Cin7 Inc is a global Software as a service (SaaS) company providing cloud-based inventory management software solutions to small and medium sized businesses.

History edit

Cin7, with roots in New Zealand, was founded by Danny Ing, who, as of 2023, holds the position of Chief Innovation Officer. This company operates in the e-commerce and omni-channel selling sectors, serving a client base of over 8,500 product sellers worldwide. Its main office is located in Auckland, New Zealand, and it has expanded to have offices in countries including the United States and the United Kingdom.

The company, initially called Datum Connect from 2012 to 2018, focused on creating customized eCommerce websites in New Zealand. The name "Cin7" is a shortened form of "Connected Inventory" and is inspired by seven commerce-related predictions at the time of its renaming.

In 2012, DEAR Systems, which later became known as Cin7 Core, was launched. This venture provided cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions aimed at helping small businesses manage their accounting and inventory needs. DEAR Systems began as an Inventory Management ADD-On for Xero and Quickbooks Online, targeting small and medium-sized businesses seeking to move from traditional accounting software to cloud-based platforms.

In 2019, Cin7 received a private equity investment from Rubicon Technology Partners, enabling the company to expand internationally and establish an office in Denver, Colorado. Subsequently, in February 2021, Cin7 acquired DEAR Systems and Orderhive, enhancing its portfolio and offerings. Since 2023, Cin7 comprises two distinct product lines: Cin7 Core and Cin7 Omni.
