Inventory Planner Forecasting

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.

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.

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.

Inventory Planner is good for stock forecasting and it's good to have a function to integration Amazon and manage the Amazon FBA PO in one app.

The main reason I'm giving 5 stars is due to the outstanding support that Jasper has provided! It's really good to have someone that cares and it's so keen to help when you come across with any issues with the App
