Inventory forecast for Magento 2 (Please leave in Business)?
Discussion
Since there are quite a few people on here who have (or had) Magento 2 sites, does anyone know of a M2 module that can be installed for forecasting inventory levels to alert when a product is going to go out of stock based on the lead time defined against the product?
I'd also need it to deal with basic supplier management, purchase orders sent to suppliers and goods received/shipments.

Does it have to be within M2 itself?
I looked at most of the inventory module offerings on M2 and none of them seemed to do everything needed. They all seem relatively basic.
We use Linnworks which does everything you need and more. It’s not the cheapest but it’s been worth every penny for us so far. Saving lots of time as our order volume increases and even keeping on top of PO’s is easier now.

Yea, I've already suggested the likes on Linnworks, BrightPearl, etc. But they quibbling over the cost of a £300 module and wanting to find something cheaper. 
I don't think they want something too complicated, but the forecasting of when they'll run out of stock based on lead times is something they'd really like to have (as opposed to just an alert when stock hits a limit) - but it seems that none of the cheaper modules do this.
And yes, they'd prefer to have it all within M2. I think they're going to have to re-evaluate their budget at least, but budget aside I couldn't find any M2 modules that did inventory forecasting in that way.
