Lecxa vs Cin7 Core
Lecxa and Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Systems) both manage inventory, purchasing and order fulfilment for product businesses, and both integrate with Shopify and Xero. The practical difference is scope and weight: Cin7 Core is a broad platform aimed at established product businesses with complex requirements, while Lecxa is deliberately lighter, built for small teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and want to be operational in days, not months.
Who Lecxa is for
Small e-commerce businesses selling D2C and wholesale, typically teams under 20 people, that want stock, orders and fulfilment managed in one place without an enterprise implementation project.
Who Cin7 Core is for
Established product businesses with complex, multi-channel operations that need a very broad feature surface (extensive third-party integrations, B2B portals, advanced manufacturing) and have the time and budget for a heavier implementation.

Where Lecxa is stronger
- Much faster to implement. AI CSV import maps your spreadsheets automatically, so small teams are live in days.
- An interface built around operator speed: bulk actions, one-click dispatch, quick add, copy-paste to Excel.
- Australian company with local support and AUD pricing that excludes surprises.
- Monthly plans with no lock-in contract, so you're never stuck in an annual commitment.
Where Cin7 Core is stronger
- Broader integration ecosystem, including EDI, 3PL and marketplace connections beyond Shopify and Xero.
- Deeper manufacturing functionality for complex production workflows.
- More established platform with a longer track record and larger partner network.
- Better suited to businesses that have already outgrown lightweight tooling.
When Lecxa may not be the best option
- You need EDI connections to major retailers or a built-in B2B ordering portal today.
- Your manufacturing involves multi-stage production runs, work centres or shop-floor scheduling.
- You need integrations beyond Shopify, Xero and the Lecxa API without custom development.
