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

Inventory Planner is not robust enough for our needs and has a lot of bugs. Customer support is lacking after the initial training period. Once the initial training period is over the people who were helping resolve the issues just refer you to the standard support option. This app requires a lot of manual work to see the accurate results, and you need to be using the platform for over one year for accurate information as they can't factor stockouts from Shopify or Shiphero. One example of manual work that is needed to see accurate results is reviewing data for seasonal products vs new fasting selling items. We are a clothing brand so our default method is seasonal, but the app doesn't have the ability to use a different method for products that haven't been in our catalog for a full season without a lot of manual overrides.

We use this app daily, it makes predicting what inventory we need to order much easier and saves a lot of time. It's a swiss army knife of inventory functions. The support is excellent, Jansen and Kate have been fantastic.

When first getting to know the platfrom, it does seem like its a lot. But, once you know what you are looking at, all of that information starts coming together. The only issue I have had so far was a variant/product issue where variats were loading as their own product rather than under the same product. I reached out to Customer Service and Jansen was the one who responded. We must have worked on this issue for 6+ months together, along with his engineering team. They did not give up until the issue was resolved. There was always constent communication between Jansen, the engineering team, and myself during the process. If any other issues arrise I will be going to Jansen for assistance. I have been assisted by other customer service representatives before but since Jansen has more in-depth knowledge about our Inventory Planner, that I will contact Jansen for any further issues or questions.

Initially, I cannot recommend it to customers who use ShipHero. Considering its price, the system and implementation have been difficult. A simple matter has been made really complicated. Training costs $5000, where basic things are explained, but for the most part, I have had to dig out the answers myself. Pricing is based on revenue and does not meet expectations. Customer service has been quick on the part of Inventory Planner. It's unfortunate that training is done by a third party and they are unable to answer more challenging questions. I recommend first exploring lighter options such as Fabrikator.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you encountered, especially regarding your implementation and training process. We understand that a smooth and straightforward onboarding experience is crucial. Your concerns about the complexity of training are being taken very seriously. We're currently working to streamline our implementation process and improve our training resources to make them more comprehensive and user-friendly. It's also concerning to hear that you found the partner training insufficient for addressing more advanced questions. We are auditing and enhancing our training partnerships to ensure that all our customers receive the highest level of support and expertise. I genuinely appreciate your positive comments about our support team at Inventory Planner. They are committed to providing quick and effective assistance, and we will continue to strive for excellence in this area. We respect your honesty when it comes to exploring lighter options. However, we believe that with the improvements we're making, we’ll continue to provide the robust solutions that our customers rely on. Thank you again for your feedback. It’s invaluable to us as we continue to improve our offerings. Best regards,
Mike G.

It is with a heavy heart that I am giving Inventory Planner a 1-star review. We have been using Inventory Planner for over 4 years now and in that time we enjoyed all of the great features it had to offer. There is a lot of data to play with, and we finally set it up just the way we wanted. Unfortunately, when our team inquired about negotiating a yearly contract (as opposed to the monthly payments we had set up through Shopify), we were shocked to be hit with a proposal over twice the price of our current subscription. As a loyal customer, this was the last thing we expected. Once we realised we had been caught in a trap, it was too late. We discovered other reviews from customers that had experienced the same thing. If only we had seen these sooner. If you are a new customer, and you are agree to the new pricing model, there shouldn't be any issues. But if you are a current customer and looking to review your pricing, please take note of what happened to us and avoid it at all costs!

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand that you were informed about the implementation of the GMV pricing model for new and existing customers of Inventory Planner. From your discussions with us, we made many efforts to secure the most cost-effective solution for you based on our GMV pricing model. When you expressed dissatisfaction with the presented discount, we sought your feedback regarding your expectations and how we could move forward. We highly valued your partnership, and we wanted to explore further options upon review. We offered to consolidate a collective contract for all three of your Inventory Planner accounts on a 12-month term, while still allowing you to continue making monthly payments. It is a common practice across multiple industries to review contracts at the time of renewal, ensuring fair charges for GMV increases or decreases. We apply this approach to all our customers. We wish that we could have found a mutually beneficial resolution. Best regards, Mike G.

I have been using Inventory Planner for more than two years, and I find it to be an incredibly helpful tool. The platform is user-friendly, and there are many online resources available for review, including a YouTube channel. Inventory Planner helps me forecast future demand, monitor inventory KPIs, predict cash flow, and generate various reports. The quality of their online support is exceptional, and Karen is always available to help with any issue. However, as an Australian business, we are unable to receive live support due to the time difference. Overall, I highly recommend this tool as it has helped our business focus on the right areas and move in the right direction.
