Cin7 Core is an inventory management and light ERP platform — the most common first step up from Shopify-only inventory management for DTC brands in the $5M range that need SKU-level visibility, B2B price lists, and basic accounting integration without the cost and complexity of NetSuite or Brightpearl. The native Shopify and Shopify Plus integration is solid, with multi-store routing and B2B catalog management as frequent use cases.
Specialists help brands complete the data cleanup that every Cin7 Core migration requires before go-live, configure warehouse zones correctly rather than inheriting the defaults, and scope the platform accurately — Cin7 Core handles inventory and light ops well but is not a substitute for a full ERP on the finance side.
Common services include:
Cin7 Core and Shopify Plus native integration setup and configuration
Multi-store order routing and B2B price list and catalog setup
Pre-migration data cleanup and SKU master alignment
Warehouse zone and location configuration
Accounting integration setup (Xero, QuickBooks)
Cin7 Core vs. Cin7 Omni, Brightpearl, and Linnworks evaluation support
