Black Friday: is there a Orderwise sale?
Orderwise report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for stock, warehouse and orders in one UK system
Orderwise combines stock control, warehouse management, multichannel orders and accounts for wholesalers, distributors and retailers. It is sold by demo and quote, the web client is only in the cloud version, and for a small shop it is more than a stock tracker.
Who Orderwise is for
- Fits if you run a mid-sized wholesale or distribution business and want stock, warehouse and accounts together
- Makes sense if you already sell on several channels and need orders in one place
Who Orderwise is not for
- Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
- Not for you if you only need a simple stock count, because this is a full ERP and warehouse system
- Watch out: the web client is part of the cloud offer only
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is shown, only demos
Why Orderwise gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published and everything is quoted, so there is no figure to set against this category's $91 middle price.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial; it is sold by demo and quote.
- BFeaturesStock control, traceability, multichannel selling, warehouse management and purchase orders in one system. The listing shows no gap in the core work, though it is a full ERP.
- CEase of useA full ERP and warehouse system takes a rollout, and no store rating is on record.
- CPlatforms and integrationsThe web client is described as exclusive to Orderwise Cloud, and the pages we read name no integrations.

Keep Orderwise, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of Orderwise for yourself: inventory and reports.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Orderwise’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Worth knowing
