In today’s fast-paced Australian B2B environment, particularly in sectors like furnishing, wholesale distribution, and inventory-intensive businesses, choosing the right ERP and warehouse management software can make or break operational efficiency. With rising customer expectations, fragmented software landscapes, and the need for real-time visibility, businesses are seeking systems that are not only powerful—but purpose-built.
Enter Inclusive Cloud, a SaaS ERP + WMS platform originally crafted for fabric and home furnishing businesses but now expanding across Australia, UAE, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. While Australia is home to several established ERP and warehouse software providers like Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Systems), Unleashed, Fishbowl, and MYOB Advanced, Inclusive Cloud offers a fresh, practical alternative tailored for inventory-heavy, order-intensive industries.
1. Understanding the Competition: Top Australian ERP & WMS Solutions
Australia's ERP landscape is mature, with several local and global solutions serving SMEs. Here are some of the most popular:
Cin7 Core (DEAR Systems): Cloud-based ERP known for strong inventory and manufacturing features.
Unleashed Software: A pure inventory management software for manufacturers and wholesalers.
Fishbowl Inventory: An ERP system with QuickBooks integration ideal for inventory control.
MYOB Advanced: An all-in-one ERP with strong accounting and payroll capabilities.

Needs real-time sync between warehouse and sales teams
Wants to grow from legacy tools like Tally, Busy, or Excel
Operates in furnishing, fashion, or distribution-heavy segments...then Inclusive Cloud is likely your best fit.
6. Final Thoughts + Call to Action
