From SMBs to billion-dollar brands…

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

"I’m someone with zero merchandising experience who has been able to use Inventory Planner to successfully merchandise for AYBL with minimum effort. It takes care of so much, including automatic replenishment, that I can be quite hands off with merchandising and purchasing. It easily saves us around 100 hours a month. Thanks to Inventory Planner, our stock is lean and we always have enough to meet demand. That’s had a direct impact on our ability to grow."

Reiss Edgerton, Founder and CEO AYBL

"I was hesitant buying new stock before, but now I know when I have enough, and that knowledge is extremely valuable. Having Inventory Planner behind us means that for the first time in my 20 year history, I have the confidence to scale. I’ve never felt more ready to do that."

Danielle Malconian, CEO Vikki Vi and Plus By Design

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 (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. 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. How does Inventory Planner's pricing work?

Our pricing is based on your annual revenue – it’s simple, transparent and means you’ll never be overcharged. Find out more on our pricing page

5. 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.
