With long lead times this is tough to manage but IP has really helped us step the business up. Pros \* Easy to get started, although takes some work to set it as needed \* Excellent API for automating works flows \* Pricing and automated price reduction when your stocked items falls \* Summary level and detail drill downs allow questions to be answered and reviewed in one place \* First rate suppport team Cons \* Company has grown quickly and there have been occasional bugs or issues that have impact on availability \* reconciling invoices against POs is tricky as there are not enough "extra charges" boxes and no way to reconcile multiple invoices against a single unless you keep a separate record outside of IP Review Source Response from Sage June 13, 2022 Hi Andy! Thanks for sharing this review with other users, so more customers can discover how IP can be a great asset for their business and how IP has helped your business.

Brand Coordinator Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good customer service experience" July 31, 2025 4.0 Pros I am still learning the ins and outs of but I had a very helpful interaction with their customer service. They took the time to figure out the issue I was experiencing as well as help me to interpret and diagnose the underlying causes for future cases. Cons Understanding error messages given by is not the most intuitive. While I understood the basis of what was causing the error, I had no way of identifying the specifics of the error without first reaching out to customer service. Now with their help, I will be able to address these same issues on my own if they occur in the future. Switched from [Fishbowl](https://www.capterra.com/p/123794/Fishbowl/) Shopify no longer integrated directly with Fishbowl and the bridge connector was not working well enough Review Source Response from Sage August 1, 2025 Hi there Claiborne, Thanks for sharing your experience! We're so glad our support team could help you get to the root of the issue and build confidence for the future. We appreciate your feedback on error messaging—making things clearer is always a priority. It is also great to hear you're finding your footing with Inventory Planner, and we're here if you need anything as you continue exploring!

