## Reviews

### "Great software for purchase order creation" — 5.0/5

> **Dipesh** | *13 October 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The implementation is very easy with almost a few clicks and your datat begins to pull through. It has allowed us to correctly forecast the stock required for the given lead time and days of stock which we require which has meant that our out of stock days on items has reduced dramatically and also allows us not to overstock.
> 
> **Cons**: The only issue that we have had is that sometimes the reports do not work out of the box so some configuration on the data is required in order to get the information that you require.
> 
> Overall, I would say that the software is fantastic and has allowed us to scale with efficiency. It has also allowed us to onboard new brands with confidence knowning we can expand without putting too much cash in slower moving inventory.

### "Inventory Planner" — 5.0/5

> **Marion** | *15 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is great to see all the sales forecast in one place. We are continually learning how inventory planner works and continually optimising it
> 
> **Cons**: The planning board could be bigger and sometimes you need to go to several different screens to find out the information.
> 
> Overall a good experience. Online help is very good and generally you can resolve issues very quickly.

### "Inventory Planner - Good Software" — 4.0/5

> **Luke** | *26 June 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall product is very good for our business needs. We did have initial teething problems, which were quickly rectified by the team to ensure the forecast works better for us. Additionally, my account managers \[sensitive content hidden\] have only ever been helpful, and have guided me along the way with anything I was unsure on.
> 
> **Cons**: Missing some aspects to provide better forecasting (e.g, ignoring periods where an item is in the sale thus falsely inflating R.O.S, or ability to deduct smaller PI's from a larger one).
> 
> Good. I have used this software for a year now, and have just renewed our contract, due to the product working well for our business needs.

### "It's been a really useful addition to our business" — 5.0/5

> **James** | *23 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Required replenishment is automatically flagged based on historical demand, making it easy to identify the lines which need some attention. Forecasts are accurate and the per-SKU 'dashboard' summarises a lot of information in one place. PO creation is quick and very customisable. The overstock feature gives us a steer on which lines require some promotion.
> 
> **Cons**: Having mastered the basics, there's a sense that we could be getting more out of the system. But there's no clear path to achieving that without sitting through hours and hours of webinars in the hope of spotting the nuggets of information we'd find useful.

Some of the UX in product/bundle setup isn't as intuitive as it could be.
> 
> We signed up to Inventory Planner to improve forecasting and stock supply for a retail location, ecommerce store and Amazon FBA. Previously all of this work was done in spreadsheets, but rapid business expansion and an increase in suppliers made this process increasingly laborious. Inventory Planner has greatly assisted us, leading to few stock-outs and the ability to better deal with surges in customer demand.

### "Consistently proven to be a powerful tool for demand forecasting" — 5.0/5

> **Mariusz** | *23 July 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. Custom Integration Flexibility:
Supports external data feeds via Google Sheets, allowing custom workflows beyond built-in connectors.

2. Scalable Replenishment Planning:
Effectively manages complex demand forecasting across thousands of SKUs and multiple suppliers, reducing overstock and saving time.
> 
> **Cons**: Custom Feed Performance:
While the ability to use Google Sheets for custom data feeds is valuable, the sync process can be slow for large datasets. A direct database integration feed would offer better performance and scalability.
> 
> We’ve been using Inventory Planner for over a year, and it has consistently proven to be a powerful tool for demand forecasting and stock replenishment. It handles complex multi-supplier environments with ease—we manage over 3,000 SKUs across 20+ suppliers—and its predictive models have notably increased our ordering precision. A key advantage is the ability to import external data via Google Sheets, enabling us to implement custom logic and accommodate edge-case workflows that fall outside the scope of built-in connectors. The reporting capabilities are comprehensive, with flexible filters and export functions that facilitate in-depth analysis. Since adopting the platform, we’ve streamlined our procurement processes and significantly reduced excess inventory.
