OrderBee

What OrderBee is

OrderBee is a web-based inventory planning service for small product brands selling through Shopify, wholesale or B2B channels. It forecasts demand 12 weeks ahead and updates forecasts daily, then recommends what to reorder, how much and when. Buy plans calculate quantities, timing and safety stock for each SKU using supplier lead times and whole-case rounding. Alerts identify items below their reorder point and show suggested quantities alongside projected stockout dates. Shopify orders, products, current stock and sales history can sync automatically in one click; Moneybird, WeFact, Huboo and CSV files are other input options. Amazon sales can currently be uploaded by CSV, while direct Amazon connectivity is planned and Exact Online is on the roadmap. Starter costs €49 a month, billed monthly and excluding 21% VAT, for up to 10 SKUs, one forecast plan, Shopify sync and email support. Growth costs €99 a month on the same billing basis, with unlimited SKUs and forecast plans, wholesale and B2B channels, and priority support. There is no free plan or trial. OrderBee says it hosts data in the EU and is GDPR compliant.

Who it suits

It suits small product brands that need reorder guidance and sell through Shopify, wholesale or B2B channels. Starter has a 10-SKU limit; brands needing unlimited SKUs can consider Growth.

Limits

Starter is limited to 10 SKUs and one forecast plan, and includes Shopify sales sync and email support. Growth costs €99 a month, billed monthly and excluding 21% VAT; it adds unlimited SKUs and forecast plans, wholesale and B2B channels, and priority support. There is no free plan or trial.

Getting started

1. Go to https://www.orderbee.io/.
2. Sign up for OrderBee; users can self-sign up.
3. Choose Starter or Growth based on SKU and channel needs.
4. Connect Shopify for an automatic one-click sync, or import sales and inventory from Moneybird, WeFact, Huboo or CSV files.
5. Upload Amazon sales by CSV if needed. Direct Amazon connectivity is planned.

Verdict

OrderBee links demand forecasts to SKU-level reorder plans and stockout alerts, with Shopify sync and several import options. There is no free trial, and Starter’s SKU ceiling and the VAT exclusion are worth weighing against Growth’s broader allowance.
