For example: if you have an order from your Shopify POS, eg a retail store, but the order is to be dispatched by your warehouse.
Sales Channel: retail store
Inventory Location: warehouse

The order can only map based on Sales Channel to Cin7.
So in this scenario, when your order comes into Cin7, it maps to the retail store, instead of the warehouse.
So your inventory will be out of sync.

Cin7 needs to develop more options/logic into their integration for order routing to allow their users to take full advantage of the Shopify omni capabilities. Ie - just be able to sell product from multiple inventory locations.

Considering at least 70% of Cin7 users are on Shopify, it is a striking incapability of the integration.

We switched from Tradegecko and the Cin7 platform has been much better suited to our needs, it integrates well and provides clear reporting options.

We have been using Cin7 now for more than a year. We find is incredibly powerful, and complex. We manage stock and orders on 4 channels (3 x shopify and 1 marketplace) + 3PL. We also have Inventory Planner connected which forecasts purchasing and assists with our POs and stock levels. I would recommend Cin7 if you're willing to invest the time and resources to get to know it intimately. It is our go-to platform for managing our operations.

Pros: Systems integrate well together, you don't encounter many issues. A great system to manage your inventory, especially doe small businesses. Cons: When you do encounter an issue, their service team can take weeks to get back to you and get the issue resolved.

Difficult to implement, not intuitive or user-friendly at all. We paid thousands for onboarding, which they were not able to provide as we discovered we would need to make extensive time-consuming updates to our products within Shopify before we could even import them into Cin7 - this was not evident before we signed up. Cin7 responded to this by pointing out that we're contractually obliged to keep paying them whether we're using the software or not (we never started using it, as we couldn't onboard our data) and they refused any sort of refund or concession. They could not care less about customers. There are far better apps which integrate seamlessly with Shopify for far less money. I greatly regret wasting money on Cin7.
