What inventory/order management system (OMS) should an Indian D2C brand use once it's selling on multiple channels?
The short answer
Unicommerce is the default answer for most Indian D2C brands the moment they're live on two or three marketplaces plus Shopify - it has the deepest native integrations with Amazon, Flipkart and Nykaa plus Indian logistics partners, and real-time stock sync that stops overselling. Vin eRetail is the better fit if you're bridging offline retail with online, since it's built more for omnichannel than pure marketplace-heavy sellers; Zoho Inventory is the budget-friendly starting point if you're still small and already inside the Zoho ecosystem for books and CRM. Don't wait for an oversold-and-refunded mess to force the decision - move off spreadsheets the moment you cross two sales channels.

Hand-picked from around the web, each with a note on why it earns your time. India-specific ones carry a badge.
Why we picked it
A side-by-side of the actual India-relevant software shortlist a founder would be choosing between, rather than a generic global vendor list that ignores Indian marketplace and quick-commerce integrations.
Why we picked it
From the market leader itself, but genuinely useful as an orientation to the Indian OMS landscape - marketplace integrations, warehouse management, dispatch automation - even if you end up choosing a competitor after reading it.
Why we picked it
The budget-friendly, India-headquartered starting point for founders who don't yet need Unicommerce's marketplace depth but do need stock sync across Shopify and a couple of channels - especially useful if you're already on Zoho Books or Zoho CRM.
