The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Cin7
Strengths
- Multi-location inventory, warehousing, purchasing and multi-channel orders in one system
- More than 700 native integrations plus an API
- Two-way sync with QuickBooks and Xero
- 24/7 global support, with group, one-to-one and partner-led implementation
Limitations
- No general ledger of its own; accounting depends on a QuickBooks or Xero integration
- Time tracking is limited to picking and packing efficiency, so employee hours are not covered
- Plans cap the annual sales order volume, from 6,000 on Standard to 120,000 on Advanced
- Users come bundled per plan, so a small team pays for seats it may not use
Projektron BCS
Strengths
- End-to-end project management plus ERP in one
- Method-independent, supports all common PM standards
- Strong controlling and real-time transparency
- Scales to enterprise/multi-project
- On-premise option
- German security and hosting
Limitations
- Powerful means complex, steep learning curve
- The exact licence price per user depends on the chosen range of functions, so it is quoted individually
- The mobile app covers attendance, expenses and contacts only, not the full client
