Cin7: Zafino jewelry migrates from TradeGecko sunset to Cin7 hub across 9 stores
Nine-store jewelry brand moved off TradeGecko onto Cin7 as the inventory hub across Shopify and stores.
- Task
- replace discontinued TradeGecko/QuickBooks Commerce without losing multichannel ops
- Result
- qualitative — "taken a lot of workload off"; hired staff for day-to-day so founder works on strategy; real-time stock/sales across channels; expanding internationally on Shopify Plus (9 stores); Cin7 as hub with Xero, Shopify, Starshipit, Pinch, Airwallex
- Tools
- Cin7
- Xero
- Shopify Plus
- Starshipit
- Pinch
- Airwallex; SMB Consultants implementation
- Setup
- discovery workshops with SMB Consultants → migrate from TradeGecko → Cin7 as inventory hub → integrate accounting/orders/shipping/payments → use real-time data for forecasting/obsolete stock
Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt
Honest note: This is an ERP-ish migration. Budget implementation help; do not treat it as a weekend DIY.
Recipe
- Inventory your channels (Shopify Plus, retail POS, 3PL) and accounting (Xero).
- Engage Cin7 + an implementation partner; map SKUs, locations, and assemblies before cutover.
- Connect Xero, Shopify, shipping (Starshipit), and payments (Pinch / Airwallex or your stack).
- Run parallel stock counts for one cycle; freeze SKU creates during cutover weekend.
- Train store staff on receiving and transfers; founder steps back once daily ops are staffed.
