The best in demand planning!
We have tried a lot of demand planning software and Inventory Planner is by far the best. The layout of the software is incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing you to create your perfect view. The integrations that we have used alongside our other software has been incredibly tight. Plus, the support is always great. I honestly don't know how we would stay on top of our large sku count without it.

Lavender and Zhanna have been fantastic at helping us to get set up on inventory planner. There have been confusing moments for us since our current platform is quite messy and I've been very impressed with the way they are able to take the very little knowledge we have given them about our business and find a way to help us through our questions and ensure that we get set up correctly.

We have been unable to use the tool for…
We have been unable to use the tool for item forecasting, open-to-buy, or order generation for below reasons. We reached out to the team several times with questions/issues and was referred to other members or forwarded lengthy self-training materials instead of answers to simple questions. The Team also attended the IP Product Roadmap meeting and did not see solutions to these issues.
Unable to generate accurate forecasts that take into account lifecycle and seasonality of our product. When set to last sales, which was originally recommended by the IP team, it did not account for Swim drop off in fall/winter and dramatically over forecasted sales and reorders. The other two methods have not produced better results. Forecasting at category level continues to be overridden in the system.
Unable to plan Net vs Gross sales, return rate, or discount rate
Cannot see critical metrics by week/month to create manual plans such as % to LY, build, discount rate, AUR, AIR.
No visibility to how it's generating the forecast and need for proper validation.
Unable to group or view by key attributes such as hit cut, bra top, etc. or export a list of skus and each attribute column (length, cup, size, etc.)
POs and receiving are not integrated with IP and currently our ops team is manually entering POs into multiple systems to keep it updated, which causes no real time visibility to total available inventory as we place orders.
The interface is generally inefficient and difficult to navigate. Simple updates create a lag when attempting to save changes.
This tool does not give us the information we need to run the business or make good decisions.
I have emails from their team saying these options are not available. Their team continually says they are there for us with additional training. What good does training do if the functions needed to conduct stellar business practices do not exist?
Our CEO requested multiple times to cancel our subscription, and we were repeatedly denied.

Save time and be more accurate
Inventory Planner has replaced a slow and tedious demand planning process we previously undertook using Shopify reports and spreadsheets to understand which stock we should order and when.
There is some complexity to their forecasting but the customer team is very responsive via chat and was able to explain some pretty complex analytical concepts so that we could understand how IP was coming up with its forecasts.

Probably the best inventory planning…
Probably the best inventory planning software with AMAZING in-house support. So why only 4 stars?
1) Implementation is outsourced to a third-party company that lacks the expertise of the in-house team, and they charge a significant fee for it.
2) The software is complex, requiring a steep learning curve. It takes about 2-3 months to fully understand and set it up properly.
3) The upfront cost is high, but it saves significant time in the long run and will definitely pay off as revenue grows.
Despite the cons, the benefits ultimately outweigh the downsides for me.

Hi Aman,
Thank you so much for your review! It is always great for us and future customers to see such an honest review from an existing customer. Support are getting a lot of praise recently, I will be sure to make them aware of your review 😊
Inventory Planner by Sage (IP) certainly can be a steep learning curve, and the set up required differs from company to company and then the complexity of their own workflows and processes.
I will be sure to pass on feedback to our in-house team in relation to your implementation experience, this is always useful to hear from a customer perspective.
Regarding your third point, yes, the cost depends on several factors. However, as you mentioned, the software is designed to save time and help companies make more informed decisions on replenishment and forecasting, ultimately reducing the money tied up in inventory.
Thank you once again, I really appreciate your review.
Kindest regards,
Ade
