Tightly vs Prediko

Shopify forecasting, or the connected plan.

Prediko is a strong Shopify-native app — AI demand planning, purchase orders and replenishment for DTC brands. Tightly does the demand forecast too, and adds the top-down merchandise financial plan and open-to-buy that Prediko doesn't, sourced from your ERP, EDI, POS and WMS rather than Shopify alone.

Why teams switch

Keep what works. Lose what breaks.

01

The plan above the forecast

Prediko forecasts and reorders well for Shopify. What it doesn't hold is the top-down merchandise financial plan and open-to-buy. Tightly connects the forecast to the plan and the buy, on one number.

02

Sourced from your whole stack

Tightly reads ERP, EDI, POS and WMS, not Shopify alone — so wholesale, retail and marketplace demand each get their own signal instead of a single-channel view.

03

The next stage past the app tier

When a brand outgrows a single-channel inventory app, Tightly is the connected planning stack for that stage — MFP, OTB and assortment, not just replenishment.

It shows up in the numbers.

We scaled into a facility four times the size and expanded into entirely new categories — managing it all with the same lean team. Tightly didn't just automate our stock, it gave us the confidence to grow.
