Migrate from Cin7
Move from Cin7 to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off Cin7 should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your retail POS data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while Cin7 keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
Cin7 (Core or Omni) is a genuinely capable inventory hub and light ERP — multi-location stock, purchase orders, bills of materials and assemblies, a B2B portal, and 3PL/EDI and sales-channel connections that few POS tools match. Its structural limit is that it's an inventory system rather than a full ledger: it typically syncs stock and invoices out to a separate accounting package, so you run and reconcile two systems. Teams migrate to PeakSpitz to bring that inventory depth and real accounting with VAT into one platform, so stock movements post straight to the books instead of syncing across the gap.
The safe way to leave Cin7
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of Cin7 that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull products, stock, customers and sales history out of Cin7 in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your retail POS data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line Cin7 up against PeakSpitz: products, stock, customers and sales history become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside Cin7 is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what Cin7 shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep Cin7 live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your Cin7 export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving Cin7
- ⚠
With stock spread across branches, 3PL and in-transit purchase orders, true on-hand is best re-established by counting each location at cutover. Import counted quantities, not Cin7's inherited ledger figure.
- ⚠
Sales-channel, marketplace, 3PL and EDI connections are integrations, not data — each is re-authorised and re-mapped on the new system. Plan this as its own workstream, separate from the data import.
- ⚠
Bills of materials and assemblies are Cin7's deepest structure. They're a mapping decision, re-expressed as configuration and validated with a test build before cutover, rather than lifted wholesale.
- ⚠
Accounting has usually lived in a separate synced ledger. Opening balances, tax settings and reconciliation are set up fresh in PeakSpitz's built-in accounting — a configuration step, not a file transfer.
Common questions about leaving Cin7
Cin7 syncs our stock and invoices to a separate accounting system. Does PeakSpitz work that way?
Cin7's inventory engine is genuinely strong, and the accounting sync is how it's designed. PeakSpitz keeps inventory and real accounting with VAT in one platform, so stock movements post straight to the books — and Spitz can flag the reorder or the exception and act the moment you approve — instead of reconciling two systems.
We run bills of materials and assemblies in Cin7. Will those transfer?
Credit where due — Cin7's assembly and production depth is a real strength. Finished-good and kit structures are re-expressed as configuration rather than lifted as data, and it's worth a test build before cutover; scope any complex manufacturing first.
What about our sales-channel, marketplace and 3PL/EDI connections?
Those are integrations, not records, so they're re-established on the new system via the built-in storefront and the open REST API and webhooks. Cin7's connector breadth is a real advantage; plan time to re-authorise each link.
