ShopFlow
Replace Your ERP. Keep the Money.
Why pay £20k-£50k/year for NetSuite, Brightpearl, or Dynamics NAV when ShopFlow does it all—inventory, orders, returns, fulfillment—at a fraction of the cost?
Trusted by leading retailers:
Stop Paying Enterprise Prices for Standard Features
Most Shopify retailers don't need the complexity (or cost) of NetSuite, Brightpearl, or Dynamics NAV. ShopFlow gives you everything you actually use—inventory management, order processing, returns handling, and fulfillment—without the bloated licensing fees.
- No per-user licensing fees that scale unpredictably
- No expensive annual renewals or forced upgrades
- No consultants charging £1,200/day for basic changes
- No offshore support queues—direct access to our UK team
You're Overpaying for Your ERP
Most retailers use about 20% of their ERP's functionality but pay for 100% of it.
You're paying for global tax compliance you don't need. Multi-entity consolidation you'll never use. Industry-specific modules gathering dust.
Meanwhile, your actual needs are straightforward: manage inventory, process orders, handle returns, ship products.
ShopFlow does exactly that. Nothing more. Nothing less. At a price that makes sense.
