### "User friendly platform"

August 10, 2025

5.0

Overall a good experience and complimentary to our other inventory management systems. Customer service is top notch, very quick and comprehensive support.

Pros

Responsive customer service and user friendly platform. We came across from Cin7 which was missing a few key features we needed that IP had.

Cons

Forecasting algorithm still needs some improving however we are working with IP to hopefully get this perfect soon. Quite pricey but if we can resolve the issues I would confidently say it was worth it.

The tool has overall a great and easy usability, great support and easy way to explain it. Great versatility for adjusting articles to your needs, attach several warehouses. Good reporting tabs and easy set up automations, which will take the load from you doing the work and giving it to the tool, once set up correctly.

Pros

While using the Inventory Planner, you have an easy overview, great possibilities of attaching it to data sources, the accuracy of replenishment planning. It can handle several thousand SKU's, good explanation, also the service team is great to help on all challanges

Cons

Long loadingtimes are sometime a topic, also recalculating replenishment figures takes a long time.

### "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.

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.

### "IP experience"

December 8, 2025

4.0

I consider it a very useful tool if you need to centralize multiple sales channels and warehouses. We also use this tool to forecast the annual production plan and the monthly replenishment we need.

Pros

We can centralize all our channel information within a single tool. It also allows us to easily input replenishment needs for our products.

Cons

Limited flexibility in customs reports, which may make it harder to adapt to specific market or regulatory requirements. Reports may not be easily understandable for employees who don't use the tool on a daily basis, potentially causing confusion or requiring extra training.

### "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.

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 inventory planner 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.

### "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).

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

### "Consistently proven to be a powerful tool for demand forecasting"

July 23, 2025

5.0

We’ve been using Inventory Planner 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.

### "It's been a really useful addition to our business "

July 23, 2025

5.0

We signed up to Inventory Planner 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.

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

### "IP is easy to use and makes creating and managing stock orders seamless"

September 15, 2025

5.0

Inventory Planner 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

Inventory Planner 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.

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.

### "Glimja & Inventory Planner"

March 18, 2025

4.0

Great! It's exactly what we needed in our operations to take the next step in becoming more efficient and data-driven.

Pros

Reduced Stockouts & Overstocking: Inventory Planner helps us calculate optimal inventory levels based on historical sales data, lead times, campaigns etc. It also helped us gain a much better insight in our overstock. Process Efficiency: Inventory Planner eliminated our need for manual calculations and spreadsheets freeing up our team to focus on strategic tasks. It also provides us valuable insights through forecasting, reporting, and analytics. We also participated in Sage Inventory Planner basic training, which helped us a lot to use Inventory Planner in a correct and efficient way. The Support Team is great! Very helpful and overall nice to communicate with.

Cons

Pricing can be a bit heavy for smaller companies / start-ups. If you are not using standard integrations it's a bit more tricky to establish an efficient integration, however CSV-connection works fine, just requires a little more effort.

### "Inventory Planner - very capable solution"

March 26, 2025

4.0

We were using IP for 4 years prior to moving to Brightpearl, and have continued to use IP for our purchase order generation, plus relying on it for a full stock and sales history going back to go-live date. Our sales are somewhat unpredictable due to growth so we tend to do our forecasting 'off platform' but for the monthly cost we haven't found a credible alternative and would recommend it.

Pros

Full and comprehensive stock and sales history, reportable at any month-end in the past. Quick, helpful and responsive support team. Full audit trail for Purchase Order generation and updates.

Cons

We're a small and rapidly growing company and this makes our forecasting something we need to do more manually, off the platform.

### "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.

March 2, 2022

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

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.

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.

### "The right fit Cloud Merchandise Planning and Replenishment tool for my retail chain"

October 16, 2020

5.0

Quickly got a hold on our merchandise buying needs through better forecasting and financial management across key categories. 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

### "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
