Prediko alternative: when stock and cash belong together

// tl;dr

Prediko is an active Shopify app with AI demand forecasting, unlimited purchase orders and multi-location support. Keel HQ doesn't compete on forecasting: it uses a trailing 90-day pace and puts purchase order payments into a 14-week cash forecast. Pick Prediko for forecasting depth; pick Keel HQ when the question is how a reorder affects your cash.

Everything about Prediko below comes from its Shopify App Store listing (Prediko Inventory Management, accessed 2026-10-30). Check it for current plans.

Moving over

Keel HQ reads files you export from Prediko. There is no live connection to it. Nothing here is imported until you review it.

01Add your suppliers first
Keel HQ's file presets don't read supplier payment terms, so start from a spreadsheet of your suppliers. Open Inventory → Settings, find the Suppliers card and click Import. Choose Your own spreadsheet: Suppliers, with Supplier name, Lead time (days), MOQ, Currency, Payment terms and Email. Review, then click Import. Each imported purchase order copies its supplier's payment terms, and those payments feed the cash forecast.
02Import your open purchase orders
In Prediko, open Orders, set Group by: Orders, select the open POs and choose Export › Excel.
In Keel HQ, open Inventory → POs and click Import, which opens Inventory → Import. Under What is this file? choose Prediko purchase orders (Excel), click Choose file, check the Columns card, then Review import. The preset reads the PO's Payments column as the amount already paid, so those payments come in marked paid and stay out of the cash forecast. Orders that are received in full or cancelled are left out. Check the ticked Paid already boxes before you import.
Check the columns
The Prediko presets weren't built from a real export. They match common header names, so confirm each mapping in the Columns card before you review. Nothing saves until you click Import on the review. Importing the same file again adds nothing twice.
03Import supplier, lead time and MOQ per SKU
In Prediko, open the Inventory (Buy) table, show the SKU, Supplier, Lead Time Days and MOQ columns under Manage columns, then Export. In Keel HQ, on Inventory → Import, choose Prediko inventory table (Excel). SKUs that aren't in your catalog are left out and listed.
04Check the reorder points
Reorder points are computed from the trailing 90-day sales pace unless you set a fixed one on the product. Open a product in Inventory → Catalog to see its Reorder Point and Reorder By.

What Keel HQ doesn't do

No AI or statistical demand forecasting.
No multi-location planning or bundle inventory.
No live connection to Prediko. You upload its exports. The import presets weren't built from a real export, so you confirm the column mapping each time.
Keel HQ is in private beta, with a waitlist.
