The company was founded in Auckland in 2009 and has been part of the UK's Access Group since 2020.

The report card
Best for wholesalers and makers tracking batches
Built in New Zealand and now owned by the Access Group, this is cloud inventory for wholesalers, distributors and light manufacturers: stock across warehouses with batch and serial numbers and landed costs, sales and purchase orders, and assemblies with bills of materials. Lite is $91 a month billed yearly, but it covers one warehouse and 100 sales orders a month, and the extras add up fast.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | For a shop and an online store, Lite does it: $91 a month billed yearly ($99 monthly), or $1,089 a year, with 3 users, 3 integrations and one warehouse. In the middle of this category, but only 100 sales orders a month are included, and 500 more cost $70 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day free trial with every feature and no credit card needed. Enough time to load products and push a few orders through. |
| Features | B | Stock across warehouses with batch and serial tracking and landed costs, quotes to invoices, purchase orders and supplier returns, bills of materials, assemblies and production planning. The whole job, though several warehouses need Core and MRP needs Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Onboarding is a one-off fee of $449 to $5,549, and you'll set up warehouses, products and integrations before it pays off. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and Lightspeed. No desktop app, and the warehouse app is $149 a month on Core, included on Pro. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Unleashed is for
- Great if you're a wholesaler or distributor selling to trade customers
- Handy when you make food, drink or supplements and must track batches
- Good for Xero or QuickBooks Online users who need more than basic stock
Who it is not for
- Tight if you take more than 100 sales orders a month, as 500 more cost $70 a month
- Pricey if you need several warehouses, since Lite covers one and Core is $366 a month billed yearly
- Skip it if you want a cheap start, as onboarding alone is a one-off $449 or more
Good to know
Good for
- Wholesalers and distributors selling to trade customers
- Food, beverage and supplement makers that track batches
- Businesses on Xero or QuickBooks Online needing more than basic stock
Worth knowing
- Every plan includes 100 sales orders a month; more cost $70 a month for 500, $200 for 1,500, $320 for 3,000 or $490 for unlimited.
- Extra users cost $69 a month each ($89 on Pro), and integrations beyond those included cost $39 a month each.
- Lite covers a single warehouse; multi-warehouse management needs Core or Pro.
- Onboarding is a one-off fee of $449, $799 or $5,549, and support plans cost $99 or $239 a month.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Unleashed you could make: inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $1,092 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Xero, QuickBooks Online and Shopify among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Unleashed’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.
