Your ERP Alternative
The Power of An ERP Without the Bloat
Why settle for a rigid, legacy system? Cin7 is the leading ERP alternative designed for modern brands that need enterprise-grade supply chain control without the enterprise-grade price tag.
The ERP Lite Advantage
That Scales with You
Most ERP alternatives fall short on power, but traditional ERPs fall short on agility. Designed for growing brands, Cin7 sits in the "ERP lite" sweet spot: giving you total control over your entire supply chain.
Go-Live in Weeks: While legacy ERP implementations could drag on for a year, Cin7 gets you operational in a fraction of the time—no expensive consultants required.
No "PhD in ERP" Required: Ditch the heavy IT requirements. Our cloud-native platform is built for operations teams to manage, not technical specialists.
The Accounting Power-Up: Stay on the accounting software you love such as Xero or QuickBooks and let Cin7 handle the heavy-duty operations logic.

With [the ERP] we knew that if everything’s perfect, it takes six months to get it up and running, and I didn’t have six months. Cin7 was live within six weeks.
Brendan McCarthy
Managing Director, Sika Design
I looked at the functionality and noticed there's a lot more growth and flexibility in this than there is in a high-end ERP.