CPO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great when it works...infuriating when you need customer service" April 13, 2022 3.0 Was good until the massive holes in their CS capacity became apparent. We can't have this much liability in a system that is so integral to our business planning. Ugh. Pros It mostly does what it needs to, except when it doesnt. Cons My biggest gripe is with the customer support. It's simply not designed to be able to manage wide scale issues with their system. They have no direct phone number to call, and their chat system is a queue, meaning they get to you when they get to you. This isnt such a big issue with small problems with single accounts, but when they have a system issue effecting many accounts it means replies take days...and those replies are short and terse without offering any resolution. Right now the system has been an issue for about 1 week. Their "resolution" to the wide-spread issue was to move to a restore point from many days before the problem occurred. This means all the data that was input in the interim is missing. This means I have 15 missing POs. This means my inventory check-in from the past however many days is no longer accurate. These problems will persist for months as we discover them. The reply from their support....what reply? We are looking at other systems for management because we cannot operate a business like this. Reason for choosing Inventory Planner It had the features we wanted at a good price. Review Source Response from Sage April 18, 2022 Hi Nick, we truly apologize for the inconveniences caused by the recent server incident. The disruption was unanticipated and impacted many users. Our teams jumped into immediate action to investigate the cause, and I'm glad to say that a lot of progress has already been made to safeguard against a similar situation in the future. Being responsive to our customers has always been a top priority for us, and it was just as much the case with the recent server incident. Your team has opened over 35 conversations with IP Support - with response times averaging under 6 hours. While we cannot always guarantee immediate responses, we remain diligent and are proud to offer turnaround times that are much quicker than average. I sent a thorough message over earlier today to further explain the issue, our corrective steps, and reasons why this particular issue couldn't be resolved more quickly. Please let us know if you have any questions, or if you'd like to chat through any details. DP Dipesh P. Managing Director Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software for purchase order creation" October 13, 2025 5.0 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. 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. Review Source Response from Sage November 20, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that Inventory Planner made implementation quick and helped you confidently forecast stock, reduce out-of-stock days, and avoid overstocking. It’s great to know the platform has supported your growth and onboarding of new brands. We appreciate you noting the occasional need for report configuration. Your feedback helps us continue improving, and we’ve shared it with our product team. Thanks again for your thoughtful review and for being part of the Inventory Planner community! LG Luke G. Stock Control Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inventory Planner - Good Software" June 26, 2025 4.0 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. 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). Review Source Response from Sage July 22, 2025 Hey Luke, Thanks for this thoughtful feedback, it’s great to hear Inventory Planner by Sage continues to serve your business well, and we really appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us by renewing. I’m glad the team could help smooth things out early on, and that your Account Manager has been a solid source of support throughout. The points you’ve raised around forecasting are helpful too—we’re always looking to refine how the platform handles edge cases like discounted sales and partial purchase orders. Insights like yours help shape what comes next. Thanks again for being part of the journey! Best regards, Ade Inventory Planner by Sage Team MK Marion K. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inventory Planner" December 15, 2025 5.0 Overall a good experience. Online help is very good and generally you can resolve issues very quickly. Pros It is great to see all the sales forecast in one place. We are continually learning how 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. Review Source Response from Sage January 7, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad Inventory Planner is helping you centralize your sales forecasts and continuously optimize your planning. It’s great to hear that our online support has been helpful and that issues are resolved quickly. We also appreciate your feedback on the planning board and navigation. Insights like these help us prioritize improvements and make the workflow even smoother. Thanks again for your thoughtful review and for being part of the Inventory Planner community! MG Mariusz G. director Cosmetics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consistently proven to be a powerful tool for demand forecasting" July 23, 2025 5.0 We’ve been using 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. 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. Review Source JB James B. Director Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's been a really useful addition to our business " July 23, 2025 5.0 We signed up to 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. 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. Review Source Response from Sage August 1, 2025 Hi James, Thanks for sharing such a detailed review! It’s great to hear how Inventory Planner has helped you move beyond spreadsheets and stay ahead of demand across multiple sales channels. We're glad the replenishment alerts, forecasting tools, and PO customization have made a real difference. We also appreciate your thoughts on usability and learning resources—your feedback helps us improve. If you'd like tailored guidance without the webinar deep dive, our support team is always happy to help! Thanks again! Kindest regards, Ade Inventory Planner by Sage Team KC Kahli C. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "IP is easy to use and makes creating and managing stock orders seamless" September 15, 2025 5.0 is a valuable and reliable tool that streamlines stock order management, improves accuracy, and supports more effective planning. Combined with its ease of use and strong support, it is an essential part of our workflow. Pros is easy to use and makes creating and managing stock orders seamless. Reporting is clear, fast to load, and provides useful insights for planning. The definitions page and support chat offer quick access to helpful guidance. Overall, it saves time and simplifies the stock management process. Cons A few small improvements could enhance the platform, such as the ability to create shared filters for stock order views accessible to the whole team. It would also be beneficial if reports could be downloaded with images instead of links, and if invoices could be attached directly to stock orders. These are minor issues but would add extra value. Review Source Response from Sage November 20, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience with Inventory Planner! We're glad to hear the platform has made stock management simpler and that reporting and guidance tools have been helpful. We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions around shared filters, downloadable reports with images, and attaching invoices to stock orders. These are great ideas, and we’ve shared them with our product team. Thanks again for your feedback, we’re grateful to have you with us! TT Tiffany T. Director Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Absolutely worth every dollar." July 28, 2025 5.0 Using has brought a real sense of clarity and control to our business. The platform helped us make confident, data-backed decisions across inventory, forecasting, and even marketing support. It’s given us back time, improved our profitability, and made planning feel a lot less overwhelming. Pros Absolutely worth every dollar. has been a game-changer for our business — the value for money is exceptional. It’s intuitive and easy to use, and has streamlined our inventory management, data analysis, and even marketing planning. A special shoutout to \[sensitive content hidden\], our account manager, who has been incredibly helpful and responsive whenever we’ve needed support. The customer service, especially via email, is top-notch and genuinely supportive. Highly recommend for any growing e-commerce business looking to take the guesswork out of planning. Cons I'm in Australia so setting up a video call sometimes is a challenge due to the time difference, there are times when a call would be quicker than an email but not a deal breaker for us. Review Source Response from Sage August 1, 2025 Hi there Tiffany! Thanks so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled Inventory Planner has brought clarity, confidence, and real value to your business. It's great to hear how it's supported your growth across inventory, forecasting, and even marketing.

