Prediko vs RELEX Demand Planning

Prediko is an inventory planning product for D2C and Shopify brands. It helps merchants forecast demand, plan supply, and create purchase orders. AI-assisted demand planning supports revenue-target planning and checks plans against supply; supply planning recommends what to buy, when, and how much, with a 12-month purchase order calendar. Other tools include purchase order management, buying alerts, inventory transfer recommendations, more than 20 reports, custom dashboards, and AI-generated inventory insights. Prediko supports connected planning for raw materials and finished goods, with Raw Materials Forecasting & BOMs listed as a $20 add-on. It lists more than 100 integrations across warehouse management, e-commerce, shipping and logistics, and marketplace tools. Shopify compatibility includes Basic, Advanced, Plus, POS, and B2B. Native Amazon integration is coming soon; Amazon is currently available through the third-party app CEDCommerce. The product has a public API and offers a full-featured 14-day free trial with help connecting a store and configuring an account. Starter is $49 a month for stores up to $100K in revenue, with unlimited users and SKUs; there is no free plan.

RELEX Demand Planning forecasts demand for planning across merchandising, supply chains, and operations. Its manufacturer-focused Demand Planning & Sensing supports SKU/day forecasts, aggregated up to a 24-month horizon, along with demand sensing and product lifecycle forecasting. Models can account for promotions, point-of-sale signals, weather, seasonality, cannibalization, and halo effects. For new products, a Product Attribute AI agent matches them with reference products to create day-one forecasts. Configurable dashboards let planners review, adjust, aggregate, and share forecasts, handle exceptions, investigate anomalies, and see how demand factors affect results. Users can compare what-if scenarios before choosing a plan to execute. Connections are available through files and APIs, with named systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Visma, IFS, AS400, Databricks, and Snowflake. The SAP Connector supports S/4HANA on-premises, S/4HANA private cloud (RISE), and ECC 6.0 EHP8, but not S/4 public cloud (GROW) or earlier ECC versions. RELEX lists web as its platform. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a demo.
