Prediko Help for Shopify: Inventory Forecasting and Purchase Orders

Prediko's forecasts are only as good as what goes in. That is where most of the paid hours go.

Supplier lead times, entered properly. Loading every supplier with the lead time you actually experience, so reorder alerts fire when a PO needs to leave, not when the shelf is empty.

Checking the sales history first. Spotting stockout weeks, one-off wholesale orders and retired variants that would skew a forecast by product, SKU and season, and agreeing how to treat them before anyone reorders from it.

Purchase orders from the buying table. Bulk PO creation mapped to the right supplier and receiving location, with a routine for who reviews the buying table each week.

Bundles and raw materials. Bundle inventory, plus BOM tracking through the raw materials add-on, so component stock drives finished-goods planning for brands that make their own products.

Location top-ups. Min/max levels per location that drive transfers between a warehouse and retail stores. Broader stock-control work suits inventory management specialists.

3PL, WMS and channel connections. Linking a warehouse system, Amazon, Faire or Etsy so all demand reaches one plan. Complex stacks belong with ERP and backend integration specialists.

Try the vendor's onboarding first. Prediko lists setup support during the trial and a personalized onboarding session. One store with a short supplier list can often finish there.

Good inventory planners talk about cash before they talk about forecasts. Ask how their setup changes what you spend on stock.

Bring a stockout you regret. Ask how they would have caught it in Prediko: which alert, which lead time, which reorder point. Specific answers beat talk about AI.

Listen for questions about your history. A strong candidate asks when you were out of stock, ran promotions or sold wholesale before trusting any forecast.

Makers: ask about BOMs. If you sell kits or make your own goods, ask for an example of components planned through the BOM add-on.

Agree who maintains it. Forecasts drift when lead times change. Settle who updates supplier data each month and who signs off purchase orders.

Proposals that overpromise. Guaranteed percentage cuts in stockouts or overstock, or a plan that skips supplier data because the AI will cover it.

Use the trial as the test. Pay for one supplier set up end to end within the 14-day trial: lead times, reorder alerts and a first PO you would actually send.

Revenue sets the price. As of October 2026, Starter is $49 a month up to $100K, Scale-up $119 up to $500K and Growth $199 up to $2M, measured on GMV over the last 12 months. Above $2M, Enterprise pricing comes from the vendor's calculator.

No caps on users or SKUs. Starter, Scale-up and Growth list unlimited users, SKUs and inventory alerts, so a bigger catalog doesn't change the bill.

BOMs cost extra. Raw materials forecasting and BOMs are a $20 add-on on the pricing page. Budget for it if you manufacture.

Billing goes through Shopify. Charges run monthly through Shopify Billing, and annual plans come with two months free.

Plans and channels covered. The vendor lists Shopify Basic, Advanced and Plus, plus Shopify POS and B2B. Amazon, Faire, Etsy, Xero and QuickBooks appear among the integrations, with more than 100 WMS and 3PL connections.

Reports and counts. More than 20 customizable inventory reports from Starter up, plus stock takes and barcode labels. An MCP connection is listed for Enterprise and above.

Ten interface languages. Including German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian and Swedish, which helps teams that buy outside English.

All 4 profiles list store setup and management, and three of the four add AI and emerging tech, a sensible pairing for an AI forecasting tool.
