The answer, as recorded

Most online stores don't need "supply chain planning" in the enterprise sense. They need demand forecasting plus purchase-order planning that connects to their store. Here's what I'd suggest, starting with the most likely fit. One caveat: nearly every comparison I found was written by a vendor ranking its own product (Prediko, Sumtracker, Flieber and others). I couldn't find neutral user reviews in this search, so take the claims below as the vendors' positioning, not independent testing. ## For most Shopify / DTC stores 1. **Prediko.** It's my first pick for Shopify-first brands. It does AI forecasting, reorder suggestions and purchase orders, syncs with Shopify, and needs little setup. Pricing starts around $49/month, and it has a 4.9★ rating from 200+ reviews in the Shopify App Store. That rating comes from Prediko's own blog, so check the app listing yourself.

Pricing is by quote only. [sumtracker.com](https://www.sumtracker.com/blog/top-10-shopify-demand-forecasting-software) · [prediko.io comparison](https://www.prediko.io/inventory-planner-vs-cogsy-vs-prediko) 3. **Cogsy.** Suits growth-stage DTC brands that want longer-range (12-month) demand planning and "what-if" scenarios, not just reorder alerts. About $199/month. [prediko.io comparison](https://www.prediko.io/inventory-planner-vs-cogsy-vs-prediko) ## If you sell on Amazon, Walmart or wholesale too 4. **Flieber.** It was built for multichannel sellers and forecasts per channel (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, wholesale). From about $299/month. [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/flieber) · [Flieber vs Netstock](https://www.flieber.com/flieber-vs-netstock) 5. **Sumtracker.** A cheaper option for small multichannel sellers on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy and eBay who want stock sync along with planning. [sumtracker.com](https://www.sumtracker.com/blog/top-10-inventory-planning-software) ## If you need full operations software, not just planning 6. **Cin7.** Combines inventory, POS, a B2B ordering portal and warehouse management. A good fit if you also sell wholesale or in physical stores. [keel.so](https://keel.so/feeds/blog/best-multi-channel-inventory-management-software) 7. **Linnworks.** Order and inventory management with 100+ channel integrations (Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop and more). Better for high-volume marketplace sellers than for deep forecasting. [keel.so](https://keel.so/feeds/blog/best-multi-channel-inventory-management-software) ## Mid-market / enterprise 8. **Netstock.** Strong forecasting for businesses running a proper ERP (distributors, wholesalers, bigger brands). It's less built around DTC workflows. [sumtracker.com](https://www.sumtracker.com/blog/top-10-shopify-demand-forecasting-software) 9. **Deposco, Blue Ridge, Infor Retail Planning.** Full demand, inventory and procurement planning suites for complex, high-SKU, multi-location operations. [Deposco](https://deposco.com/blog/best-supply-chain-planning-software-for-mid-market-companies/) · [softwareconnect.com](https://softwareconnect.com/roundups/best-supply-chain-planning-software/) · [clickpost.ai](https://www.clickpost.ai/blog/retail-planning-software) **In short:** If you're only on Shopify, try Prediko or Inventory Planner. If you sell across several channels, use Flieber. If you've outgrown apps and run an ERP, look at Netstock or Deposco. Most of these have free trials, so load your own sales history into two of them and compare the forecasts.