Kindest regards, Ade Inventory Planner by Sage Team JL JIngjing L. Associate Buyer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A highly beneficial / valuable / effective forecasting tool" July 16, 2025 5.0 Pros What I appreciated the most was its simplicity and ease of use. The user interface is well-designed and intuitive, allowing me to quickly understand the core features without needing much onboarding. This helped improve efficiency and reduced the time spent figuring out how to perform day-to-day tasks like inventory forecasting and planning. Cons Some features can be a bit hard to find at first, but once you get familiar with the system, it becomes much easier to use. It would be great if the help articles could be more concise and straightforward — that would save some time when looking things up. Review Source RB Reece B. Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inv Planner x JKA" July 21, 2025 4.0 Pros Replenishment functionality. Great for making your stock work in the most effective & lean way, improving overall efficiency & cash flow Cons some of the user interfaces are to cluttered with almost too many metrics. However everything is customisable and can be saved to preference. Review Source Response from Sage August 1, 2025 Hey Reece, Thanks for highlighting the impact Inventory Planner has had on your stock efficiency and cash flow—great to hear it's making a difference!

Partner Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy forecasting" June 2, 2025 5.0 Very good, easy, and a lot of forecasting options. I only need to order once a week, and it have a lot of integrations. Pros Easy out of the box connection to Prestashop. Easy to do a forecasting and ordering of products. When first setup, its pretty easy to maintain. Cons It have A LOT of analytics, and i do not personally use all. But if you like a big date i guess its perfect. But it could be nice to sort/filter somethings out :) Review Source Response from Sage June 23, 2025 Hi Lars, Thanks so much for your review — we really appreciate you taking time out to post a review! It’s great to hear the setup with Prestashop was simple and that our software is helping you plan and place orders with confidence.

We are always here if you need us 😎 Best regards, Ade Inventory Planner by Sage Team TR Thomas R. Operation manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great program!" March 11, 2025 5.0 It's good overall, it does what I want it to do at the right time :) Pros It's easy to get a good overview, the data is easy to understand and work with. Things can be downloaded to excel and uploaded via excel, which is great! There is a handbook so it's easy to find problems, but even better, the support are on point when contacting them! Cons I think the payment terms a set up weird - it's based on yearly revenue, and I don't see that makes sense to charge that way. Even if I only had 10 SKU's that sold for 2.000.000 EUR it would be more expensive for me then to have 1000 SKU's with a yearly revenue on 500.000 EUR. Review Source Response from Sage April 4, 2025 Hi Thomas, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that the platform provides a clear overview and makes working with data seamless, especially with the ability to download and upload via Excel. It's great to know the help centre is useful and that our support team have been helpful for resolving any challenges quickly. We also appreciate your feedback on the payment terms. Your perspective highlights an important consideration, and we'll make sure to pass your comments along to the team as we evaluate how we can better serve our customers in the future.

Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game changer for us" April 5, 2022 5.0 Great product and great support! Pros Replenishment and Open to Buy allow a great amount of user input to tailor results to the business. Cons Open to Buy should allow re-ordering of the display of product categories. Review Source Response from Sage April 6, 2022 Hi John, Thank you so much for you feedback and it was great to hear how you used to plan and purchase before using Inventory Planner and after using Inventory Planner! Using our Open to Buy functionality with a mix of the Replenishment page is a great strategy! I'll share with the team your suggestion to allow re-ordering of the display of product categories for the Open to Buy Page. The Inventory Planner Team VR Verified Reviewer Purchasing Inventory Manager Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Did not work for us" September 24, 2019 3.0 We ended up cancelling our subscription, as the daily emails (seemingly a wonderful idea) only created more work and confusion. It wasn't worth the cost. Pros \- daily emails give insight into out of stock and low stock items, makes it easy to react to conditions. Emails are highly customizeable to narrow into what you want to see. - incredible reporting tool, lots of insights and factors you can add into reports (such as taking into account sales and holidays and how that impacts demand numbers) - great way to narrow down and analyze individual skus, sales history and forecasting - integrated seamlessly with Magento Cons \- daily emails can be off by a day. Tried working with customer support on this (for example, item was out of stock, came back in, is up and available on website, but daily email the next day still shows it out of stock). Customer support unable to fix, created more work having to look into individual skus. Review Source TB Trish B. Director of eCommerce Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Life Saver" February 4, 2022 5.0 If it wasn't for we would be playing the buying guessing game. Pros Easy to use and to see past sales and inventory on hand helps us order for the future. Cons When migrating over from one platform to the next we lost our sales history, but thankfully IP was able to assist and we did get it from another channel. Review Source Response from Sage February 8, 2022 Hi Trish, Thank you so much for your review and we're always happy to help you. It's amazing to see how Inventory Planner helps your company to plan for your future orders. Do not hesitate to reach out if you need any help! The inventory Planner Team JC Julien C. CEO Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best Inventory Planner on the market" March 2, 2022 5.0 We have benchmark quite a few software in this field and this one is the easiest to use. At first, pricing was so low compared to other solution that we hesitated and were concerned about the quality. But honnestly it is equivalent to software costing +$1K / month. Good Job ! Pros Really easy to use and really fast to implement, you can start to forecast your first orders in less than 2 hours. Some issues on our side with the API but quickly solved Cons Some automations could be added but this is not a really cons as the software is already working like a charm Review Source Response from Sage March 3, 2022 Hi Julien! Thank you so much for your review! As you have tested different Forecasting Solutions in the market you're the expert!

