KHAOS CONTROL VS LINNWORKS
Brilliant at moving orders. Less interested in the rest of your business.
Linnworks routes multichannel orders and syncs stock. That is a real job, done well. But there is no CRM, no accounting and no full warehouse without a paid add-on – which is where a single ERP starts to pay for itself.
WHERE THE DIFFERENCE BITES
No native, dedicated CRM – so customers and complaints live elsewhere.
Advanced WMS is a paid add-on called “Enhanced Warehouse”.
No native accounting module at all.

NO SURPRISES
When Linnworks is the better buy
We would rather lose the sale than sell you more system than you need. If this sounds like your business, we will say so on the call.
Marketplace listing, order routing and courier volume are the core problem.
You already run a CRM and a finance system you have no intention of replacing.
We use the most advanced technology in the industry. It’s called the truth.
