Our verdict: Cin7
Best for multichannel brands and distributors exceeding thousands of orders annually who need EDI, 3PL, and multiple warehouses. Not for you if you are an SME or startup: the $349/month entry, no French interface, and deployment heaviness are out of proportion to the need.
Our verdict: Katana
Best for makers and D2C brands selling on Shopify or Amazon who must link BOMs, production, and stock in one tool, with a free plan to start under 30 SKUs. Not for you if your team does not work in English or if your software budget is under $300 per month: add-on modules quickly double the cost.
