Workd vs Cin7

Cin7 (including DEAR) is solid inventory and order management for product businesses. But distribution has specific needs that inventory-first platforms don't prioritize.

Workd is built for distribution from the ground up — with AI that understands how distributors sell, fulfill, and deliver.

Inventory Management vs. Distribution Platform

Cin7 started as inventory management and expanded into order management and B2B commerce. It's good at tracking products, managing warehouses, and connecting to sales channels.

But distribution is more than inventory. It's customer relationships, complex pricing, field sales, delivery logistics, and increasingly, AI-powered automation. Cin7 handles some of this; Workd was built for all of it.

What Distribution Needs That Cin7 Lacks

Voice AI Agents

Cin7 has no voice capabilities. Workd's AI agents can take orders by phone, check inventory, answer customer questions, and make outbound calls — 24/7.

Delivery Route Management

Distribution often means delivery. Cin7 doesn't optimize routes, track drivers, or manage delivery logistics. Workd does.

Field Sales Tools

Outside sales reps need mobile tools built for their workflow. Cin7's mobile is inventory-focused; Workd's is sales-focused.

Customer-Specific Everything

Distribution customers expect their pricing, their terms, their delivery preferences. Workd makes this native; Cin7 makes it configuration.
