Inventory Planner vs ReOrder

Inventory Planner helps retailers, ecommerce brands, wholesalers, and discrete manufacturers forecast demand and decide what inventory to purchase. Its configurable models cover seasonal, non-seasonal, retail, and wholesale products, with automatic adjustments to sales patterns. For new products, forecasts can use sales data from similar items. Purchasing features include supplier management, minimum order quantities, and open-to-buy budgeting. The service recommends purchases and warehouse transfers across multiple locations, with a customizable forecast horizon and no stated SKU limit. Native integrations include Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, eBay, Brightpearl, Cin7, QuickBooks, and other sales, management, fulfillment, and accounting systems. Beta Stock Orders and Reports APIs provide real-time account data, but cannot accept product or variant data. It runs on the web and through an API. Pricing is on request; guided implementation and training are required.

ReOrder is inventory forecasting and replenishment software for Shopify merchants, turning sales, stock, supplier rules, and cash limits into a ranked buying plan. It estimates demand using recent Shopify orders, refunds, and current inventory, and supports recorded stockout periods and assumptions for new items. Recommendations show their inputs and calculations, and merchants can accept, change, or defer them. An optional cash limit shows which proposed purchases fit the budget and which remain deferred. Approved items can be grouped into supplier purchase-order drafts and exported as CSV for an existing workflow. The current release connects to one Shopify store, supports up to 3,000 product variants, and reads up to 1,000 recent orders; incomplete imports are flagged. Its Shopify access is read-only, and it does not change Shopify records. It also cannot automatically send supplier orders or write inventory back to Shopify. The plan costs $49 per store per month after a guided 14-day trial through private beta. Requesting access does not install the app or start billing.
