SkuVault was acquired by Linnworks in August 2022 and rebranded SkuVault Core. Pricing is not published publicly.

Pricing you can read.

Visit SkuVault’s pricing page and you’ll find a button that opens a sales form rather than a price. Their pricing is described as flexible — based on order volume, custom requirements, and additional modules.

SKU Central publishes its pricing: Essentials $399/mo, Growth $599/mo, Pro $999/mo, Enterprise custom. Every plan includes onboarding and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

If a vendor won’t quote a price without first qualifying your budget, that’s information about how they price.

Software you'd actually want to use.

SkuVault’s interface dates from a different era of warehouse software. SKU Central uses a modern design system — tasks are obvious, and the screen moves the way the warehouse actually moves.

This isn’t an aesthetic point. Slow UI is slow operators. A picker saving three seconds per task across 800 picks a day adds up to real hours.

A visualizer SkuVault doesn't have.

SkuVault manages bins and zones through configuration screens. SKU Central gives you a drag-and-drop view of your physical warehouse — every shelf, every bin, every aisle, with route paths drawn over the top.

For warehouses that change layout regularly (most do), the difference is hours per reorganization versus minutes.

Switching from SkuVault takes about a week.

Bring your SKU list, inventory levels, bin maps, kits, and supplier list over via guided import — free as part of every plan.

We run SKU Central in parallel with SkuVault for the first 5–7 days so you can validate before cutting over. If your SkuVault contract is up for renewal, that’s the cheapest week to switch.
