Automate your demand forecasting and inventory purchasing

Free yourself from time-consuming, error-prone spreadsheet calculations with Inventory Planner.

With 10+ years experience powering 2,600+ retail brands, Inventory Planner is the market-leading inventory planning tool that always offers reliable demand forecasts and inventory purchasing recommendations you can count on.

Why Inventory Planner is better than spreadsheet-based inventory planning

Reliable forecasting - even when markets fluctuate

Forecasts are updated constantly, factoring in seasonality, marketing, abnormal sales spikes and customer demand shifts for ultimate accuracy.

Faster, smarter inventory purchasing

Get automated SKU-level buying recommendations that are easy for your whole team to understand. No more over (or under) ordering!

Best-in-class overstock report

Insights you won’t get anywhere else that enable you to liquidate excess inventory without having stockouts, like last sold date, overstock units and overstock costs.

Multi-location inventory plannin

Get reliable inventory purchasing and warehouse transfer recommendations based on up-to-date forecasts, for each of your locations including your physical stores, warehouses, FBAs and 3PLs.

Simple, powerful reports

We turn your complex, siloed inventory and sales data into 200+ meaningful and intuitive metrics (from top level detail to granular SKU-by-SKU analysis).

Easy planning for new products

Inventory Planner ‘borrows’ sales data from similar products to predict demand for new items (including size, color, fabric and pattern), slashing the risk of over or under ordering.

Bundle, assembly inventory planning

Inventory Planner breaks forecasts down to component level and tells you how much inventory of each component is needed, plus when to order it.

Save time creating POs

Place purchase orders in a pinch, directly from your buying recommendations. Pre-set supplier info (currency, minimum order quantity, payment terms) to be automatically applied.

Optimize shipping + storage costs

Scale your purchase order based on CBM or weight to max out shipping container or warehouse space and reduce costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is Inventory Planner for?

Inventory Planner is the market-leading inventory planning software that is designed to help retail, e-commerce and wholesale merchants buy the right inventory at the right time, based on reliable predictions of how much they’ll sell.

We support 2,600+ worldwide brands from startups to billion-dollar companies in every industry imaginable – from apparel to electronic goods.

If you run a retail, e-commerce or wholesale business that holds stock, and you want to reduce your out-of-stock ratio while avoiding overbuying inventory, Inventory Planner is for you.

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

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. How is Inventory Planner different from other providers?

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

We’re true leaders in our field: Unlike generic inventory softwares, Inventory Planner is a market-leading specialized solution. We started back in 2012 (when inventory planning wasn’t even a ‘thing’!) and we’ve spent more than a decade fine-tuning our forecasting and inventory planning models so they get results, even in turbulent times.
Our forecasting is transparent and customizable: We believe you can only make informed decisions when you fully understand your data. With Inventory Planner, you’ll know exactly how your forecasting has been calculated (and you can tweak it to suit your needs), so you can take our forecasts and purchasing recommendations and use them to help you meet your goals.
We’re always evolving, just like the e-commerce market: As part of Sage Group, we’re able to invest heavily and regularly in our innovation, so we’re always a step ahead of our competition when it comes to offering reliable forecasting and intelligent purchasing recommendations, even as markets shift.

4. What's the SKU limit with Inventory Planner?

Inventory Planner is a scalable solution built to work for e-commerce businesses of any size, from startups to billion-dollar companies – so there is no SKU limit.

Plus, with our Data Warehouse connectors, data from any source can be seamlessly synced with Inventory Planner (which means no siloed data or delayed syncs for e-commerce businesses with large data sets across various platforms).
