Shelf Planner uses AI and machine learning to predict demand, automate replenishment, and optimize stock levels. Unlike basic inventory plugins, it doesn’t just track stock—it tells you what to order, when, and why, so you can reduce stockouts by 20% and overstock by 30%. ### What’s the difference between Shelf Planner and other WooCommerce Inventory plugins? Most inventory plugins only track stock levels or send basic alerts. Shelf Planner goes further by using machine learning to predict future demand, so you can: * **Reduce stockouts** by automatically ordering the right products at the right time. * **Improve sell-through** by focusing on fast-moving and high-margin items. * Cut overstock and **free up cash** tied to slow-moving inventory. * Prioritize products for maximum profit with **data-driven recommendations**. * Measure financial impact with **Net & Gross Profit Reports**, helping you grow margins and not just sales. Unlike other stock management tools, Shelf Planner doesn’t just show you what’s selling—it tells you what will sell and how to act on it. ### How can machine learning help me forecast inventory in WooCommerce? Shelf Planner’s uses machine learning and proprietary forecasting algorithms to analyze your historical sales data, seasonal trends, and market demand to predict how much stock you’ll need for each product – every day. Unlike static spreadsheets or guesswork, our models continuously learn and adapt to your store’s unique patterns. This means you automatically adjust orders based on real demand, so you always stock the right amount: no more missed sales from stockouts or wasted cash on overstocked items. ### Can I automate purchase orders with Shelf Planner? Shelf Planner integrates with your WooCommerce store and supplier data. After you set up lead times and order rules, the system generates precise purchase orders based on our predictive forecasts. You can review and send orders in seconds, but also fully automate the process. This eliminates manual errors and saves you about 5–10 hours per week on re-ordering tasks. We use a 2-way sync so your store stock is automatically updated when you complete your purchase orders in Shelf Planner. ### How can Shelf Planner help me reduce overstock and understock in my store? Overstock ties up your capital and forces discounting, while understock means lost sales. Shelf Planner’s predictive forecast, ABC Analysis and machine learning models focus on your most profitable products, ensuring optimal stock levels for each SKU. Stores using our tool typically cut overstock by 30% and boost sales by 20% by avoiding stockouts, all while saving hours on manual inventory checks. ### How long before I start seeing my sales forecast? Immediately, our dashboard provides real-time analytics. ### Is there a live, free demo available? You can start with a free 1-month trial and see if you like what we have to offer. ### How Do You Calculate My Store’s Sales Forecast? Our forecasting engine analyses your store’s historical and daily sales, in combination with our proprietary machine learning algorithms and external data. This is then translated into a daily sales forecast for all your products. ### Can I get help with setting the parameters for my store? Of course – we are friendly people, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us and ask for support, or if you have any idea on how we can make our products better. We also have a dedicated team for support and we’ll try our best to answer any questions or solve any problem you encounter. You can simply drop us a line at [support@shelfplanner.com](https://frp.wordpress.org/plugins/shelf-planner/service@shelfplanner.com?output_format=md) or find lots of tips and guides on our dedicated wiki site: [suppport.shelfplanner.com](https://support.shelfplanner.com) ### Can I get more frequent updates on my sales forecast than a weekly sales forecast? Yes, you can. The Sales Forecast is calculated with live data, but we update the sales forecast for your store only once per week, every Monday morning. However, if you want to update the forecast on demand, you can do this in the ‘Integrations’ and ‘Update Forecast Data’. ### I have installed the plugin and created an account, but my data is not syncing When your data is not synchronising, most likely your server settings are blocking the api from making the calls. Check with your system administrator to set up your store to allow for API calls. Our support team can help troubleshoot—contact us at support@shelfplanner.com. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5109246ca61c7bdf9188f734182a58ef47f3bbdb6fa8585f08e25ecd2e553ef0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Program and Support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-program-and-support-2/)󠁿 [Lina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/linuscan/) February 24, 2026 1 reply Great support and great program!

Highly recommended.Also, the support is super quick and very personal. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/407f551e7a78f6d78079e3388b68a15af19f577cf2dca72be271496d2a047dae? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[An example of service en devotion!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-example-of-service-en-devotion/)󠁿 [Martin Domburg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martin95/) July 8, 2025 1 reply These developers are truly an example to others! The support and service is just from another planet. I had some problems with synchronization and some wishes and they were immediately patched. Replies to emails are also answered in a very short time and with an outstanding and comprehensive explanation! Robert and his team are truly a breath of fresh air for the community! The plugin runs externally and is blazingly fast, the AI tool makes really good predictions and this is a tool you should not miss as an entrepreneur with a fickle market like mine. No more guessing what to buy in, what the market will look like in the coming months, just predictions based on historical sales figures on the period ahead. A long story, cut short: EXCELLENT ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/04aa279edee7966d26346dff19ef32d99d962c2871d0df3c4761084de09ef04e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Keep it up!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/keep-it-up-45/)󠁿 [Hannah](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hberner/) August 19, 2024 This plugin has saved us so much time to manage stock and reorder products- so much faster with almost no effort on our part.
