Inventory Planning Software in India: 9 Tools Ranked

• Arka Inventory is the best inventory planning software for Indian manufacturers and distributors who want purchase planning tied to orders, warehouses and costs.
• Three of the eight alternatives (Fishbowl, Unleashed, Cin7 Core) put forecasting behind a higher plan or a paid add-on.
• Zoho Inventory is the option with published rupee prices, from ₹999 a month on yearly billing as of October 2026.
• Run six tests on your own data before paying: plan fit, committed orders, lead times, minimum order quantities, stock accuracy and total yearly cost.

If stockouts come from long supplier lead times and from orders you have already accepted, you need reorder rules that count open orders and incoming stock. If demand swings by season across many products, you need statistical forecasting.

Two terms matter here. A reorder point is the stock level at which you place a new order; our reorder point formula and safety stock calculation show how to set it. Lead time is the number of days between placing a purchase order and receiving the goods.

For available stock, see Salesforce inventory management.

A new product has no sales history to forecast from. Plan it from orders and supplier lead times until it has a season behind it.

As of October 2026, three of the eight alternatives put statistical demand forecasting behind a higher plan or a paid add-on: Fishbowl, Unleashed and Cin7 Core. Each price below is the vendor's list price.

• Fishbowl: Essentials at $229 a month has reorder points; demand forecasting is an add-on on Growth ($429 a month) and included on Scale ($729 a month). $729 × 12 = $8,748 a year, about 3.2 times Essentials ($229 × 12 = $2,748).
• Unleashed: forecasting comes through the Advanced Inventory Manager add-on at $149 a month, included free on Pro, which costs $8,019 on annual billing.
• Cin7 Core: Pro is $599 a month, so $599 × 12 = $7,188 a year, before the separately priced forecasting add-on.

These are our calculations from list prices, not quotes. Three of the eight tools charge extra for forecasting, so check the tier before you buy it.
