## Reviews

### "Best in the business" — 4.0/5

> **Paul** | *28 July 2021* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s speed. It calculates everything so fast and handles 30k Products and 3 locations with absolute ease.
> 
> **Cons**: I want all the fields / filter options available across all sections sometime I can’t quite tweak the reports to a very granular level.
> 
> Lightening fast inventory ordering software. I have used them all in the past 20 years and this is hands down the fastest, most accurate, well though out and intuitive software. Literally saves hours of time every single day.

-----

### "Good customer service experience" — 4.0/5

> **Claiborne** | *31 July 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am still learning the ins and outs of inventory Planner but I had a very helpful interaction with their customer service.  They took the time to figure out the issue I was experiencing as well as help me to interpret and diagnose the underlying causes for future cases.
> 
> **Cons**: Understanding error messages given by inventory planner is not the most intuitive.  While I understood the basis of what was causing the error, I had no way of identifying the specifics of the error without first reaching out to customer service.  Now with their help, I will be able to address these same issues on my own if they occur in the future.

### "When it works it's OK... when it doesn't it is a nightmare" — 3.0/5

> **Adam** | *30 May 2022* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When it works it makes purchasing straightforward. The forecasting aspect works fine. It's easy to import and export purchase orders.
> 
> **Cons**: There are frequent periods where Inventory Planner does not sync with Shopify. At these point the system is rendered useless as data is not up to date so purchasing cannot be done without taking a huge gamble.&#10;&#10;There are periods where there is zero functionality - usually when the sync is not working. Here nothing whatsoever will correctly load. &#10;&#10;It is as if they don't have enough AWS server capacity to deal with data and it backs up all the requests from their clients, freezing it for everyone. &#10;&#10;When there are extended periods of downtime there is a risk of data loss through syncs failing.&#10;&#10;Customer support is barely interested. Brief replies with no real care or concern of the business impact of the problems they are causing. For the high price paid we expect fast responses from people that resolve things.&#10;&#10;There are other annoyances e.g. it is not possible to merge multiple purchase orders from one supplier.
> 
> Disappointing sums it up. They promise a lot but the problems cause huge headaches and loss of money. As I write this we have \&gt;30 POs we need to place in order to receive stock before a 4-day holiday weekend... we cannot even add a single item to a purchase order\! &#10;&#10;Purchasing is a business critical function and Inventory Planner simply cannot be relied upon.

### "IP is easy to use and makes creating and managing stock orders seamless" — 5.0/5

> **Kahli** | *15 September 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Inventory Planner is easy to use and makes creating and managing stock orders seamless. Reporting is clear, fast to load, and provides useful insights for planning. The definitions page and support chat offer quick access to helpful guidance. Overall, it saves time and simplifies the stock management process.
> 
> **Cons**: A few small improvements could enhance the platform, such as the ability to create shared filters for stock order views accessible to the whole team. It would also be beneficial if reports could be downloaded with images instead of links, and if invoices could be attached directly to stock orders. These are minor issues but would add extra value.
> 
> Inventory Planner is a valuable and reliable tool that streamlines stock order management, improves accuracy, and supports more effective planning. Combined with its ease of use and strong support, it is an essential part of our workflow.

### "Great Forecast & Service" — 5.0/5

> **Paige** | *11 September 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I can forecast inventory more accurately and it's easy to use.  I can run reports quickly and tailor them to what I need on the fly.
> 
> **Cons**: That I didn't have it sooner\!  The only issues we have experienced is ensuring everyone understands the difference between vendor and brand.  Our systems didn't quite match so we needed an easier way to resolve it.
> 
> We had an easy time setting the system up.  There was excellent training that was interactive.  I had great customer support via the chat when I was struggling with a report.  The system has taken over multiple spreadsheets by multiple people. We are saving so much time, and forecasting even more accurately.
