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. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published and everything is quoted, so there is no figure to set against this category's $91 middle price. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial; it is sold by demo and quote. - **Features: B.** Stock control, traceability, multichannel selling, warehouse management and purchase orders in one system.
