Cin7 alternative
Cin7 is a strong inventory and order management system. Miridia, the supply chain and automation platform, covers the same stock and channels, and adds production, demand planning, and an operations agent in one data model.

The short answer
Choose Cin7 if your whole problem is stock across many sales channels, or if your retail customers trade with you over EDI.
Choose Miridia if you also make what you sell, or if you need a demand plan that drives your purchase orders and not only a reorder point.
Miridia also costs less to start: the Starter plan is R3,000 or €150 a month, and Cin7 Core starts at US$349 a month.
Cin7 Core, which was DEAR Inventory, and Cin7 Omni are the largest products in the inventory and order management category. A company that sells through many channels puts Cin7 on its shortlist first, and for good reasons.
Miridia is equal to Cin7 for inventory at each location, purchase orders with receipts, transfers between sites, bills of material, lot and serial tracking, and sync with Shopify, Amazon, and your accounting platform. These are the places where it goes further.
A Miridia work order takes a snapshot of the bill of materials, compares the planned material with the material that was used, and posts the finished goods into stock. BOM revisions carry effectivity dates and scrap factors. You do not buy a manufacturing add-on for this.
Miridia Planner tests each SKU against its own history, and a model must beat a naive benchmark before you can trust it. It measures forecast value added at each layer, runs consensus cycles and price scenarios, and turns the result into purchase and transfer order sheets.
A master business shares its catalogue, suppliers, and prices with its sub-businesses, and write guards protect the shared data. Cin7 gives you more than one location. Miridia also gives you more than one business.
AI Autopilot checks orders, deliveries, and stock on a schedule, and puts each problem it finds into an inbox. The Ask Your Data chat, which answers questions about your own records, is included in every plan.
Every plan includes the full REST API, so you can export each record at any time. The Enterprise plan adds a self-hosted option. Cin7 is available only as a hosted service.
If you need a connector that is useful to other customers, the team builds it at no additional cost. You do not pay a partner for an integration project.
Cin7 is the better choice in these cases.
If one of these is true for you, tell us on the first call. We prefer that you learn it now, and not in the third month.
The two products put the lines in different places, so compare what you get at each price. We show Cin7 in the currency that Cin7 uses, because exchange rates change.

A move from Cin7 is a supported operation, and you can run the two systems side by side until you trust the new one.
On a discovery call we list your channels, locations, bills of material, and accounting link, and we tell you which parts Miridia covers today.
Export your products, customers, suppliers, stock on hand for each location, open purchase orders, and order history. Cin7 can export each of these as a CSV file.
We import your records and your order history, so your first forecast starts from your real demand and not from an empty system. Then we connect your sales channels and your accounting platform.
Miridia can run next to Cin7 while your team checks the numbers. You switch on the day of a stock take, and you stop the Cin7 subscription after that.

Yes, for inventory, orders, purchase orders, transfers, and bills of material. Miridia also adds work orders, demand planning, and an operations agent. Keep your accounting platform, and connect it to Miridia.
Yes. Miridia tracks lots and batches with a lot number and an expiry date, and each lot has its own movement history and file attachments, such as certificates. Serial numbers link each unit that you make to its lot, its work order, and its shipment.

Most companies go live in weeks, not months. The time depends on the number of channels, locations, and bills of material. We give you a plan after the discovery call.
Miridia has no built-in EDI connection today. Ask us about your trading partners on the discovery call. When a connector is useful to other customers, we build it at no additional cost.
