Flowlity

Flowlity is a supply-chain forecasting and planning platform for manufacturers, distributors and retailers. It is best suited to teams that need SKU-level forecasts tied to inventory and purchasing decisions, with Lite serving smaller businesses and Enterprise addressing more complex operations. Its breadth is a strength, but the difference between Lite’s CSV-based workflow and Enterprise’s integration project is consequential.

Overview

Flowlity combines demand forecasting with inventory optimization, supply planning, sales and operations planning, and collaborative planning. That makes it a broader choice than a forecasting-only tool for organizations that want to connect demand signals to supply decisions. Small businesses can start with forecasting, supply planning and order management in Lite; the main product is aimed at mid-market and enterprise companies, including multi-site operations.

Key features

Forecasts are generated at SKU level from a company’s sales history and supply-chain data. The probabilistic engine assigns likelihoods to demand and lead-time scenarios, while demand sensing, hierarchical forecasting and scenario planning support decisions across different planning horizons and levels. This is useful when planners need to account for uncertainty rather than rely on a single forecast.

Recommendations can incorporate minimum order quantities, batch sizes, full truck or container loads, and Incoterms. Those constraints matter when a forecast needs to become a feasible purchase plan, though they do not remove the need to judge operational trade-offs. AI monitoring looks for spikes, anomalies and stockouts, and uses synthetic resampling to correct outliers.

Enterprise supports real-time S&OP, supplier collaboration, and price and promotion optimization. Integrations include SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Cegid, Odoo and Sage, plus API and SFTP transfers. Through MCP, Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code can read and write Flowlity data using a user’s OAuth 2.0 credentials and existing role permissions.

Flowlity says its cloud platform runs exclusively on Microsoft Azure, with customer data held in French data centers and isolated in a dedicated database per customer. It describes its security program as aligned with ISO 27001 principles, and says data and backups are encrypted at rest, with data encrypted in transit. It also says it is GDPR compliant and can provide a Data Processing Agreement on request.

Pricing

Flowlity Lite: €249 a month, billed as a monthly subscription with no long-term commitment. It includes demand forecasting, supply planning and order management for up to 5,000 SKUs, with CSV uploads and no ERP integration. A 14-day trial is offered. Lite is the straightforward fit for a small business able to supply sales history by CSV; the SKU cap and lack of native ERP connection make it less suitable for teams that need automated data flows.

Flowlity Enterprise: custom pricing, billed as a subscription plus a one-time implementation fee. Price depends on SKU count or inventory value. ERP integration and multi-site configurations are supported, with a dedicated Customer Success Manager and a full integration project. An initial deployment on a first scope typically takes 8 to 12 weeks; broader global deployments can take 4 to 6 months. This is the more appropriate plan for complex, connected operations, but it entails a longer implementation and costs beyond the subscription.

Platforms

Flowlity is available on the web and through an API. The integration options suit organizations connecting planning to existing ERP and data systems; Lite instead depends on uploaded CSV sales history.

Who it's for

Flowlity is aimed at manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Lite fits smaller businesses planning up to 5,000 SKUs without native ERP integration. Enterprise is intended for mid-market and enterprise teams, particularly those managing complex multi-site configurations and needing supplier collaboration or real-time S&OP.

Pros and cons

Pro: Probabilistic SKU forecasts, demand sensing and scenario planning address uncertainty directly, which is valuable for planners making inventory and supply decisions.

Pro: Recommendations can reflect purchasing and shipping constraints, making them more relevant to teams dealing with order quantities, load sizes or Incoterms.

Pro: Enterprise combines a broad set of planning functions with ERP connectivity and a dedicated implementation project for complex environments.

Con: Lite relies on CSV uploads and has no ERP integration, so it is a poor fit for smaller teams that need continuously connected planning data.

Con: Enterprise adds a one-time implementation fee and can take months to deploy at global scale, requiring more time and commitment than a self-serve tool.

Alternatives

For a narrower replenishment workflow, compare eTurns TrackStock, which offers a Replenish — stockroom plan at $40 a month, billed semi-annually, with unlimited users, items and suppliers. Choose it when stockroom replenishment and those unlimited allowances matter more than Flowlity’s wider forecasting and planning scope.

GMDH Streamline is worth considering when a free starting tier matters: its Free Edition is limited to up to US$ 1M in annual revenue, 1,000 planning items and 10,000 annual sales quantity. Flowlity instead offers a paid Lite plan with a 5,000-SKU cap and CSV workflow.

Optiply may suit buyers seeking a lower entry price for bounded order and SKU volumes: Optiply Lite starts at €79 a month, up to 1,000 sales orders per month and 1,000 SKUs. Flowlity Lite costs more but allows up to 5,000 SKUs and focuses on forecasting, supply planning and order management.

Oracle Yard Management is another paid option if you are comparing supply-chain software.

Prediko may be a better fit for a smaller store seeking a lower-cost starting tier: Starter is $49 a month for stores up to $100K in revenue, while Flowlity Lite is designed around SKU capacity and supply planning.

Stockagile Replenishment starts at €49 a month for one store, one user and one register, with sales capped at €10,000 per month on Starter; consider it when those retail limits fit better than Flowlity’s planning scope.

ReOrder is a Shopify-specific alternative, priced at $49 a month per store after a 14-day guided trial for one store and up to 3,000 variants. It is more relevant when the requirement is tied to one Shopify store rather than broader supply-chain planning.

Demandsoft Replenishment Solutions (PRIME One) is another web-based replenishment option to compare.

Verdict

Choose Flowlity if you need probabilistic SKU forecasting connected to inventory and supply planning, and especially if Enterprise’s integrations and multi-site capabilities match your operation. Its main advantage is bringing forecasts, planning constraints and connected supply-chain functions together; look elsewhere if you need an inexpensive, immediately integrated small-business tool, since Lite requires CSV uploads and Enterprise involves custom pricing and implementation.
