## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-08 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: "supply chain planning" for an online store almost always means demand forecasting + purchase order planning, and the right tool depends almost entirely on your revenue and stack. Here's what I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **If you're a Shopify brand (most online stores)**
> 
> 1. **Prediko** - my default recommendation. It's the tool Shopify itself points merchants toward as the Stocky replacement, pricing is transparent (~$49-$349/mo by revenue) with every feature on every plan - unlimited SKUs, users, POs, AI forecasting, BOM/raw materials, multi-location transfers. Best forecasting-to-purchasing loop for a lean team, and it's the highest-rated of this group on the Shopify App Store.
> 2. **Inventory Planner (Sage)** - the mature, heavier option. Better if you're multi-channel, have a big catalog, or already live in the Sage/Brightpearl ecosystem. Downside: no public pricing, you have to go through sales, and it's more analyst-oriented than plug-and-play.
> 3. **Cogsy** - worth it specifically if you want *scenario* planning rather than a forecast line: what happens to your stock position if growth accelerates, a SKU goes viral, or a supplier slips. ~$199/mo, no free tier,

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
