## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For online stores, "supply chain planning" in practice means demand forecasting + purchase order generation + inventory optimization. The right pick depends almost entirely on revenue band and channel mix, so here's how I'd order it:
> 
> **1. Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - The default recommendation and the most widely deployed in ecommerce. Best once you have real complexity: Amazon + wholesale + multiple warehouses or a 3PL. Base is roughly $120-250/month, but it meters you - ~$80/mo per extra warehouse, ~$15/mo per extra 1,000 SKUs, paid onboarding tiers, and a 12-month contract. A 2-warehouse / 4,000-SKU brand realistically lands in the $7k-15k+/year range.

> 
> **2. Prediko** - My pick for Shopify-first brands who want to stop planning in spreadsheets this month. Starts around $49/month for sub-$100k GMV and scales with revenue, syncs in real time, forecasts units per SKU, and converts forecasts straight into POs. Fastest time to value and no enterprise sales motion. ([prediko.io](https://www.prediko.io/blog/inventory-demand-plannin
