Prediko vs. Supremo

Forecasting & reorder logic

Purchase orders

Both apps let you create, send, and track purchase orders from inside Shopify. Prediko adds PO financing as a built-in option, letting merchants fund inventory purchases through the platform. Supremo lets you create a PO, assign it to a vendor, send a PDF copy by email, then mark it received in full or partially, close, cancel, duplicate, or export to CSV — a complete PO lifecycle without a financing layer.

Supplier / vendor management

Supremo lets you maintain a full supplier list with contact details and lead times, and assign multiple vendors to a single product with individual lead times per vendor, feeding directly into that product's reorder point calculation. Prediko supports supplier management as part of its planning workflow, but its documentation describes this at a less granular per-vendor-lead-time level than Supremo's explicit per-vendor field.

Raw materials & Bill of Materials (BOM)

Prediko supports raw materials tracking and BOM planning, letting manufacturers forecast component-level demand rather than just finished-good SKUs. Supremo operates at the Shopify product/variant level and does not offer a BOM layer — a meaningful gap for merchants who manufacture rather than resell.

Transfers between locations

Both apps support inventory transfers between Shopify locations. Supremo lets you create tracked transfer orders, submit, receive, and duplicate them, with every movement recorded and reflected in Shopify inventory. Prediko's transfer capability sits inside its broader multi-location and multi-store planning tools.

Receiving

Supremo supports marking purchase orders received in full or in part, updating Shopify inventory accordingly. Prediko's receiving workflow is integrated with its broader PO and forecasting cycle, feeding received quantities back into its demand model for future recommendations.

Reorder points

This is the core philosophical split between the two apps. Supremo publishes a fixed, auditable formula merchants can verify by hand. Prediko's reorder recommendations come from a trained model that can factor in more variables (seasonality curves, launch comparisons) but doesn't expose its exact weighting, trading transparency for potentially higher accuracy on complex demand patterns.

Multi-location support

Both apps track inventory levels and reorder points across every Shopify location. Supremo lets you choose which locations to include in reorder calculations and stock monitoring. Prediko extends this further to multi-store management, spanning entirely separate Shopify instances, not just locations within one store.

Reporting

Prediko ships with 20+ customizable inventory report templates, aimed at operationally complex, higher-volume brands. Supremo ships with 8 standard reports — Inventory Valuation, Dead Stock, ABC Analysis, Stock Movement, Vendor Performance, Purchase Order History, Reorder Analysis, and Stocktake Variance — all CSV-downloadable for any date range, included on every plan.

Automation & sync

On install, Supremo imports the full Shopify catalog — products, variants, vendors, inventory levels, and order history — then keeps everything in sync via real-time webhooks as orders are placed and fulfilled. Prediko similarly connects to Shopify's data but layers its forecasting engine on top, typically alongside a personalized onboarding session on paid plans to configure the forecast parameters correctly.

Integrations

Prediko advertises 100+ integrations with WMS and 3PL platforms, aimed at brands with external warehouse or fulfillment systems. Supremo is Shopify-native and does not currently integrate with external WMS or 3PL software, operating entirely within Shopify's inventory and location model.

Ease of use & onboarding

Supremo is built for self-serve setup: install, and reorder points start calculating immediately from existing Shopify order history, with no onboarding call required. Prediko's paid plans include a personalized onboarding session, useful for merchants who want expert help configuring a more complex forecasting setup, at the cost of an extra step before the app is fully running.

Customer support

Both vendors offer support through the Shopify App Store's standard review and messaging channels. Prediko's personalized onboarding session on paid plans typically includes a support contact for setup questions specific to configuring forecasts and BOM structures. Supremo's simpler feature surface means most support questions are answerable directly from in-app help text and documentation without needing a scheduled call, though complex vendor-lead-time setups may still benefit from direct support contact.

Scalability

Prediko's revenue-based pricing model scales naturally with a brand's growth trajectory but means the subscription cost rises even if the product catalog itself stays flat, which matters for high-revenue, low-SKU brands. Supremo's catalog-based pricing means the cost only rises when the number of products or variants grows, which can be more predictable for brands with stable catalogs experiencing revenue growth from existing SKUs rather than new-product expansion. Neither model is universally cheaper; the right one depends on whether a brand's growth is driven more by revenue-per-SKU or by SKU-count expansion.

Shopify integration depth

Both apps embed directly in the Shopify admin and read from Shopify's native product, variant, and order data rather than requiring a separate product catalog to be maintained. Supremo additionally writes stocktake adjustments directly back into Shopify's inventory levels, keeping Shopify as the single source of truth for on-hand quantities. Prediko's forecasting layer reads from the same underlying Shopify data to generate its demand plans and PO recommendations.
