SkuVault

The universe is vast, chaotic and full of people trying to sell things to other people without ever actually seeing them. This is why both Cin7 and SkuVault exist. They are cloud-based inventory management systems, which is a fancy way of saying they keep track of things so you don’t have to. They both integrate with the kind of platforms that allow humans to buy things they don’t need at 2 AM, they both prevent warehouses from dissolving into an abyss of lost socks and missing widgets and they both insist that barcode scanners are the way forward, which they probably are unless civilization collapses and we go back to trading goats.

Cin7 hails from New Zealand, which, as everyone knows, is a place full of sheep, breathtaking landscapes and people who quietly get on with inventing useful things. It started in 2012 and caters to businesses with a terrifying number of moving parts—warehouses, online stores, in-person shops and maybe a time-traveling van for all we know. It comes with a built-in POS system, lets you customize your workflow in ways that might make you question the nature of reality and generally costs more because it does a lot more, though no one ever seems quite sure how much until they ask.

SkuVault, on the other hand, is from the USA, a country famous for inventing problems and then selling software to fix them. It’s been around since 2011 and specializes in keeping warehouses from descending into anarchy. If you run a fulfillment center or just enjoy shouting "where the hell is that thing I ordered," SkuVault is designed for you. It ensures people pick the right items, prevents stock from mysteriously vanishing and even comes with quality control features because, let’s be honest, humans make mistakes. It’s also usually cheaper, which makes it a rare example of something in logistics that won’t make your accountant weep.
