Logistified vs Inventory Planner
Inventory Planner (by Sage) is a long-standing, analytics-deep forecasting and replenishment tool with strong multi-channel support. Logistified is a Shopify-native alternative that adds AI-agent (MCP) control, constraint-based purchase optimization and supplier returns — at a fraction of the price ($12 vs $120/mo).
