This app ended up being useless for us, a huge waste of time and money. Be careful what you commit to, make sure you have an out if you can't use it. We couldn't generate accurate forecasts that take into account the seasonality of our product. When set to last sales, which was originally recommended by the IP team, it dramatically over forecasted sales and reorders. The other two methods didn't work either. Forecasting at a category level was overridden in the system. We were unable to plan Net vs Gross sales, return rate, or discount rate Couldn't see critical metrics by week/month to create manual plans such as % to LY, build, discount rate, AUR, AIR. Couldn't group or view by key attributes or export a list of skus and each attribute column. The interface is generally inefficient and difficult to navigate. Simple updates create a lag when attempting to save changes. It's possible it would work for a non seasonal business with products that all have the same attributes, especially if there are a lot of people to manage it. Just make sure you can get out of it if it doesn't work.

Jansen did a great job walking through a workflow issue of ours in real time to help resolve my issue. Not only was the explanation thorough, he's been extremely helpful following up and providing step by step directions for us to use as a resource internally. Every time I've reached out to their support team, they are timely, courteous, and resourceful.

I have a love-hate relationship with this app. The basic functions of being able to make and send POs, and see/sync inventories and invoices is great. The forecasting is so-so, and doesn't always display the data you need to see. Integration is also a PITA if you have a complicated store with multiple warehouses, and 3rd party fulfillment...I turned the 3P warehouses off in the settings, why are you still importing their inventory and variants? Customer service is also lacking. You CAN'T call them. There isn't a number. So you're stuck sending chat messages, waiting for a response, then playing chat tag for days. I've also gotten incorrect information, with them not knowing they had some functionality that I found by clicking around, and being misinformed about how some apps integrate. This app does save me time, but if I had the time to find another similar app, I'd jump ship.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, it's a shame to see a love-hate relationship with our software, but your feedback is appreciated and it is always useful to hear genuine experiences from customers. We are limited by what we can do regarding the setup of products from an external system, however I understand that we have provided guidance on how to align IP with that system so that the issue can be overcome. In addition to this I will make sure that we reach out to you and check that you have everything you need in relation to that matter. Finally in relation to your feedback about forecasting, it would be great to get more information about the data sources you would like to see, we will ask about this when we reach out to you. Kindest regards, Ade Inventory Planner by Sage
