## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-01 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, grouped by where you are, since "best" swings hard on your order volume and whether you own the warehouse.
> 
> **If you run your own warehouse and you're a DTC brand (most online stores):**
> 
> 1. **ShipHero** - my default first recommendation. Built for ecommerce rather than retrofitted from industrial WMS, native Shopify app with real-time two-way sync, mobile barcode picking, and multi-warehouse support without enterprise implementation pain. It's the one that consistently shows up as the SMB/mid-market pick and it also offers its own fulfillment network if you later want to outsource.
> 2. **Extensiv (formerly 3PL Central)** - strongest choice if you're multi-channel (Shopify + Amazon + eBay + wholesale) and need one inventory truth across channels and locations. Also the de facto standard if you ever take on fulfilling for other brands.
> 3. **SKUSavvy** - underrated for small-to-mid Shopify stores. Visual bin-level warehouse mapping, genuinely cheap at low volume, and Shopify-native rather than connector-dependent.
> 4. **Logiwa IO** - go here if you're high-volume DTC (thousands of orders/day) or running 3PL-style complexity. API-first, built for wave
