> ## Best order management systems for online stores
> 
> Ordered roughly by how often they're the right answer, with the caveat that OMS choice is mostly a function of your size and channel mix - there is no single winner.
> 
> **1. Shopify (built-in) / Shopify Plus** - If you're already on Shopify, start here before buying anything. Basic order management ships with every plan; multi-location routing and distributed order management require Plus, which runs ~$2,000+/month. The reason to lead with this: most stores under ~$5M buy a separate OMS they didn't need.

> 
> **2. Brightpearl by Sage** - The default pick for mid-market retail brands, roughly $5M+ revenue across multiple channels, that have outgrown their cart's native tools. Retail-specific workflows and inventory planning rather than a generic ERP. Starts around $500+/month with custom quotes by order volume.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
