Unleashed is an inventory management software offering from The Access Group, that includes features such as integrated eCommerce accounting.
Primarily B2C focused, I think that the B2B features are increasing but the core focus of the platform (and Magento) is really consumer-based. That said, if you are looking for the fastest time to market with minimal investment option then Adobe Commerce is likely not the option that 9 out of 10 people would opt for nowadays.
Cin7 is great because a business can set up quickly without having to invest in hardware/servers, and the business does not need to be concerned about backing up data. Cin7 software is easy and intuitive to use. The pricing was competitive for cloud-based software that can be customized to each business. The software is constantly updated so a business does not have to worry about paying for updates or paying a large lump sum to purchase new updated software. However, Cin7 is able to increase its fees at any time. We experienced a significant price increase after 1 year. With purchased software, a business would not have to worry about unexpected pricing changes. Cin7 offers a useful integration with BigCommerce. Unfortunately, their own B2B website is lacking in features and ultimately not useful to our company. Cin7 does not provide the most useful customer service, as they only offer paid access to phone support. Most of our issue with the software were caused by updates in the software that were not announced, and they could only be fixed via email or tickets the next day.
Unleashed's new AIM (Advanced Inventory Management) module has made stock reordering, forecasting, and general "health" monitoring much easier. What used to be done in a large, hard to maintain, spreadsheet can now be done through this module, and more. Its tight inventory control has been great at stopping users adjusting stock to clear orders, without following a proper review process, and it's really shone a light onto our stock levels and how we're managing them.
Magento Commerce Cloud can be complicated to develop for. In our field, it has been a struggle at times to find qualified developers.
Our merchandising team sees performance issues from time to time. Updating a product and waiting for the change to clear the queue can take up to an hour in some situations.
Because of the incredible amount of features that Magento Commerce Cloud offers, training new employees to use Magento takes a long time.
Onboarding could be improved. We worked with a programmer who was not as familiar with our business needs. Additionally, the person in charge of our onboarding was initially difficult to schedule time with until we reached out to a manager.
Cin7 occasionally makes updates to the software that causes the software to not work properly. For example, we would experience new errors on a CVS file import for products that had worked previously to the update. Additionally, our custom field implementations would be reverted to original and require set up again.
We experienced semi-frequent outages of the software. The software would not be accessible for up to 1 hour at a time. I believe they took steps to address this and reduce down time.
It has the best overall price point. It is super cheap and the connection between our ERP system is unmatched by any other Ecommerce sites we have talked with. We honestly can't get this level of complex customization without having to spend a fortune somewhere else. It is able to do everything we need it to do for the right price.
Being unable to store quotes for later was annoying. People called up expecting to pay there and then, and having to place them on hold whilst you added items to the basket and input all their customer information in was annoying for them and us, making us look unprofessional.
The Cin7 support team has never let us down, even if they weren't able to completely solve our problem. They are willing to have conference calls, video chats, whatever works to help fix your issue.
Magento Commerce was previously put into place and used right when I came onboard. We used it for quite some time, but ultimately the need for our company's specific customizations became too difficult to manage during core updates. We specifically needed a more specialized way of calculating shipping, connecting with our 3PL's inventory API, managing specialized discounts and codes, and even the way we showcased information on the product pages.
As a wholesale focused business, we found Vend to be tailored to retail businesses. TradeGecko was well suited for our wholesale business, however, lacked the full range of capabilities that Cin7 offered (B2B website, POS). Fishbowl had many features that we would not need. OMS Office Master System offered the wholesale capabilities we needed, however, the software could use an update. Cin7 was a perfect balance in terms of features and pricing for our company.
Ultimately we wanted a pure SaaS solution that integrated with Salesforce and Unleashed was the best product we found that natively integrated with the CRM
Great for SEO. We have been able to build out a huge number of highly targeted pages on the site that have propelled our SEO to the next level
Magento plugs in with many third party tools including ERP's, CRM's, shipping tools. It is a core part of our tech stacks and has allowed us to improve our capabilities as a business.
Has enabled us to provide a best in class web experience for our customers. We are constantly expanding the capabilities of Magento and to improve sales and grow our business.
