Frequently asked questions

Can Cin7 track accurate costs instead of average costs?

Cin7 is always accurate, never average. It provides the ise cost of goods sold (COGS) that takes into account freight, duty, landed costs and more to ultimately give you true gross profits. Cin7 recalculates COGS for a sales order if landed cost change and posts it to the same period as the sales order.

Can Cin7 offer advanced software features for complex workflows and scale with growth?

As your business grows, the complexity of processes grows with it. Cin7 has a lot of complex workflow functionality already built-in to address your growing needs, saving you time and money that would otherwise be spent to develop solutions from scratch. 

We have to continuously update stock as we sell in multiple channels.

You adjust inventory in multiple spreadsheets and/or software, but over time your inventory levels become inaccurate. CIN7 automatically adjusts inventory as you sell online and in stores, accelerating the fulfillment process, reducing admin and preventing inventory control errors.

Can Cin7 handle advanced software features like different types of customers?

You sell many varieties of products to many kinds of customers. Your current system doesn’t let you allocate inventory intended for each of your B2B and B2C channels. With Cin7, you can allocate stock according to the kind of customer you’re selling to, transfer stock to where it sells best and plan purchases based on historical trends. Easily monitor, control and automate the movement of your inventory from end to end. 

Can Cin7 handle all channels and locations without the custom development that ERPs require?

Indeed. Cin7 built its 450+ integrations to cover most customers’ requirements out of the box. Easily sync data with eCommerce platforms, online marketplaces, accounting solutions, 3PL warehouses, marketing and shipping solutions, and even with retail trading partners. Expansive integration and built-in POS and warehouse features let you manage all your sales channels and stock locations in a single platform without expensive, time-consuming customization.

Cin7 integrates with Xero and Quickbooks online

Cin7 automatically updates your accounting system with purchases, sales, and inventory values, while recognising payments.

The benefit of integrating two best of breed solutions

As you know, Xero and Quickbooks are comprehensive online accounting solutions. Cin7, on the other hand, is an all-inclusive inventory management solution that helps businesses to stay focused on selling their stock.

e-Commerce and Online Sales Channels

Firstly, in today’s modern business world, if you do not reduce your administration time, you will eventually be outperformed and suffer huge losses. Secondly, if you are not selling your stock on the internet using user-friendly websites like WooCommerce and Shopify, and channels like B2B, Amazon and eBay, to name a few, you too will lose sales.

Accurate Costing

What makes Cin7 a genuinely unique and beautiful system is the fact that it automatically updates your accounting solution with your latest purchases, sales, and inventory values so that you can see landed costs and gross profit reports. All the information in your accounting solution is mostly transactional summaries, as there is no need to see detail where they do not matter.

Further, Cin7 accurately track stock values when selling items. These values are loads into your accounting system to maintain an overall stock value and ensure ATO compliance.

Besides, Cin7 also track landed costs. For Example, Cin7 factors in exchange rates, duty, and freight when items are in stock. Tracking landed costs makes for the exact cost of goods and gross profit figures when reporting resulting in better purchasing and sales decisions and eventual profits.

No more errors

In the same vein, it reduces data entry requirements and eliminates input errors. Cin7 exports sales orders, purchase orders, credit notes, stock adjustments, COGS and contacts to your accounting system. Having automatically synchronising data saves you time entering data and eliminates human error.

Reporting

Likewise, Cin7 can also produce current and historical sales reports by branch. The reporting is interactive and allows filtering and drill down. Cin7 provides you with detailed inventory, manufacturing, purchasing and sales reports that are not available in your accounting solution.

Bank Reconciliation

Subsequently, Cin7 make use of batching daily POS payments and eCommerce sales. Cin7 batches payments together when closing POS registers at the end of the day. One entry means only one invoice per payment is importing into your Xero or Quickbooks, making reconciliation super easy.

Lastly, the multi-currency feature allows for flexible selling and purchasing. Cin7 supports all major currencies for selling and purchasing. If you buy an item in a foreign currency, Cin7 will enable you to maintain the exchange rate to meet your requirements.
