From SMBs to billion-dollar brands…

Retail, e-commerce, DTC, wholesale and manufacturing brands small and large rely on Inventory Planner

"I tell other merchants that they can’t afford not to have Inventory Planner. Say you hold $1 million in inventory and, at a very conservative estimate, Inventory Planner improves your inventory ordering and investments by 10% a year (for us, it’s actually higher than 10%). That would result in a saving of $100,000 a year."
