What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

Cin7 Core unifies our entire inventory and sales operations under one platform, which has been invaluable for our multi-channel setup. We love how straightforward it is to monitor stock levels, sync orders from Shopify and Amazon, and track profitability all in real time. Plus, the native integrations with QuickBooks Online and ShipStation save us hours each week since we no longer have to juggle multiple spreadsheets or manually update separate systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

The biggest challenge is the learning curve—there’s a lot of functionality to master right from the start. Self-onboarding can be tricky if you don’t have an experienced team or a consultant (like www.fiskalfinance.com) to guide you through the more advanced setup steps. Occasionally, the interface feels a bit dated, but overall those minor issues don’t outweigh the huge gains in efficiency once everything’s properly configured Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly, easy interface"
4/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I like the simple interface that makes it easy to navigate, and I like that you can do so much in one system and include many integrations so that all of your systems can work together. The support team is really helpful and knowledgeable also. We got great knowledge from our onboarding specialist, Shuaib, who was very friendly, and was always on hand to support us when we needed it. We use it as our main system everyday to process orders and manage our inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

The reporting module could do with a bit of work as the customizations in it are a bit limited. It would be great if there was an easier way to get notified about the need to reorder stock. And lastly when creating purchase orders it would be great to create one purchase order with several receiving dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Disappointing, Unresponsive, and Unfair"
0/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

The interface looked promising and the feature list seemed like it could support a growing business. Unfortunately, that promise never translated into real results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

We signed up hoping for a smooth, scalable platform — but onboarding was disorganized and support was incredibly unhelpful. Every time we asked for guidance, the answer was, “Unfortunately, that’s not possible.” We never fully onboarded, never used the platform, and despite communicating all this early on, CIN7 refused to issue a refund. They’ve since gone silent and ignored every follow-up. As a small business, it’s extremely disheartening to feel dismissed and taken advantage of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good inventory plugin for Xero"
4/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

We have multiple warehouses but Xero does not allow us to track inventory movements across warehouses. Cin 7 Core was the solution for us as it enabled us to track items across warehouses and do much more including product assemblies and production runs. The variety of reports available was also useful for monthly inventory reporting purposes. We've been using Cin 7 Core for five years and it's been working well. The customer support was also prompt and ready to resolve any issues we had. I would recommend for any business that wants to manage their inventories in a more comprehensive manner to choose Cin 7 Core. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

It may take a while to learn the different function and how it links to Xero. But once you've learnt it, it's easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An uncomplicated 21st century upgrade that made managing the business far less complicated."
5/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

For us the access to the free training was a game changer. It is already an expensive service for certain SME companies, however the funtionality, technical support, ability to not have to pay additional companies thousands in order to conduct business as usual are all big factors for why we like Cin7 Core Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

Having to pay much more for additional users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used Cin7 Core for years"
2/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

I can see how Cin7 Core might be worth it for certain businesses, especially manufacturing companies that need robust raw materials management and complex inventory workflows. If you're doing actual manufacturing with multiple components and assembly processes, the expanded feature set probably makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

Used Cin7 Core for years, back when it was still called Dear Inventory. Once Cin7 acquired them, I knew things would change - and they did, not in a good way.

The platform started adding features I didn't need or use, while simultaneously raising prices significantly. I found myself paying more for the same core functionality that wasn't improving for my specific use case.

I left the platform a few months ago because I couldn't justify the higher costs when my actual needs weren't being better served. The additional features felt like bloat rather than value-adds for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use interface and Quick response service"
5/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

Great interface. It's been a lot easier to train staff on this interface than other ERP and WMS systems I have used in the past.

I also have had a great experience with their learning hub and support ticket system. I lodge requests and generally get a response the same day if I have noted my ticket is critical, it could be within the hour Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

Sometimes there can be a communication barrier and whilst the response can be quick, it may not be detailed unless you ask further questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product, woeful support."
1.5/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

We switched from Cin7 Omni. The Omni product was good, but has some pretty big limitations for us. We switched around the time that Cin7 acquired Dear Systems. Cin7 Core had a much more robust feature set than Cin7 Omni and provides light ERP features at an affordable price point. The integrations with Cin7 Core are much more refined than Cin7 Omni. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

The support is absolutely woeful.

Support agents lack reading comprehension and therefore don't answer your questions. At times their replies feel like they are gaslighting you. They are in a hurry to close your case before the issue is resolved.

To their credit, it has improved over the last year and at least you will get a response within a day or so. After Cin7 acquired Dear Systems it would take up to a week to receive a reply to a support ticket.

There are lots of really good community feature improvements/suggestions on the old Dear Systems and new Cin7 Core feature request board that just get ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Support session with Atulya Pillai"
4/5
What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

Atulya was very knowledgeable and provided good advice on our queries relating to the way a bespoke shipping cost calculator might be integrated with CIN7 and on the best way for us to utlise the Product BOM functionality. Atulya was a pleasure to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

The Academy guidance on configuring shipping costs could not be found, nor could I find any appreciable detail on how to configure the Product BOM. The overall function was demonstrated but there was no explanation of what certain fields were and how they worked, such as %wastage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cin7 Core?

It's an effective system for managing production and seamlessly syncing with other accounting software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cin7 Core?

I would like to view the Accounts Receivable (AR) report. Currently, its sub report cannot be exported to Excel. Having the option to export the sub report to Excel would be a great help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
