Magento says:
“Multi Store Management has been a hot topic in the eCommerce market and we are proud to feature such functionality as part of Magento’s core product.”

Here is the link to their 45 minute web seminar about Magento Multi Store Management.

I didn’t really have the chance or the patience to go through the 45 minute documentation. Maybe my personal attention span just happens to be real low at the moment. I am unable to compare Magnum Multi Store to Magento Multi Store at this point, other than the fact that our product is priced at $1200, while Magento’s stuff is free. Our support fees are way lower though.

Overall, I find this all to be rather amusing. This is all soo Internet. We come out with something, 5 mins later somebody else jumps on it. Perfect examples are Magnum Multi Store, now Magento copies the Multi Store part and Magnum MVS 8.4 which CRE tried to copy.

But CRE did such a lousy job of integrating MVS into their CRE 6.3 B2B.
It’s a shame that they are actually trying to pass it off as their #1 feature as seen on their price chart for CRE B2B Professional below. How lame is that?

Further note the terminology “Multi Warehouse Shipping” which are 3 words basically copied and pasted from our site. I have yet to come across 1 CRE 6.3 client who is NOT having problems with the MVS module which was integrated into CRE B2B 6.3. All they did was recycle the standard osCommerce 2.2 Multi Vendor Shipping contribution.

We used to charge between $150-$200 for installation of this contribution into any CRE Loaded site. But there were many problems with each installation which forced us overhaul and revamp this MVS module several times until it was 100% fully functional. CRE’s module is nowhere near that right now. They do have the budget to have it revamped but it doesn’t seem to be on their top priority list.
