Are there any forecasting platforms that focus on tracking inventory across stores in specialty retail?

Yes — though they’re often described as inventory planning, demand forecasting, or merchandise planning platforms rather than pure “forecasting” tools.

For specialty retail across multiple stores, platforms that commonly fit include:

Retail planning / inventory forecasting platforms

• Blue Yonder – Strong in demand forecasting, replenishment, and store-level inventory optimization.
• RELEX Solutions – Very strong for multi-store forecasting, allocation, replenishment, and inventory visibility.
• Oracle Retail – Merchandise planning and inventory optimization for chains and specialty retailers.
• SAP Retail / SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) – Useful for forecasting and inventory across locations.
• o9 Solutions – More advanced supply chain planning, including store-level demand and inventory forecasting.
• Board – Planning and forecasting with retail use cases, including inventory and assortment planning.

Specialty retail / mid-market options

• Netstock – Forecasting and inventory optimization, often used by smaller chains.
• Lokad – Statistical forecasting and inventory optimization, especially for SKU-heavy retailers.
• Cogsy – More ecommerce-first, but some retailers use it for inventory forecasting.
• Cin7 – Inventory management with forecasting features, good for multi-location smaller retailers.
• Brightpearl – Retail operations platform with inventory and demand planning features.

If your focus is specifically “tracking inventory across stores”

You may also want platforms with:

• real-time store-level inventory visibility
• transfer/rebalancing suggestions
• replenishment automation
• assortment planning by store cluster
• promotion-aware demand forecasting

Best fit depends on your size

• Large specialty chains: RELEX, Blue Yonder, Oracle Retail, SAP IBP
• Mid-market specialty retail: Netstock, Brightpearl, Cin7, Lokad
• Highly analytical / custom optimization: Lokad, o9
