Difficult to cancel subscription - I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription. They make it a giant pain in the butt. They asked a lot of questions. I’ll never subscribe again.

Complex, but simple! - After a long search and a couple of failed attempts to get inventory planning right, I finally came across Inventory Planner. We had a couple of issues with the BC integration, but IP got everything resolved. Now we have an inventory system that we can trust. It was very powerful to walk through how the calculations are done so that we could trust the final numbers, which we have never been able to do! The training was key, so many partners have a great tool, but no training. With the training we received we feel confident that we can really leverage all of IPs the amazing tools. Finally, the data is complex, but managing it is so simple, something we thought we would never find. Give IP a shot, I really think you will be very pleased!

Complex - I've been interested in Inventory Planner a few times and recently took it for another trial and had an online demo.Firstly, IP is very powerful. If you want data at a macro level this is your tool. It's very powerful and I can see it being a great asset for many businesses.However, be prepared to become a data scientist! This is where the main issues start for me. It's so complex that it's hard to see the wood from the trees. Now, granted, I'm perhaps just a bit thick but I just did not know where to look and it's too overwhelming hitting you with too much data crammed into one screen. While my 30 minute demo was interesting I didn't really feel support bothered to engage with me and when my trial ended there was no follow up. Unfortunately, quite a bit of the forecasting data was just wrong. Again, there are too many variables and it seems this app needs a lot of tweaking to get it running correctly. It certainly wasn't something I could rely on from day one. I really think a 'Lite' more affordable version could be a real winner. I'm a simple retailer not a data scientist. The other area where it falls down is while it has a Purchase Order facility it doesn't have any facility to handle the actual practical side of receiving the stock from a supplier. No barcode scanning to confirm correct items received and no bin locations to know where to put them. Sure, it's not a warehouse management tool but I kinda think if you're going to do purchase orders you ought to be able to actually help when the stock comes in. Great tool for some I am sure but too complex for little old me. As I say, a lite version could be a real winner!

Outstanding Features and Support - We have used this app for a year now, to help manage procurement at two stores with 1400 and 700 products respectively. It is incredibly power and well thought out, and we use features like 'warehouse transfer' to share stock between two warehouses. The different view of what needs to be purchased, or what is overstocked is so valuable and time saving, and is only scratching the surface of what this can do. Support has been consistently excellent, and the staff have often made small custom changes to suit our needs! We have needed guidance on how to use some of the powerful features, but their support has been prompt and thorough. Highly recommended!!

Great App - Great app. We have about 10 frequently purchased from suppliers. Inventory planner helps us order what we need, but not what we don't. It is what a good purchasing system should be. Create and receive PO's as well as track inventory. You can create an inventory valuation for any date in the past, making end of the year valuation a snap. They are very responsive to changes as well.

Great App - We have over 1000 products, so it is very hard to keep track of inventory. Inventory Planner has revolutionized our ordering system. It takes awhile to set up but when it's set up right it works wonders. We fill out invoices for suppliers in one click now. What use to take 8 hours now takes 30 minutes.

Best app of all time. Yes, really -

Consider me an evangelist for Inventory Planner. This is honestly the best program out of any our company uses. Hands down, no contest. They are THE BEST. 

The services provided by Inventory Planner replace what would otherwise take at least a full-time person (on a very small team) to do not even half as well. Our inventory control is on point. We now carry half of the inventory on hand compared to what we had 9 months ago because we can see what we will really need and focus on those SKUs rather than being overstocked in variants and products that won't move as well.

Not only that, but the Inventory Planner team is so quick to make improvements (ranging from 10 minutes to a max of 2 days from suggestion to implementation) that they put all other companies to shame. I've suggested at least a dozen tweaks to them including some that were just 'wish list' items. They've implemented all of them and done so most times the same day. 

Do yourself a favor and install this app.