Founder Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly effective " March 10, 2023 5.0 Very positive. Pros Everything an end user could want integrated into the app has already been integrated thanks to their listening to customers. It does everything we needed to from automated purchase orders to accurate forecasting. Cons In my case, the interface is rather bloated and confusing, because we only need a few features. But for a larger enterprise, I understand why a lot more of those tools would be needed. Review Source Response from Sage March 17, 2023 Hi there Charlie, Thank you very much for your review, we really appreciate it! It's great to hear that Inventory Planner does everything you need incorporating your automated ordering right through to vital accurate forecasting - it's true, we do listen to our customers and I'm glad this comes across so loudly.

Pros Muy fácil de utilizar.Facilita bastante el trabajo, optimizando los recursos.Puedes optimizar el inventario, reordenarlo, clasificarlo. La verdad que tiene bastantes herramientas y todas muy útiles. Cons Lo único que destacaría sería el coste, aunque es cierto que es una herramienta que nos ha ayudado bastante, por lo que compensa.

This was a gap in our system/tools Pros Variety of forecasting options and models that can be set for different products or categories is excellent. The reporting is detailed, excellent and configurable. It integrated with ease and super quickly to my cloud based erp. Cons The depth of functionality took some time to understand and get used to. Put this is a plus overtime. I think the financial OTB planner is also very good but some further calculated KPI's to be added would enhance the ease of use for users. Reason for choosing Inventory Planner Better suited my business needs and was better priced Review Source Response from Sage October 21, 2020 Thanks for your feedback! IS Ismail S. CEO Wholesale Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "It does it is function but needs some time to understand and manage the software" August 22, 2019 4.0 It doesn't have the inventory page or so which was hard for me to understand why forecast software wouldn't have a better inventory page. Pros Forecasting is working as needs to be. It does calculate all the statistics and gives you a nice understanding of what to order Cons The software is not very easy to use and it doesn't have a full setup video. You have to spend some time in FAQ or ask customer support. They do free demo's Review Source BB Ben B. Operations Director Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A valuable tool for inventory and purchasing management" June 26, 2026 4.0 has become an important part of our inventory management process. It has simplified stock management, improved purchasing decisions and given us much greater visibility of future demand and inventory levels across the business. The software is intuitive to use and makes complex inventory planning much easier to understand. It has helped us become more proactive rather than reactive when managing stock and purchasing. Our only significant challenge has been ensuring the integration with our ERP supports our manufacturing workflows correctly. This has been more about configuring the integration than the software itself. Overall, we're very pleased with the product and would recommend it to businesses looking to improve inventory planning, forecasting and purchasing control. Pros has significantly simplified our stock management and purchasing processes. The forecasting tools and purchasing recommendations make it much easier to plan ahead with confidence, helping us reduce manual analysis and make more informed decisions. The dashboards provide excellent visibility of inventory, future demand and purchasing requirements, allowing different teams across the business to work from the same information. The system is intuitive to use, and once implemented it quickly became part of our day-to-day operations. Customer support has also been responsive whenever we've needed assistance, helping us get the most from the platform. Cons The integration can require careful configuration, particularly for manufacturing businesses with Bills of Materials, assembly processes and different purchasing versus stock units. Once configured it works well, but businesses with more complex workflows should expect to invest time in getting the setup right. Review Source Response from Sage July 2, 2026 Thank you for this detailed review! It's great to hear the forecasting tools, purchasing recommendations, and dashboards have simplified stock management and given your teams shared visibility to plan ahead with confidence. We also appreciate you flagging the configuration effort for manufacturing workflows with BOMs and different purchasing/stock units — that's valuable feedback, and we're glad it's working well once set up. We'll make sure this is passed along to help us improve setup for similar businesses.
