## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank them, roughly by the size of store they fit:
> 
> **1. Shopify's built-in order management** - If you're already on Shopify, start here before buying anything. Order routing, multi-location inventory, partial fulfillments, and (with Shopify Fulfillment Network / Markets) decent cross-border handling are all included. Most stores under ~1,000 orders/month don't need a separate OMS at all, and bolting one on early just adds a sync layer that can break. Rated 9.4/10 in comparisons but only really shines for Shopify-native merchants.
> 
> **2. Linnworks** - My default pick if your problem is *channel sprawl*. 100+ marketplace and channel integrations, automatic order download, and rule-based routing/fulfillment. If you're selling on Amazon + eBay + Shopify + Walmart + TikTok Shop simultaneously and drowning in oversells, this is the one. Also strongest on stock forecasting in this tier.
> 
> **3. Cin7 (Core or Omni)** - Best if your problem is *inventory accuracy* rather than channel count. Core suits brands doing light manufacturing, kitting, or bundles; Omni is the pick for wholesale/B2B alongside DTC. Strong 3PL and warehouse integrations.
> 
> **4. Brightpearl (by Sage
