THE ECOSYSTEM ADVANTAGE

Why Hykmah's Ecosystem Matters

The Multi-Product Advantage

Most inventory systems solve one problem. When your business needs job management, B2B ordering, or subscription billing, you're shopping for another vendor - another monthly bill, another login, and manual work to keep everything in sync.

Cin7 offers a B2B portal as a paid add-on on top of their base subscription. Job management requires a separate vendor entirely.

Hykmah is different:

When you subscribe to Stockwise, you're not just getting inventory management. You can add Operon (job management), Orderlink (B2B ordering), or other products to the same subscription — no extra product fees, no new vendor, no re-entering data between systems.

Real-World Example: 5-Person Team

Option 1: Hykmah Professional

Stockwise (3 users included) + Operon (unlimited users): $80 AUD/month

($50 base + 2 extra Stockwise users at $15/mo each)

Total: $80 AUD/month

  • One subscription, one login
  • No duplicate data entry between systems

Estimated Saving: $540/month+ ($6,480/year+)

Option 2: Multiple Vendors

Cin7 Standard: ~$541 AUD/month

B2B Portal Add-on: Contact sales

ServiceM8 (job management): $79 AUD/month

Estimated Total: $620+ AUD/month

  • Re-keying data between systems
  • Two vendor relationships to manage

When to Choose Each Platform

Choose Stockwise If

  • You need 85% cost savings across all team sizes
  • You're budgeting in AUD and want to avoid exchange rate fluctuations
  • You need predictable AUD pricing without hidden integration fees
  • You want 2× the order volume (12,000/year vs 6,000/year on comparable entry tiers)
  • You want B2B portal included in your subscription (Cin7 charges extra)
  • You're a small to mid-market Australian business under $5M revenue
  • You value multi-product platform that grows with your needs

Key Vulnerabilities of Cin7:

  • USD billing only—currency fluctuation risk for Australian businesses

  • Order volume limits by tier—6K, 24K, or 120K per year (must upgrade when exceeded)

  • Only 2 integrations on Standard—multi-channel sellers exceed immediately

  • Heavy add-on model—B2B portal, API access, WMS, forecasting all cost extra

Choose Cin7 If:

  • You're doing $5M+ annual revenue with complex wholesale operations requiring EDI, advanced demand forecasting, and sophisticated WMS
  • You need assembly/light manufacturing capabilities today (Stockwise has BOMs on Enterprise roadmap)
  • You have 20+ team members across warehouse, sales, and operations who all need system access
  • You're comfortable with USD pricing and have budget headroom to absorb potential price increases
  • You value an established platform with proven enterprise-scale reliability over cost savings
  • You need 24/7 support for global operations (Stockwise offers business hours support with 4-hour SLA on Enterprise)
  • You require sophisticated demand forecasting and analytics beyond regression-based methods
  • You're comfortable with order volume tier limits and upgrading when you exceed them

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save by switching from Cin7 to Stockwise?

Annual savings range from $5,892 at 6,000 orders/year to $14,376 at 25,000 orders/year. Stockwise Professional ($50 AUD/month) handles 12,000 transactions per year versus Cin7 Standard ($541 AUD/month converted from $349 USD) which limits you to 6,000 orders per year. That's 2× the order capacity at 91% lower cost.

Does Stockwise charge per order like Cin7?

No. Stockwise uses transaction-based monthly limits (1,000 to 10,000 per month depending on tier) rather than annual order caps. Cin7 limits orders to 6,000, 24,000, or 120,000 per year by tier, requiring tier upgrades when you exceed limits. This makes Stockwise pricing more flexible and predictable for growing businesses.

Is the B2B portal included in Stockwise or is it a paid add-on?

The B2B portal (Orderlink) is included in Stockwise Professional tier at $50/month with no additional product fees. Cin7 offers their B2B portal as a separate paid add-on on top of the base subscription. This represents additional savings of approximately $1,188-2,388 per year compared to Cin7's B2B add-on pricing.

Can I bill in AUD instead of USD?

Yes. All Stockwise pricing is in Australian Dollars (AUD) with no currency fluctuation risk for Australian businesses. Cin7 bills in USD only, which exposes Australian businesses to exchange rate volatility and makes budget forecasting more difficult. This AUD billing provides predictable, transparent pricing for local companies.

What if I need both inventory management AND job management?

Stockwise Professional tier includes access to 2 products. You can combine Stockwise (inventory) with Operon (job management) for a total of $80 AUD/month including 5 users. Cin7 requires a separate vendor like ServiceM8 ($79/month) for job management, bringing total cost to approximately $620+ AUD/month. This saves you $540/month ($6,480/year).

What are the main differences between Stockwise and Cin7?

Key differences:

  • Cost: Stockwise costs 91% less - $50 AUD vs $541 AUD/month at entry level
  • Order Volume: Stockwise offers 2× capacity - 12,000/year vs 6,000/year
  • B2B Portal: Included in Stockwise, extra charge for Cin7
  • Currency: Stockwise bills in AUD, Cin7 USD only
  • Platform: Stockwise is multi-product (inventory + jobs + B2B), Cin7 focuses on inventory only
