Cin7 Omni vs Sentry WMS

Cin7 Omni is inventory and order management software for businesses managing sales across multiple channels. It provides a real-time view of inventory across locations and supply chains, with barcode scanning, stock alerts, purchase orders and sales orders. Purchase orders can sync automatically with linked 3PLs, and 3PL integrations support automated order fulfillment. Native EDI connections support supply-chain and sales-channel workflows. Cin7 connects with Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, QuickBooks, Xero and other platforms, and its app ecosystem includes more than 700 partners. The Omni comparison lists eight users, with more available for purchase, and unlimited inventory locations. Customizable workflows support online, wholesale and retail markets; multi-entity support automates intercompany stock and price adjustments. It runs on web, iOS and Android. A free trial is offered, but there is no free plan. Standard starts at $349 per month, Pro at $599 per month and Advanced at $1,199 per month, excluding taxes. Custom solutions are available for complex operations or needs beyond standard configuration.

Sentry WMS is a free, open-source warehouse management system for e-commerce fulfillment. It covers receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping, and counting, while relying on an existing database or ERP to manage orders, products, or customers. Pick Walk supports batch picking across multiple orders with serpentine walk path optimization. Inventory functions include bin-level cycle counts with variance detection and an administrator approval workflow, along with transfers and adjustments tracked by reason. The connector framework provides a starting structure for ERP, commerce, and other HTTP API connections, but the project does not ship first-party connectors for named systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, Shopify, or BigCommerce. The documented stack includes a React web admin panel, a React Native mobile app, a Flask API, and Docker Compose deployment. Android setup uses a sideloaded APK connected to the operator's API server. Production deployment requires configured secrets; HTTPS requires a reverse proxy in front of the HTTP-only API. CSV or JSON bulk imports are limited to 5,000 records per import. Version 1.7.0 and later are Apache License 2.0; earlier tagged releases remain MIT-licensed.
