"Where your simply not important enough - 2nd EDIT"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

The complete package received is very cost effective compared to other products in the market place. You only need to pay for modules that you use.

Support is extremely quick, and for the most part they know what they are talking about and issues are resolved promptly,

EDITED - zero customer support and feedback since becoming Cin7. They cant even keep their own paid extra's (automations) working, but they still take your money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

I feel that they need an experienced accountant on their IT team as there are "holes" in their programming that really should not be there and often we are only talking about basic accounting.

There is no age analysis

Reporting is in general very poor and difficult to navigate and find what you are looking for

No report for credit notes not restocked

Ability to not have discount on a single item

Authorisation for credit notes is linked to invoices instead of being stand alone

- Many small issues that if fixed will make a monumental difference to the users

EDITED - ZERO CUSTOMER SUPPORT NOW SINCE CIN7 TOOK OVER - SINCE THEY CANT KEEP THEIR OWN PAID ADD-ONS WORKING IT IS TIME TO LOOK FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES WHERE THE CLIENT IS NOT TREATED AS A CASH COW Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cin7 Core is a great Inventory Management System!"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I like the user interface and there are so many functional features that apply to almost all business types. Easy to integrate with multiple tech stacks and sales channels (ecommerce, accounting, POS). It's very easy to implement products, crm data and I use the system daily for both internally and other clients as an adviser. The customer support team has been very approachable and responsive including the helpful documents/articles available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

The Feature Request(s) do require time for the development team to identify, public voting is also a factor ensuring that these requests are applicable to the larger community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ERP with great functionality - Some improvements could be beneficial"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I like how we can control all the templates and the B2B visual.

It is fairly user-friendly.

Lots of tutorials, and the Academy is great.

We got the onboarding focused plan. Dinush Thiyagarajan was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

I wish the B2B could display only the store we want instead of either only one or all.

The Sale Orders have limited features. It is not possible to merge 2 or move items to another SO.

In the Sales pages, I wish it were possible to filter by status. There are lots of different status and they don't match the preset filters which we find to be confusing.

I find that most pages are missing a multi-filtering option. Ex: In the Product Availability page, it is impossible to filter for a specific brand, on Hand greater than 0 and inventory for store 1 and store 2. To see that, you have to export in Excel.

I wish there was a master search field where I could type the name of a page to access it quickly.

The ChatBOT is useless.

Impossible to mark some inventory as not-available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shuaib Khan our Onboarding Specialist was outstanding"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

We are at the tail end of our onboarding journey with CIN7 Core and, while our exploration of the software's full capabilities is just beginning, we are already compelled to share our outstanding experience with their onboarding process, led by their truly exceptional Onboarding Specialist, Shuaib Khan.

From our very first interaction, it was clear that CIN7 Core prioritises a seamless and supportive client integration. The onboarding journey was meticulously planned, yet flexible enough to adapt to our specific needs and questions. Every step felt intuitive, well-paced, and remarkably efficient, ensuring we absorbed crucial information without ever feeling overwhelmed. The resources provided were comprehensive and easy to navigate, laying a solid foundation for our future use.

However, the true standout of this experience was Shuaib Khan our Onboarding Specialist. He didn't just guide us; he became an invaluable partner in our initial understanding of the platform. Shuaib's expertise is profound – he possess a encyclopaedic knowledge of the software, patiently explaining complex functionalities in an easily digestible manner.

Shuaib consistently went above and beyond our expectations. He anticipated our questions before we even asked them, offered insightful best practices tailored to our workflow, and ensured every session was not just informative, but genuinely engaging. His patience was boundless, demonstrating a clear commitment to ensuring the team felt completely comfortable and confident before moving forward. Shuaib was incredibly responsive to emails and follow-up queries, providing quick and thorough answers that never left us waiting. It felt less like a training session and more like a personalised mentorship.

Absolutely brilliant onboarding specialist, we hope this standard of support continues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

We have only just come towards the end of our onboarding, therefore it is too early in our journey to give feedback on the software at this stage. The only obvious area that the developers could improve is the rental equipment capabilities under the sales module of the software. This would make the scope of the software be more comprehensive for a business that sell products, services and rentals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great business growth experience"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I like the reporting, MRP, product famillies and the fact that Cin7 can integrate with shopify and if I would like to in the future, I can integrate Xero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

Having used Shopify and Cin7 at the same time in a migration I would say Cin7 let's itself down by not being able to bulk edit on the platform, instead the csv method is used which is good but means there are many fields of data to look at at the same time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detail Oriented"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

What I am liking the best about Cin7 is all the different functions that I can use for inventory managements and that it is linked to other tools that I use on a day to day basis but now I should be able to see everythin in CIN7.

CIN7 does have a great university/library and the customer service is on to of everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

It is a little complex and doe sneed to have good knowledge of the tool in order to take the most advantage of everything that can be included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CIN-7 New Customer"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

So far it is an intuitive system and easy to navigate. The implementation is key and you must pay attention and rewatch the videos numerous times to get the hang of it. I had no prior inventory system experience so I'm sure it was more of a hill for me to climb and I did it.

The implementation team, Zoey Dutton and Emma Sawin, are fantastic. They took time with me to make sure I understood workflow steps, answered my emails within 24 hours, and were willing to give more detailed answers knowing my lack of knowledge about inventory systems in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

There are not a lot of online videos in their help center. Also, in the help center there are questions with topics I have questions on, but no response from the CIN-7 team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Platform, Significant Time Saver"
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I find the setup process of Cin7 Core to be very straightforward, especially with the support provided by Jinesh. The system helps us manage inventory, production, and sales information efficiently. Using Cin7 Core allows me to keep all information off spreadsheets and in one location, which saves me a significant amount of time and ensures accurate data input. I appreciate the intuitive and seamless continuity of the platform from purchase orders to sales orders. Additionally, the integration with QuickBooks works great, enhancing my operational efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

We were looking for a an "erp-lite" for our growing company to scale and connect platforms. We are also excited about foresight ai. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

Some of the set up was cumbersome just in the sense of limits on csv size or number of pos or sales on an upload, etc. This was only an issue for the initial sales order data though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

He is very professional and also very patient in answering all my questions in detail. I truly appreciated how carefully he explained everything and even provided clear solutions to the issues I faced.

The system itself is user-friendly and easy to understand, which made the whole experience even smoother. Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the service and the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
