The inRiver alternative without the multi-month rollout
inRiver publishes no prices for its four plans, and its own implementation guide puts a typical rollout at three to six months. Automated Commerce publishes every price, offers a free trial, and gets a Shopify catalog live the same day, with two-way sync, product photography, and 3D. inRiver remains a strong fit for manufacturers with complex B2B product data and bundles.

Automated Commerce or inRiver: which fits your team?
Choose Automated Commerce if
- You want your catalog live the same day, not after a three-to-six-month implementation.
- You want to see pricing up front and try it on your own catalog first.
- You sell mainly on Shopify and want products, variants, and metafields synced both ways.
- You need product photography and 3D generated in the same platform as your product data.
- You run a retail catalog with a lean team, not a PIM program with integrators.
Choose inRiver if
- You manufacture or distribute complex B2B products with deep hierarchies, product relations, and bundles.
- You need digital shelf analytics across retailers and marketplaces.
- You connect ERPs such as SAP S/4HANA and have the time and team for a structured implementation.
- You need very broad marketplace distribution through inRiver's ChannelEngine partnership.

Bra verktyg som det här gör att folk faktiskt vill arbeta med det. Medarbetarna är entusiastiska och vi får in verkliga resultat. Mycket nöjda med samarbetet.
Jos de Smit
CCO och ägare, De Eekhoorn
Automated Commerce gjorde det möjligt för oss att växa butiken samtidigt som vi faktiskt minskade personalstyrkan. Vi producerar nu bättre innehåll, mer konsekvent, på en bråkdel av tiden.

Enbart AI Studio-funktionen är värd prenumerationen. Vi har skapat professionella produktbilder utan att behöva anlita fotografer eller designers.
Xavier Smeets
VD, PL Line
Vi fick otroligt bra hjälp av teamet, allt sattes upp snabbt och ordentligt. Genom plattformen har vi sparat enormt mycket tid och kostnader!

Med Automated Commerce skapar vi högkvalitativ modefotografi och ökar enkelt vår trafik genom att förbättra produktdata i bulk med deras AI-agent.

Grundare, Son of John
Jag använder Automated Commerce främst för att skapa och hantera mina produktannonser, och det har gjort hela processen mycket enklare för mig. Det jag gillar mest är att jag kan redigera produkter och bilder i bulk, istället för att gå igenom varje annons en och en. Detta sparar mig mycket tid, särskilt när jag behöver uppdatera titlar, beskrivningar, priser eller produktbilder för flera artiklar.

Grundare, Luvre Fashion
Den här appen är en total gamechanger! Jag kan nu enkelt generera mina produktbilder medan jag jobbar på distans. Servicen är utmärkt och teamet är otroligt hjälpsamt och lyhört. Rekommenderas varmt!
J. Elia
Grundare, Old Threads
Vi började med Automated Commerce för att göra det enklare att hantera översättningar och produkter, men appen har så mycket mer att erbjuda. Dedikerade agenter för marknadsplatser, till exempel. Teamet är verkligen hjälpsamt och svarar snabbt på alla frågor.
