Case Study: Pine Apparel achieves unprecedented profit margins with Cin7

Cin7 + Shopify, Xero & Shipstation help apparel wholesaler Pine Apparel reach unprecedented profit margins

Pine Apparel, an apparel wholesaler, had outgrown its manual inventory and accounting processes, relying on Excel sheets, Google Drive, and rushed stock counts that left the team with little visibility into what was actually on hand. Director of Operations Elise Ellise needed a system that could connect inventory with financials, shipping, and e-commerce, and turned to Cin7 to replace the company’s “fly blind” approach.

Cin7 implemented an integrated inventory management solution tied to Shopify, Xero, and ShipStation, giving Pine Apparel a single source of truth and real-time visibility across the business. With Cin7, Pine Apparel gained accurate inventory data, smoother onboarding, and the confidence to scale; the company achieved its first profitable quarter, increased sales beyond pre-pandemic levels, and accelerated growth despite COVID-19 disruptions.
