Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up.\n\n**1. Cin7 (Core/Omni)** - My default first recommendation for small-to-mid wholesalers (say, up to ~$50M revenue). Built explicitly for wholesalers, product brands, and light manufacturers: multi-warehouse, bin/batch tracking, B2B portal, EDI, and ~700 integrations so it plays nice with Shopify/Amazon/QuickBooks/Xero. Strongest option if you sell wholesale *and* direct-to-consumer. Rated ~4.3/5. ([Qoblex comparison](https://qoblex.com/blog/cin7-vs-fishbowl-which-inventory-management-software-is-right-for-your-business-in-2026/))\n\n**2. Fishbowl** - The one I'd name immediately if you're staying on QuickBooks. It's QuickBooks-first by design, so you get real warehouse functionality (barcoding, pick/pack/ship, multi-location, MRP if you do any assembly) without ripping out your accounting. Also available perpetual-license, which some owners prefer over endless subscription.
