## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Supply chain planning" means something pretty different at $2M revenue than at $200M, so here's what I'd actually recommend by stage. One caveat up front: a lot of the comparison content in this space is written *by* the vendors about their competitors, so treat the rankings you'll find (including some of my sources below) with suspicion and demo before committing.
> 
> **If you're a Shopify store doing roughly $1M-$20M - start here**
> 
> 1. **Inventory Planner by Sage** - still the default recommendation and the one I'd shortlist first. Best-in-class forecasting engine, broad integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, BigCommerce, most 3PLs), and mature purchase-order workflows. The honest downsides: dated UI and a roadmap that visibly slowed after Sage acquired it. Roughly $244/mo and up, scaling with SKU/order volume.
> 2. **Prediko** - built end-to-end for Shopify specifically, which shows in the onboarding and the cash-flow side (it ties reorder recommendations to what you can actually afford to buy). From ~$49/mo. Best pick if Shopify is your only real channel and you want something running this week.
> 3. **Cogsy** - for DTC brands that plan inventory off revenue targets rather than
