The app itself is helpful, but I've never seen slower support.
After our trial phase I wanted to sign up as paying customer and could not log in due to a technical issue being redirected constantly to the "end of trial" phase page.
No replies whatsoever from the support. Not what you expect from such an app.
Hi Maison,
Thank you for your feedback, I'm really pleased you find the app useful and you're looking to migrate from your trial to use the app as a paid-up customer.
Regarding the slow response times, due to your location, you were connected with one of our representatives in the UK. Looking at your conversation history your last message was late in the evening our time so she had finished work for the day. Since then we've reached out a few times, but have heard nothing back. Off the back of this review, my colleague has reached out again, hoping to make contact.
Hopefully we can connect with you as we'd love to welcome you as a customer and see you grow and thrive on Inventory Planner.

The software is very good. But they change price model for more than 3 times in last year and the support team are not good
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. Firstly, I'm glad that Inventory Planner is a good fit for your business on a software front.
Regarding the pricing model, we have gone through a few changes as we wanted to find one which most directly supports the growth of our customers. The one we've settled on is based on GMV rather than warehouses, SKUs, or anything else. So bigger the volume you put through, the more you use it, so the more you pay. To us that sounds fair and doesn't penalize our customers who have more warehouses or sell on more channels. After all, we want you to grow! :)
Your comment on our support team comes as a surprise as that's not in line with our usual feedback. For example, in the last three months they were rated 4/5 or 5/5 by 95% of our customers, so if you've had a bad experience, I'd really like to know more so we can look into it. Drop us a message and we'll do just that.
Thank you again for your feedback.

We have been using inventory planner for about 6 months now and I don't see how we can function without. There's a lot of functionality to this program and yes it will take a minute to get a good grasp on it but once you do, you'll be glad you are using it. There is good support documentation with videos and tech support has been great. The onboarding team is great as well. They know the software inside and out. It's extremely powerful. Inventory forecasting and planning is complicated in general so you need a software program that can handle it, and this one does the trick. It's not cheap, we spend $20K a year but it's worth it. Look at it as hiring a data analytics person on the team for 20K. Not only that, it will help you manage your inventory purchases, so you're not over or under ordering stock.
We have 13 retail locations and we use it extensively for generating stock transfers to our stores from our warehouse. No more guessing on how much inventory to send to a store. There is also a nice feature that will automatically generate stock transfers and purchases orders on a schedule you configure. I have it set to place them in draft mode and run weekly. Then I can approve or make edits to them before sending it to the warehouse to fill. This has saved us countless hours.
The support has been great too. There has been several times I need a certain functionality and they were able to accommodate it, not in every case but 90% of the time.
Just like any software, it's not 100% when forecasting, sometimes you need to use your judgement. The more data it collects over time, the smarter it gets.
The software is not for everyone but if you have multiple retail locations / warehouses or just need a better way to manage your inventory purchases so you aren't over stocking, then I would recommend checking this one out. It's a great way to help streamline your operations.
If they had inventory management or WMS tied into this, this would make it even more powerful.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for sparing the time to review us, we love hearing from our customers!
It's great to hear that Inventory Planner is working so well for your business by taking the guesswork out and saving you so much time - that's why we built the app so it's wonderful to read how well it's doing that.
It's fantastic to hear how well our support team has your back too, accommodating so many of your requests.
We do recommend another Sage platform which handles inventory management and warehouse fulfillment - Brightpearl - it pairs very well with Inventory Planner. Here's the link (brightpearl.com), we'll reach out to you too!
Thank you again,
