What changes after we finish
Stock numbers you can actually trust
We rebuild your inventory data, your costing logic, and your reorder points so the numbers in Cin7 Core match the numbers on the warehouse floor. Audit-grade records, every time.
Implementations that go live on time
Discover, design, build, train, cutover. 6–12 weeks for Cin7 Core, 12–20 weeks for most Odoo jobs. Fixed-fee. No "discovery phase" that turns into eight months of billable workshops.
Integrations that don't break at midnight
Cin7 ↔ Xero / MYOB / Shopify / WooCommerce / 3PLs / banks. Built on Make.com, Zapier, or native Python depending on volume. Monitored, retried, alerted.
Two platforms. We go deep on both.
Most Australian implementation shops dabble in everything from NetSuite to MYOB Acumatica to SAP B1. We don’t. We chose Cin7 Core for product businesses doing $1M–$30M, and Odoo when the business needs MRP, multi-entity, or process control beyond Cin7’s range. That’s it. That’s the line.
Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Systems)
Cloud inventory + light ERP. Strong with Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce. Cin7 Partner (since 2020). Best fit: product businesses $1M–$30M turnover.

"We had previously commenced the implementation with another company and it wasn't working. When we found Hanno, everything became much clearer. He really understood our workflow. We have complex bills of materials and nothing we do is straightforward. As a publicly listed business, it is extremely important for us to keep the most accurate records. Our accounting team and our external auditors have noticed the difference."
"We're an SMB medical distributor. We needed an inventory management system + online store integrated with Xero. From initial scope discussion to going live took less than 3 weeks. To say Hanno exceeded our expectations would be an understatement."

Common questions before we start
What is Cin7 Core?
Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Systems) is a cloud inventory and light ERP platform for product businesses. It handles purchasing, inventory across multiple warehouses, sales orders, manufacturing, and integrates with Xero, Shopify and WooCommerce.
How long does a Cin7 Core implementation take?
A typical Cin7 Core implementation runs 6–12 weeks from kickoff to go-live, depending on data complexity, integrations and the number of warehouses or sales channels. We'll give you a fixed-fee scope and timeline after the Discover session.
What does an implementation cost?
Most Cin7 Core implementations sit between AUD $10k and $30k depending on data complexity, integrations, and number of warehouses. Odoo implementations vary more — typically $15k to $120k depending on modules (finance, inventory, MRP, ecommerce, custom development). Every quote is fixed-fee, scoped after the Discover session.
Which integrations do you build?
Xero, MYOB, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, 3PLs, freight carriers, payment gateways, banks, and custom internal systems. We use Make.com, Zapier, or native Python depending on volume and reliability needs.
Can you fix a broken Cin7 setup we already have?
Yes. We do remediation work on existing Cin7 Core implementations — stock accuracy, COGS issues, broken integrations, reporting gaps and Xero reconciliation problems.
Are you Australia-based?
Yes. Software4Business is based in Cleveland, Brisbane, QLD. We work with clients across all Australian states, remote-first, with onsite visits when the job warrants it.
Do you work remotely or onsite?
Both. Most implementation work is done remotely over Zoom and screen-share. For training days, go-live and complex warehouse cutover, we travel to client sites within Australia.
What industries do you specialise in?
Wholesale, eCommerce, manufacturing, and retail. Our deepest experience is in product businesses doing AUD $1M–$30M turnover that have outgrown Xero or MYOB on their own.
