Everything You Need to Run Inventory
Great inventory management isn't one feature, it's six jobs done well and connected together. Here's how Cin7 handles each stage of the journey, from the first purchase order to the reorder that keeps your shelves stocked.

Optimize Your Sourcing
Cin7 helps you manage suppliers, purchase orders, and manufacturing so raw materials and finished goods are always accounted for. Track costs, lead times, and supplier performance in one place, and turn a purchase order into received stock without re-entering a thing.
Store
Organize Your Inventory
Cin7 gives you a clear, real-time picture of what's on hand, what's committed, and what's in transit, all from one dashboard. Move products between locations, manage bins and batches, and count with confidence, whether you've got one storeroom or a dozen warehouses.
Sell
Sync Every Sales Channel
Cin7 keeps Shopify, Amazon, and your point-of-sale in sync in real time from one platform. When a customer buys on Amazon, that sale immediately updates every channel, so no more double-selling or manual re-entry. Orders land in one queue, ready to fulfill.
Bill
Simplify Your Accounting
Cin7 connects directly to QuickBooks and Xero, so sales, purchases, and stock adjustments sync automatically. Your cost of goods, margins, and tax details stay accurate as you go, which means month-end stops feeling like a marathon.
Report
Gain Immediate Insights
Cin7's reporting turns your inventory and sales data into clear, actionable insights. Spot trends, catch slow movers early, and see which channels, products, and locations drive your profit so you can make decisions based on real numbers.
Restock
Restock with Precision
Cin7's AI-powered forecasting predicts what you'll need before you need it, then automated reordering kicks in when stock hits your reorder point. You're not tying up cash in product that sits, and you're not turning customers away.
Manage Inventory with Precision
Here's the thing about inventory: no single step happens in a vacuum. What you source affects what you store, what you store affects what you can sell, and what you sell should shape what you restock. When those steps live in separate tools, small gaps turn into big problems fast. Cin7 connects the whole workflow so everything talks to everything else.
It works end to end. You source materials and stock from suppliers, then store them with full visibility across every location. As orders come in, you sell across all your channels with quantities that stay accurate in real time. Each sale flows into billing and syncs with your accounting, while your reports show you exactly what's performing. Finally, AI forecasting tells you when and how much to restock, closing the loop and starting the cycle again with smarter numbers each time. Because it all runs on one connected platform with over 700 integrations, your data stays consistent from the first purchase order to the final sale. Ready to put real numbers to it?
Your Connected Inventory Solution
Your inventory management software should play nicely with the tools you already rely on, not force you to rip and replace. With 700+ integrations, Cin7 connects to the platforms that run your business. Sync your books with QuickBooks or Xero. Keep your storefronts current on Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce. Ring up sales through your POS and hand off fulfillment to your 3PL, all while every order and stock change flows back to one central hub.
The payoff is simple: one connected platform. Your online shop, warehouse, accounting, and shipping partners all stay on the same page, which means fewer errors, less manual work, and a business that's ready to add channels whenever you are. And because these are real, maintained connections, not brittle one-off hacks, they keep working as your stack grows.
Inventory Management FAQs
How does Cin7 provide real-time inventory visibility?
Cin7 tracks every stock movement as it happens across all your locations and sales channels. When something sells, ships, or arrives, your counts update instantly, so you're always working from accurate numbers rather than yesterday's snapshot.
Can Cin7 handle multichannel inventory management?
Absolutely. Cin7 keeps inventory synced across your online stores, marketplaces, retail locations, and POS in real time. Sell on several channels at once without the fear of overselling or manually updating each one.
How does Cin7 optimize stock levels?
Cin7 uses AI-powered demand forecasting to predict what you'll need and when. Paired with automated reordering, it helps you hold the right amount of stock, so you avoid both costly overstock and frustrating stockouts.
Can Cin7 streamline warehouse operations?
Yes. Cin7 gives you full visibility into what's on hand, committed, and in transit across every warehouse. With organized locations and clear picking, packing, and receiving workflows, your team moves product faster and with fewer errors.
How does Cin7 support regulatory compliance?
Cin7 helps you maintain accurate records, batch and serial tracking, and detailed reporting, which makes it easier to meet industry requirements and stay audit-ready. Your data is organized and traceable when you need it.
What makes Cin7 more than just inventory software?
Cin7 is a full IMS, sometimes called ERP Lite, that connects sourcing, storage, sales, billing, reporting, and restocking in one place. It's built to run the operational heart of your product business, not just count what's on the shelf. There's a whole list of benefits of inventory management software worth weighing as you decide.
What is the best inventory management software?
Honestly, the best inventory management software is the one that fits how you sell, not the one with the longest feature list. If you run a product business across multiple channels, you'll want a connected IMS that syncs stock, orders, and accounting in real time instead of a tool that only counts what's on the shelf. We built Cin7 for exactly that, with 700+ integrations and AI-powered forecasting so your operations keep up as you grow.
Is there a free inventory management system?
Yes, free and low-cost options exist, and they're a fair starting point when you're just getting off the ground. The catch is that most free tools stop at basic counting, so once you add sales channels and warehouses, the manual workarounds start eating your time. When you outgrow the freebies, a connected IMS like Cin7 pays for itself by automating the busywork you'd otherwise do by hand.
Can I use Excel for inventory management?
You can, and plenty of businesses start right there in a spreadsheet. Excel works fine until your stock lives in several places at once, orders pour in from different channels, and one typo throws your numbers off. At that point a purpose-built IMS keeps everything synced automatically, so you're managing your business instead of babysitting formulas.
What are the benefits of using inventory management software?
The big win is time back: automation handles reordering, syncing, and reporting so your team stops doing it by hand. You'll also see fewer stockouts and less overstock because you can finally trust your numbers across every channel in real time.
