#1 Inventory forecasting and planning software for e-commerce

Goodbye guesswork, hello accurate forecasting

Ever find yourself guessing how much inventory is needed in each warehouse to avoid stock issues, even with an IMS system in place like Linnworks? This is where Inventory Planner shines. It tells you precisely how much inventory is needed and the best time to order, based on our accurate sales forecasting combined with your supply lead time and your desired stock cover periods.

Buying recommendations you can count on

In a constantly-evolving modern marketplace, the key to success is inventory planning. Unfortunately, Linnworks customers haven’t experienced the power of accurate and advanced forecasting because the platform only offers entry-level functionality.  Meanwhile, Inventory Planner offers slick, automated and advanced demand predictions for all your products.It even factors in seasonality, promotions, market shifts and your own sales trends for forecasting you can trust – even when markets shift.

Release cash from overstocked items

Cash is king – now more than ever. Inventory Planner flags items that aren’t selling fast enough compared to your customer demand, as well as the associated overstock costs, so you can easily see which items to liquidate first. Easily spot all your overstocked items at a glance and use the upcoming peak season to discount or liquidate your unsold inventory to release cash and boost sales.

Intuitive inventory reporting

Make smarter, data-driven decisions thanks to a 360° view of your inventory by variant, bundles, assembly, product category, warehouse or vendor. Access critical metrics like forecasted lost revenue, forecasted lost profits and retail value to prioritize the goods that need to be reordered first. Plus, with Inventory Planner’s CSV connector and ready-to-go integrations to major IMS platforms and sales channels, you can seamlessly sync all data in a few clicks.
