Access Mintsoft vs Cin7

Introduction

If you are reading this article, it is probably safe to assume that your current inventory management solution is not adequately solving your key fulfillment challenges.

It could be that your staff is overburdened with repetitive manual work. Or that you are over or under-selling stock due to a lack of real-time visibility. Your staff may also be frustrated because your systems are not integrated, forcing them to log in multiple times to pull orders from different channels.

If you are experiencing any of these challenges, your current inventory management solution might not be best equipped to help your business grow. You need a solution that is better suited to your unique requirements – and one designed to solve the challenges of today’s online retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers.
