Shopify's native order management (+ Shopify Flow)** - If you're already on Shopify, start here before buying anything. Native order routing, inventory locations, and Flow automation cover most stores doing under ~1,000 orders/month. Shopify also pushes a genuine omnichannel OMS at the enterprise tier. The cheapest good answer is often \"don't buy an OMS yet.\"\n\n**2. Extensiv Order Manager (formerly Skubana)** - The default pick for high-volume DTC brands selling on 3+ channels. Its \"Orderbots\" rules engine handles routing, tagging, and dispatch automation, and it's built to sit on top of Shopify plus Amazon plus 3PLs. This is where most scaling brands land.\n\n**3. Linnworks** - Strongest marketplace coverage (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy) with solid listing and stock sync. Best if marketplaces are the bulk of your revenue rather than your own site. Historically strong in the UK/EU.\n\n**4. Cin7 (Core or Omni)** - Inventory-first OMS with good B2B/wholesale support, bills of materials, and multi-warehouse. Good when you hold real stock and sell both retail and wholesale.\n\n**5. Brightpearl (by Sage)** - Retail-focused ERP-lite: orde", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
