Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Fishbowl Inventory: Inventory management software popular with manufacturers and SMBs using QuickBooks, Xero, or other accounting platforms. Comparable to Cloud Inventory's Manufacturing Materials use case for small-to-mid manufacturing shops, with a much narrower technical scope.
• Cin7: Cloud inventory and order management platform for SMB and mid-market product-based businesses. Overlaps with Cloud Inventory on multi-channel inventory visibility and ERP integration, though Cin7 serves smaller customers without Cloud Inventory's field/manufacturing focus.
• Acumatica (Warehouse / Inventory module): Cloud ERP with native manufacturing, distribution, and inventory management for mid-market. Comparable to Cloud Inventory on mobile ERP-integrated inventory execution but bundled into a broader ERP suite, competing on TCO versus best-of-breed execution.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud: Oracle's native cloud WMS integrated with Oracle Fusion ERP and NetSuite. Directly overlaps with Cloud Inventory's Oracle Fusion / NetSuite execution-layer positioning; the Oracle roadmap determines how much execution-leakage remains for third-party overlays.
• ServiceNow Field Service Management: Enterprise platform extending into field inventory, parts management, and field operations for telco/utilities/construction. Competes with Cloud Inventory's Field Inventory™ use case (tools, parts, assets) for enterprise customers already standardized on ServiceNow.
• SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM): SAP's native WMS and warehouse execution offering tightly integrated with S/4HANA. Cloud Inventory is positioned as a complementary mobile-first execution layer for SAP, but SAP EWM is the alternative path customers could choose when they need full WMS functionality.

Direct peers

• Körber (including HighJump / Körber WMS): Global provider of supply chain execution software including warehouse management, with a focus on mid-market and enterprise customers. Direct overlap with Cloud Inventory's mobile-first, ERP-integrated warehouse execution and field inventory scenarios.
• Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software): Major provider of supply chain and warehouse management solutions including WMS, labor management, and transportation. Competes with Cloud Inventory in mobile warehouse execution and inventory visibility, particularly for large enterprises with complex distribution operations.
• Manhattan Associates: Leading provider of supply chain, warehouse, and inventory management software for enterprise retailers, manufacturers, and distributors. Directly competes with Cloud Inventory in warehouse execution and inventory visibility for large enterprises, though Manhattan focuses on full WMS replatforming versus Cloud Inventory's ERP-overlay approach.
• Logiwa: Cloud-native WMS and order fulfillment platform built for high-volume DTC and B2B operations. Directly comparable cloud-first, mobile-enabled inventory execution targeting enterprises that want SaaS agility, similar to Cloud Inventory's positioning but skewed to fulfillment-heavy merchants.
