Whether you’re selling million-dollar diamonds or affordable, high-volume costume jewelry, buying the right inventory, at the right time, is the secret to healthy cash flow.

Features for jewelry brands

Forecast accurately, buy confidently

Know exactly how much you’ll sell (right down to the last earring) so you can make informed purchasing decisions. Inventory Planner factors in fluctuations like holiday seasons, flash sales, YoY sales shifts for ultimate accuracy. It even reveals key details like how much you’ll lose if you delay ordering.

Customized for retail and wholesale items

Inventory Planner separates retail and wholesale goods and uses separate forecasting models, so you get buying recommendations that you can rely on (and you never overstock or run out of stock again!).

Release cash from overstocked items

When you’re dealing in gemstones and gold, the value of your inventory is higher than most – so you’re more at risk of tying up cash in slow-moving inventory, which stops you investing in other things. Inventory Planner shows you which items to liquidate first to release cash.

SKU-level inventory insights

Inventory Planner makes it simple to reorder multiple variants across hundreds or thousands of SKUs. It forecasts sales and provides purchasing recommendations at variant level, saving you hours on tedious, error-prone calculations.

Bundle and assembling made simple

Forecast demand by bundle and assembly and get purchasing recommendations for each component, so you know exactly what to buy (and you can stop overbuying some components and underbuying others, which messes up your cash flow).

Forecast for multiple warehouses

Adjust stock coverage days and lead times at every level, from SKU to supplier, so you can handle fast and slow-moving items differently and keep cash flow healthy (and reduce safety stock).

Actionable inventory insights

Access 200+ meaningful metrics that help you make cash-boosting decisions. Integrate with Google Analytics to analyze your inventory performance alongside marketing metrics.

Plan your purchasing budgets

Properly plan how much you’ll invest in jewelry inventory with Inventory Planner’s Open-to-Buy (OTB) feature. Plan your buying budgets by month or retail weeks based on metrics like previous years’ revenue, expected margins and even units.

Buy new styles with confidence

Reduce the risk of selling new products. ‘Borrow’ sales data from similar products as a reference to predict future demand and get buying recommendations for every variant (including size, color, material).

"We have more than 20,000 SKUs, with up to 5,000 new products added each year, so staying on top of our inventory has previously been a challenge – and overselling was an easy mistake to make. Inventory Planner has changed all that."

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is Inventory Planner for?

Inventory Planner is the market-leading inventory planning software that is designed to help retailers, e-commerce brands, wholesalers and manufacturing merchants to make data-driven, profit-boosting inventory purchasing decisions based on reliable customer demand predictions, with different supply patterns factored in.

We support 2,600+ worldwide brands from startups to billion-dollar companies in every industry imaginable – from jewelry and fashion to FMCG.

If your business holds inventory in your own warehouses, brick and mortar stores, or if you use Amazon FBA or 3PLs, and you want to reduce your excess inventory or safety stock ratio while keeping stockout risk low, Inventory Planner is for you.

2. Do I still need Inventory Planner if I already have an Inventory Management System (IMS)?

Short answer: yes! Longer answer: Inventory Management Systems are useful for tracking goods, but they don’t help you forecast demand and plan your inventory purchasing, especially when market trends are rapidly changing and consumer demand is unpredictable. Inventory Planner does.

In a nutshell, if you’re using an IMS, but still experiencing out of stock or excess stock issues, you should try Inventory Planner.

To learn more about the difference between an IMS and Inventory Planner, and pick the right system for your business, take a look at this guide.

3. Should I book a demo or start a 14-day free trial?

A virtual demo with one of our pros is the best and fastest way to see exactly how Inventory Planner will work specifically for your businesses, without needing to connect and configure your data yourself.

However, we understand you might prefer to dive straight in and explore for yourself (especially if you’re a demand forecasting or inventory planning specialist) so we also offer a 14-day free trial.

4. How is Inventory Planner different from other providers?

We’re proud to stand out from the crowd in a number of ways, including…
