## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Supply chain planning" for an online store almost always means demand forecasting + purchase order planning, not full S&OP. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest evaluating them:
> 
> **If you're on Shopify and doing under ~$20M:**
> 
> 1. **Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - the default recommendation. Shopify-first, strongest pure demand forecasting in the category, deep replenishment and PO workflows. It's what most established DTC brands graduate into. ~$120/mo entry, quote-based above that (scales with revenue + SKU count), which is the main knock on it.
> 2. **Prediko** - the best-rated option on the Shopify App Store (4.9 across 200+ reviews) and the one I'd point a $2-15M brand at first. Cheaper entry (~$49/mo), onboarding included, and it ties inventory buys to cash flow rather than just stock coverage. Faster to get value from than Inventory Planner.
> 3. **Cogsy** - narrower but opinionated: forward-looking inventory coverage, replenishment recommendations, and "what does this buy do to my cash" modeling. $199/mo with no free tier, so it only makes sense for growth-stage brands that have outgrown spreadsheets.
> 4. **Sumtracker** - worth a look if your pain is m
