Inventory Planning: AI Visibility Ranking

Demand forecasting and inventory optimization for commerce brands. Right now, Inventory Planner is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 59 and the #1 spot in 36% of answers. Head-to-head: Inventory Planner vs Stocky →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

Inventory Planner dominates; four brands split scraps unevenly.

Inventory Planner is the default answer across all three models, appearing in 72% of responses and taking the top pick slot 36% of the time, roughly five times the rate of its nearest competitors. Stocky, Cin7, Netstock, and Blue Yonder all cluster between scores of 21 and 26, but they get there through wildly different model profiles. Netstock is a telling case: ChatGPT scores it at 53 while Claude gives it a 4, suggesting the brand has real presence with one model and almost none with another.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Lokad (9.3), Flieber (9.2), Slimstock (8.6), SAP (8.1), Skubana (7.9). 85 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 41/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
