## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For an online store, "supply chain planning" in practice means three things: demand forecasting, reorder/PO generation, and multi-location inventory optimization. Which tool is right depends almost entirely on your revenue and channel count, so here's who I'd name, in order:
> 
> **1. Inventory Planner by Sage** - The default recommendation for a serious Shopify/multichannel store. Deepest planning logic of the Shopify-native tools: seasonality, lead times, safety stock, supplier-specific POs, multi-warehouse. Pricing is quote-based but published components run roughly $120-$250/mo for one warehouse and 1,000 SKUs, plus ~$80/mo per extra warehouse and ~$15/mo per extra 1,000 SKUs. Pick this if you've outgrown spreadsheets and want the most planning depth without an ERP. ([inventory-planner.com](https://inventory-planner.com/platforms/sales-forecasting-for-shopify))
> 
> **2. Cogsy** - Flat $199/mo, no SKU metering, 14-day trial. 12-month demand forecasts, replenishment alerts, and good scenario/"what if we raise the budget" planning. The best value in the $1M-$10M GMV band specifically because the flat price doesn't punish you for SKU count. ([cogsy.com](https://cogsy.com/blog/inventory-pl
