<h2>Automate inventory replenishment</h2>
<p>Manual inventory management is time-consuming and error-prone.</p>
<p>Shelf Planner automates the entire replenishment process, generating <strong>ready-to-send purchase orders</strong> based on your suppliers’ lead times and your store’s sales trends. You can review and approve orders in seconds, or let the system handle it for you. With Shelf Planner, you can save <strong>5–10 hours per week</strong> on mind-numbing, manual re-ordering, so you can focus on growing your business instead of managing spreadsheets.</p>

<h2>Simplify sourcing and production with Bill of Materials (BOM)</h2>
<p>Tracking components for assembled products shouldn’t be complicated.</p>
<p>Shelf Planner’s <strong>Bill of Materials (BOM)</strong> automatically links finished goods to their parts, so you always know what’s needed and when.</p>
<p>Define component relationships, track usage in real time, and let the system handle reordering. No more manual calculations or stockouts, just smoother production and fewer headaches.</p>

<h2>Optimize your assortment</h2>
<p>Not all products contribute equally to your profits.</p>
<p>Shelf Planner’s <strong>ABC Analysis</strong> identifies your top-performing items (the 20% driving 80% of your revenue) and helps you prioritize them. You’ll see which products to stock more of, which to phase out, and how to balance your inventory for <strong>maximum sell-through and profitability</strong>. This data-driven approach ensures you’re always investing in what matters most.</p>

<h2>Automate your purchasing process</h2>
<p>Shelf Planner lets you store all your supplier information such as lead times, payment terms, and order history in one place.</p>
<p>When it’s time to reorder, the system <strong>automatically generates purchase orders</span></strong> tailored to each supplier’s requirements. This eliminates manual errors, speeds up ordering, and ensures you never miss a delivery deadline.</p>
<p>Plus, you can place orders directly from the program, making your entire buying process faster and more efficient. Nice.</p>

<h3>How does it work?</h3>
<p>Using machine learning and advanced forecasting logic, <strong>Inventory Management for WooCommerce</strong> predicts and recommends how much to order for all products every day of the week.</p>
<h3>Sales go up</h3>
<p>Understock situations lead to missed sales opportunities. With smart inventory practices, you can keep products in stock and increase sales opportunities.</p>
<h3>Profits go up</h3>
<p>Overstock situations reduce profits if they cause product values to fall and force markdowns and clearances. Avoiding overstock situations and selling products at optimal prices increases your net margin.</p>

Inventory Management

<p>Optimize your inventory, predict customer demand, automate stock replenishment, and manage purchase orders.</p>

<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Manage all RMA, warranty, and return requests from a single view in the store administration.</li>
<li>Define warranty terms for products – set expiration periods for limited warranties.</li>
<li>Manage automated email communications during each change in return status.</li>
<li>Maintain free or paid extended warranties for products and variations.</li>
<li>Create your own warranty statuses, and manage the statuses for all return requests.</li>

<h2>RMA Management — Manage, Sell, Facilitate Easy Returns and Warranties</h2>
<p>Manage the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) process, add warranty terms to your products, and allow your customers to request and manage returns and exchanges directly from their user accounts.</p>
<p>When setting up your products, warranties can be assigned to the product or variation directly from the edit product screens. Define warranty or return time periods, give it a price, and update/save your product. Warranties are tied directly to the product themselves – when the warranty expires, so does the ability for the user to request a warranty, return, or exchange.</p>
