Here’s a quick breakdown of what we tried:
✅ NetSuite ERP – Powerful but too complex and overkill for our size.
✅ Zoho Inventory – Clean interface and affordable, but lacked mobile flexibility.
✅ copyright Commerce – Great for finance teams, but we needed more stock audit focus.
✅ Cin7 – Loved the omnichannel features, but it required a long onboarding process.
✅ Stockount – Surprisingly effective for mobile-first audits, expiry tracking, and field-level accuracy.

Plus, they offered a 15-day free trial with full access (no credit card required), which helped us test everything without risk.
