Why Growmax ARC Wins for B2B Distribution
B2B Commerce, Not Just Inventory
Cin7 is an inventory management system that added a basic B2B portal. ARC is a purpose-built B2B commerce platform with customer-specific pricing, quote workflows, partner portals, and field sales tools. Commerce is the core, not an afterthought.
Offline Field Sales App
Cin7 has no mobile app for field sales reps. ARC provides native iOS/Android apps with offline ordering, GPS visit logging, customer-specific catalogs, and route planning — essential for distributors with road warriors.
Native Zoho & SAP Integration
Cin7 integrates well with Shopify and WooCommerce (DTC channels) but has no Zoho or SAP connectors. ARC connects natively to Zoho Inventory, SAP, and QuickBooks — the ERPs distributors actually use.
Partner Commerce Portal
ARC includes a full partner portal for dealers and resellers to self-serve: place orders, track shipments, view pricing, and manage their accounts. Cin7 has no partner or channel management capabilities.
Quote-to-Order Workflow
Industrial distributors live on quotes. ARC supports the full quotation lifecycle with approval routing, margin calculations, and one-click conversion to orders. Cin7 handles direct ordering only.
Lower Cost for B2B Commerce
Cin7 starts at $349/mo and focuses on inventory. ARC starts at $199/mo and delivers a complete B2B commerce experience. You get more B2B-specific functionality at a lower price point.
