Hey folks,
We run a mid-size B2B supply business and managing stock used to be our biggest headache — missed expiry dates, stockouts, and manual audit errors. In early 2025, we decided to test five different inventory management tools to finally find one that could grow with us.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what we tried:
✅ NetSuite ERP – Powerful but too complex and overkill for our size.
✅ Zoho Inventory – Clean interface and affordable, but lacked mobile flexibility.
✅ copyright Commerce – Great for finance teams, but we needed more stock audit focus.
✅ Cin7 – Loved the omnichannel features, but it required a long onboarding process.
✅ Stockount – Surprisingly effective for mobile-first audits, expiry tracking, and field-level accuracy.
We ended up choosing Stockount for one simple reason: our field team could do inventory audits from their phones—real-time, barcode-based, with expiry and low-stock alerts. No more Excel headaches. Plus, they offered a 15-day free trial with full access (no credit card required), which helped us test everything without risk.
I wrote a full breakdown of all 5 tools and what to look for in inventory software in 2025:
