- Task
- AI demand forecasting, purchase orders, and multi-warehouse inventory planning
- Result
- "+40% Inventory Turnover Rate"; "20% stockout reduction"; single "Inventory Source of Truth"; replaced Inventory Planner
- Tools
- Prediko (Shopify inventory planning)
- Setup
- supplier info for POs
- product grouping by supplier
- advanced forecasting for replenishment across two warehouses
Step-by-step setup guide
Why this way: Prediko's case study (fashion, multi-warehouse on Shopify). Setup is mostly connect → configure lead times → trust the buying table.
Prerequisites
- A Shopify store (Basic/Advanced/Plus).
- Prediko installed from the Shopify App Store (14-day trial).
- Supplier lead times and MOQs written down.
- Time: 1–2 hours setup; a week of watching forecasts.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. In Shopify admin → Apps → search Prediko → install → connect your store.
Step 2. Set lead times, safety stock and warehouses/locations for each supplier.
Step 3. Open Prediko's forecast / buying table. Review suggested purchase orders; edit quantities before you send.
Step 4. Create POs from Prediko (or export) and send to suppliers your normal way.
Step 5. Weekly: check stockout alerts and adjust any SKU the AI keeps over-ordering (seasonality, one-off spikes).
What success looks like
One inventory source of truth; fewer surprise stockouts; POs take minutes instead of spreadsheet hours.
