## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest first question is whether you actually need a WMS or just better inventory software - a real WMS earns its keep once you have staff picking with scanners in your own warehouse. Here's who I'd name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking:
> 
> **1. ShipHero** - My default recommendation for DTC brands running their own warehouse in the 500-5,000 orders/day range. It was built for ecommerce fulfillment rather than adapted to it, the Shopify connection is one-click with real-time order/inventory/tracking sync, and it covers pick, pack, ship, and returns without a six-month implementation. It also has a 3PL-facing version if you ever outsource.
> 
> **2. ShipBob** - Best if you're undecided between outsourcing and doing it yourself. They run a fulfillment network *and* license their WMS to brands keeping their own warehouse, so you can start in their network and bring it in-house (or split) without changing vendors. Rare optionality in this category.
> 
> **3. Cin7** - The value pick, around $349/mo for 5 users. Genuinely good for small-to-mid brands and B2B/wholesale hybrids. Caveat: it's really inventory-and-ops software with warehouse features, and pure ecommerce sellers often find
