Descartes Sellercloud vs EMERGE

Descartes Sellercloud is an ecommerce operations platform covering catalog, orders, inventory, warehouse work, shipping, purchasing, reporting, accounting and returns. Businesses can manage listings, orders, inventory and fulfillment across sales channels from one interface, with multi-warehouse support, order routing, picking and packing, shipment handoff and returns workflows. Sellercloud lists more than 350 built-in integrations, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify and BigCommerce, and says customers can use all 50-plus sales-channel integrations and add channels as desired. Inventory synchronizes across warehouses and channels in real time. Predictive purchasing uses sales history to recommend when, what and how much to order. Warehouse and shipping tools cover picking, packing, label printing and shipping rules; automation rules and RESTful APIs with thousands of endpoints are also available. Employee access can be limited by company, webpage, function, role and purchasing-cost visibility, and two-factor authentication is mandatory for Client Admin and Employee accounts. The listed subscription is $1,349 a year, based on order volume and add-ons.

EMERGE is a cloud-based inventory and order management platform for wholesale, distribution, manufacturing and import-export businesses. It brings together sales, purchasing, inventory, production, shipping and customer management. Stock tools include real-time tracking, multiple locations, variants, serial numbers, batches, barcodes and simple production. Import-export capabilities include multiple currencies, multilingual documents, custom packing lists and landed cost calculation. Customers can browse and order through EMERGE Cart, a B2B ecommerce platform. The service integrates with Stripe for invoice export, payment links and invoice-status import, and with Xero for accounting. Its mobile version provides access to product, stock and order information. The Free Forever plan costs nothing for one user and is limited to four quotations, sales and purchases a month. Full-feature plans are listed at $34.90 a month billed annually, $38.90 a month billed every six months, $44.90 a month billed every three months, and $49.90 a month billed month-to-month. The listed Monthly, Quarterly, Half-Yearly and Yearly plans also describe unlimited orders and products, but do not state prices. EMERGE is web-based and sold by user rather than by feature.
