Overview
SOS Inventory is a cloud inventory and order management application designed around QuickBooks Online, positioned for small distributors, manufacturers and service companies that have outgrown QuickBooks’ own inventory features. Its pricing page lists three plans with published monthly and annual prices[16].
Companion, the entry plan, includes two users and covers sales orders, assemblies and the QuickBooks integration. Plus, which the vendor labels most popular, adds unlimited locations, serial and lot tracking and barcoding with three users. Pro, with five users, adds job costing, advanced manufacturing and a customer portal[16]. Annual billing is priced as two months free compared with paying monthly[16].
The limitation is the narrow ecosystem: SOS is most useful to companies already committed to QuickBooks Online, and its feature list is shallower than Fishbowl’s or Cin7’s on multichannel e-commerce. The pricing page is also inconsistent on extra users, showing US$30 per user per month on the plan cards and US$25 in the FAQ[16], so buyers should confirm the current rate. A 14-day free trial is offered[16].
