About Inventoro

What Is Inventoro

Inventoro is demand forecasting software for stock planning. It started as a standalone SaaS product in 2020 and now runs inside Cin7. A Prague-based team built it for the kind of seller who tracks stock in spreadsheets and guesses at reorder quantities. The core promise is simple: show you what each product will sell in the coming months, then tell you what to buy this week.

The system leans on your own sales history. It pulls orders from a store, marketplace or accounting tool, builds a forecast for every SKU, and refreshes it every day. Those numbers feed a replenishment list with suggested order quantities, plus a segmentation view that flags fast movers, slow movers and dead stock. According to Cin7, sellers using the forecasting engine reach over 99% product availability and free up to 20% of inventory capital. Those figures come from the vendor, so treat them as marketing claims rather than independent benchmarks.

The important limit is availability. Cin7 acquired Inventoro in May 2024, and inventoro.com now redirects to the Cin7 site. You can't buy Inventoro as a separate subscription anymore. The forecasting engine is sold as an add-on to Cin7 plans under the ForesightAI Forecasting name, which means the product's future is tied to the parent platform.

Getting Started

  1. Check availability first. Ask Cin7 whether forecasting is offered on the plan you're considering, since the standalone Inventoro signup no longer exists.
  2. Connect your data. Link a sales channel such as Shopify, Amazon or WooCommerce, then add accounting data from QuickBooks if you want purchase and margin figures in the same place.
  3. Review the first forecast with real lead times. Set supplier lead times, minimum order quantities and safety stock so the suggestions match how you actually buy.
  4. Work the replenishment list each day. Accept, adjust or skip the recommended order quantities, then place the purchase orders with your suppliers.
  5. Track availability and tied-up cash month by month. The reports show what sold faster than forecast and where money is sitting in stock you don't need.

Key features

Daily Sales Forecasts by SKU

Inventoro rebuilds the forecast every day from your order history, so a sudden spike or a quiet week shows up in the plan quickly. Forecasts run months ahead and cover seasonal patterns, which is what most spreadsheet models miss. You can compare projected sales against actuals to see where the model drifts.

Replenishment Lists You Can Order From

The output isn't a chart you have to interpret. Each morning the system produces a list of products, suggested order quantities and the reasoning behind them, sorted by urgency. A buyer can approve the list, adjust a few lines and send purchase orders the same day. That turns inventory replenishment from a monthly project into a daily routine.

Product Segmentation and Dead Stock Analysis

Every item gets sorted by how fast it sells and how much profit it brings, which separates the products worth protecting from the ones tying up cash. The dead stock analysis flags items with no recent sales and shows the capital locked in them. For a catalog with thousands of SKUs, that list is usually the fastest source of freed-up cash.

Inventory Capital and Cash Flow View

The dashboard reports how much money sits in stock, how that number changes over time and what it costs to carry. You can model a purchasing decision before committing, which helps when a supplier offers a bulk discount. Finance and operations end up looking at the same numbers instead of two versions of the truth.

Connectors for Stores, Marketplaces and Accounting

The product syncs sales and stock data from Shopify, Shopify Plus, Amazon, WooCommerce and QuickBooks, and it plugs into Cin7's own inventory platform. Integrations run on scheduled syncs, so the forecast reflects yesterday's orders rather than live checkout events. For inventory planning for Shopify stores, the connector is the part that matters most, since orders and stock levels sync without manual exports. Sellers with custom systems usually need a CSV import or development work.

Unlimited Warehouses, SKUs and Users

Plans don't cap warehouses, SKUs, connections or user seats, which matters once a seller adds a second channel or a second location. Pricing historically scaled with annual turnover instead of catalog size, so a wide catalog with modest revenue wasn't penalized. That structure is now folded into Cin7's add-on pricing.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Forecasts refresh daily, so the reorder plan reacts to last week's sales instead of waiting for a monthly review.
  • The replenishment list works as a task queue, which makes the tool usable by a purchasing manager without a data analyst.
  • Segmentation and dead stock reporting point straight at the cash tied up in slow products.
  • No limits on warehouses, SKUs or users, so growth doesn't trigger a plan change on seat count.
  • The forecasting engine is now backed by Cin7, a larger vendor with an established inventory platform and support organization.

Cons

  • There is no standalone Inventoro subscription anymore, so new buyers have to adopt Cin7 to get the forecasting engine.
  • Pricing comes as a quote rather than a public price list, which makes budgeting harder before a sales call.
  • Accuracy depends on clean, long order history, and new products with no sales record get weak predictions until data accumulates.
  • Setup requires someone who understands lead times and safety stock, and a team without that knowledge will get poor suggestions from good software.

Frequently asked questions

It forecasts demand for each product and turns that forecast into a daily list of what to reorder. Sellers use it to avoid stockouts on fast movers and to stop overbuying slow ones.
