Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Extensiv

  • Sold as separate products, including 3PL Warehouse Manager, Billing Manager, Integration Manager and the Small Parcel Suite, rather than one system
  • Built for third-party logistics providers rather than brands running their own warehouse
  • Pricing is not published

Brightpearl

  • No pricing is published, and every quote is described as a bespoke setup
  • Cost is driven by business size rather than by a stated unit, so nothing can be estimated before contacting sales
  • The vendor frames cost as a percentage of revenue, which means the bill grows with turnover rather than with usage
