Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Inventory)

Cin7 (which recently acquired the highly popular DEAR Inventory and rebranded it as Cin7 Core) is a colossal, highly robust, and fiercely competitive platform that targets the "Complex Mid-Market Product Seller and Light Manufacturer." While Zoho handles simple e-commerce well, Cin7 is engineered for businesses that have agonizingly complex supply chains, B2B wholesale portals, and actual physical manufacturing processes. The absolute core differentiator of Cin7 is its "Complex Supply Chain and Manufacturing Unification." If a company imports coffee beans from Brazil, roasts them in a facility, and sells them B2B to grocery stores and B2C via Shopify, Cin7 tracks the entire lifecycle. It handles the complex 'Bill of Materials' (BOM) to track the cost of the raw beans turning into a roasted bag, and tracks the exact landed cost of shipping. Because it bridges the gap between a simple e-commerce tool and a massive, expensive ERP, it is the absolute sweet spot for rapidly scaling brands, light manufacturers (food, apparel), and B2B wholesale distributors.
