What merchants praise

“This app is a must have for any E-commerce store. We tried it out on one of our several stores and are now using it for every store. Shopify is missing so many aspects to properly plan, merchandise or buy and Inventory planner picks up the slack, making a huge difference with proper inventory levels and stock oversight.”

What merchants complain about

“Inventory Planner was great before it was acquired by Bright Pearl. Now they are trying to lock their loyal customers into contract with terrible customer service and little feature updates. If you don't currently use this app, I don't recommend them. Bright Pearl is a terrible parent company. Try something like Cogsy.”
