Case Study: Alton Goods achieves smarter inventory management with Cin7 Core

Why Cin7 Core is a great fit for a great outdoors business

Alton Goods, an Australian e-commerce business selling hiking and camping gear, struggled with rapid growth during COVID-19 as stock shortages, shipping delays, and manual spreadsheet-based inventory tracking led to mis-ships and stock-outs. The team needed a better way to manage inventory and reporting, and they turned to Cin7 Core to replace disconnected, error-prone processes.

Cin7 implemented Cin7 Core for real-time inventory management, Shopify syncing, and bill of materials tracking, later optimized with help from Bean Ninjas on the accounting side. The result was major time savings, more accurate reporting, and far better decision-making: Sam said the software paid for itself within two months, cut tasks that used to take days down to minutes, and helped Alton Goods scale from roughly 200-300 orders a month to 800-900 orders within six months, while eliminating mis-ships and stock-outs.
