The 30-second answer

Cin7 is the bigger, more established platform: more than 8,000 customers, over 700 integrations, add-ons for B2B, point of sale and manufacturing, and a standard product sold in tiered plans. Convexity is smaller and younger and works more like a boutique: our founders and engineers set it up with you, adapt it to how you work, and put AI to work on your purchasing. Pick Cin7 for breadth and a proven, standard platform; pick Convexity for an autonomous purchasing manager and a team that builds around your process.

An autonomous purchasing manager, not another tool

Cin7’s ForesightAI add-on also forecasts and can generate purchase orders, so the difference is less about the feature than about fit: our team tunes it with you to your suppliers, budgets and exceptions. Convexity’s inventory optimization works like an autonomous purchasing manager: every week it re-forecasts each SKU from its own sales history, resets reorder points and safety stock, and drafts purchase orders by vendor that respect lead times, minimums and case packs, with the reasoning shown. Your buyer reviews the exceptions and approves; the routine work is already done.

Can Convexity run alongside Cin7?

No. Convexity does not integrate with or run on top of Cin7. It replaces the inventory, order and purchasing work you run in Cin7 today, and QuickBooks Online stays your accounting system.

Send us 12 months of sales and your current stock. On a call, we will walk you through which SKUs are overstocked and which are about to run out.
