New Plans Take the Guesswork Out of Automating Ecommerce Businesses

Today, we are excited to introduce new performance-driven tech stack plans. The new plans are derived from analyzing the performance of 14,000 ecommerce, product-selling businesses.

Our big data study of 14,000 businesses revealed the benefits and sequence of automating ecommerce businesses in what is best described as a ‘inventory management automation staircase’. The new plans point out the critical Essentials for starting with ecommerce automation and then the step up the staircase to market leading automations.

Any product seller can jump right to the top of the automation staircase or right to the level they want to be by picking the desired level of automation, easily identified as a plan, and asking our experts for coaching and assistance with setup. Our experts help you speed through the setup process, so you don’t have to do it all on your own.

First, we identified the most common patterns of integrations and where product sellers start off with their automations and advance their automations from their starting point.

While many factors contribute to sales and order volume increases, it’s clear that the more levels product sellers go up the inventory automation staircase, the greater their ability to handle the order volume efficiently with best-in-class automations, integrations, and software capabilities.

These new plans are available for all product sellers interested in advancing the success of their business. They are available to anyone eager to try us or to jump in to get started right away.

In addition to studying the performance of our customers, we very carefully researched product selling businesses that were not using Cn7 Orderhive. We found that 53% of the 6,000 businesses we studied were not using even the Level 1 integrations and automations. On average, these product selling businesses with less automation than Level 1 grew by less than 3% over the last year. We highly recommend that if your business hasn’t started using ecommerce automations — please start today. We’ve put exactly what you need into our Essentials plan. It’s the best place to get started now. And, you can move up the automation staircase as fast as you would like to.

No. All businesses that become paying customers before April 17, 2022 may continue to run their business on their existing subscription plans. We want everyone to be successful and to avoid inconveniencing anyone.

We asked Doug LaBahn, our co-collaborator on this project, what inspired this important and detailed program of work. He explained:

“One of the most pressing challenges for small and emerging ecommerce sellers is picking the right apps, integrations, and sales channels for their ambitions and business requirements. There are literally hundreds of app and integration choices and over 1 million different combinations of app stacks that sellers could use. It’s a mind-bending challenge to understand and fantastic for your business if you pick the winning choice out of the million options — and, it’s disastrous and costly, for businesses who make poor choices.”

“As a former owner of a multi-channel pet and novelty ecommerce and B2B product seller and big data geek, I always studied the technology that the highest performing businesses use as compared to other businesses. First at Sage for 5 years, then at Xero for 5 years, and now at Cin7 Orderhive. I’ve had access to the platform performance of millions of businesses to test, refine, and develop clear insight on the best tech stack choices along a maturity curve.”

“With all this knowledge and insight on how high performing business automate and move the inventory automation staircase, we became passionate about making these ‘secrets’ available to everyone and to provide Cin7 Orderhive experts to help our new customers implement these plans so business owners don’t have to figure it out on their own.”

Yes. Any existing customer can move to the new plans to take advantage of the performance-driven designs of these new plans. We’ve enhanced the experience in our solution to help you easily adjust your account settings.

No. The old plans are no longer available.
