The answer, as recorded

"Supply chain planning" means different things at $500k GMV than at $50M, so here's my ranked list with the size each actually fits. **1. Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - My default recommendation for most established online stores. It's the most mature product in this category: demand forecasting, replenishment, open-to-buy budgeting, and genuinely deep integrations (Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, eBay, plus NetSuite, Cin7, ShipBob, Dynamics). Downside: quote-only pricing that effectively starts around $299/mo, so it's overkill for small stores. **2. Prediko** - Best value if you live inside Shopify. Purpose-built for Shopify DTC, syncs in real time, forecasts revenue and units per SKU, and turns forecasts into POs. Starts at $49/mo and scales by GMV, with unlimited SKUs and users on every tier. The right pick for roughly $100k-$50M GMV single-channel brands. **3. Netstock** - The one to pick if you already run an ERP (NetSuite, Dynamics, Sage, SAP B1). It sits on top of the ERP rather than your storefront and converts stock data into ranked order recommendations. Strong support reputation; weaker on multichannel inventory syncing, so it's not the choice if your demand is spread across five marketplaces. **4. Flieber** - The multichannel specialist. If you sell Shopify + Amazon + wholesale + 3PLs and the hard part is reconciling all of it into one stock position, this is built for exactly that problem. **5. Cogsy** - Flat $199/mo, 12-month demand forecasts, replenishment alerts, and good raise-cash/OTB framing for brands that are inventory-capital constrained. Simpler than Inventory Planner; predictable pricing is the main draw. **6. GMDH Streamline** - Step up when forecast accuracy itself is the bottleneck. Rated highest of this group on inventory forecasting and multichannel syncing in third-party comparisons. More of a planner's tool - expect real implementation effort. **7. Kinaxis or Anaplan** - Only at genuine enterprise scale (multi-node networks, manufacturing, S&OP across teams). Kinaxis leads on optimization, Anaplan on connected cross-functional planning. For a pure online store these are almost always the wrong answer - too heavy, too expensive. Practical take: if you're under ~$1M GMV on Shopify, start with Prediko. Over that, demo Inventory Planner against Prediko. If an ERP is already your system of record, go straight to Netstock and skip the storefront-native tools.
