How we ranked these

We ranked tools by how much of the inventory planning job their AI covers, from enterprise planning platforms to small-business apps, using each maker’s own pages, then by published price. Cogsy, on the old list, has been discontinued, and Kinaxis and Oracle NetSuite were replaced because we could not source their AI inventory claims and a clean official product image. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
