Skuvelo vs Skubana
Why pick Skuvelo over Skubana?
Skuvelo dates every open purchase order's cash from supplier payment terms and warns before an order takes cash below today's balance, a launch plan you type drives a new item's buy before it has sales history, and it publishes one organization price instead of quoting.
Where Skuvelo is ahead
Published price
Skuvelo: $59.99 a month, published ($599.90 a year billed annually, 2 months free). Skubana: quote only.
Works with no history
Skuvelo: the weekly launch plan you type becomes the forecast and drives the buy. Skubana: no published merchant-typed launch plan that drives the buy.
Plan vs actuals
Skuvelo: named causes: stock-limited weeks, your own plan, a new forecast version, a price change, or no forecast. Skubana: no published plan vs actuals with named causes.
Cash by payment terms

Skubana: neither a published warning at approval when an order would take cash below today's balance nor cash dated from supplier payment terms.
Move stock before buying

Published pricing
Can a buyer understand the subscription cost before a call?
- Skuvelo
- One flat price per organization: $59.99/month, or $599.90/year billed annually: 2 months free (12 months for the price of 10).
Team access
How does adding teammates affect the subscription?
- Skuvelo
- Organization pricing with unlimited users and no per-seat charge.
- Skubana

- A sample workspace and supported file workflows get you started without a consulting project.
- Skubana

Works with no history
Can a new product get a buy from a launch plan, with no sales history?
- Skuvelo
- With under eight weeks of history, the weekly launch plan you type becomes the forecast and drives the buy. No plan, no buy.
- Skubana
- Forecasts are built from sales velocity, growth and lead time; a merchant-typed launch plan for products with no sales history is not shown.Source
Plan vs actuals
Does it show what sold against the plan, and why it was off?
- Skuvelo
- Plan vs actuals in money, with named causes: stock-limited weeks, your own plan, a new forecast version, a price change, or no forecast.
- Skubana
- Plan vs actuals with named causes is not shown on Extensiv's demand forecasting page.Source
Cash by payment terms
Does purchase cash leave the plan on the dates supplier terms require, with a warning at approval when an order would take cash below today's balance?
- Skuvelo
- Open purchase orders are dated from supplier payment terms: each deposit and balance leaves the cash plan on the day it is due. Approving a purchase order that would take cash below today's balance in the next 13 weeks shows a warning naming the week and the shortfall; it never blocks the approval.
- Skubana
- Cash dated from supplier payment terms, or a warning at approval when an order would take cash below today's balance, is not shown on Extensiv's demand forecasting page.Source
Move stock before buying
Does the plan fill a short warehouse from spare stock before it recommends a buy?
- Skuvelo
- A warehouse below its reorder point is filled first from another warehouse holding spare stock on the shelf; the plan then says what to buy.
- Skubana
- Rebalancing stock between warehouses is documented; filling a short warehouse from spare stock before recommending a buy is not shown.Source
Forecast guidance
Does the product explain demand risk and planning inputs?
- Skuvelo
- Explainable forecast ranges, assumptions, demand risk, and operator guidance are visible in the product.

Replenishment
Does it guide what and when to reorder?

- Recommended reorder quantity, timing, cash context, and human review are built in.
- Skubana
- Purchase orders trigger automatically as supply hits the thresholds you set, for you to review and approve.Source
Purchase orders
Can a recommendation move into a purchasing workflow?
- Skuvelo
- Draft, approval, receiving, and audit-oriented purchasing workflows are built in.
- Skubana
- Purchase orders are generated from reorder thresholds and approved by the user.Source
Available-to-promise
Can you see what's sellable now, including inbound stock?
- Skuvelo
- Available-to-promise shows on-hand, allocated, and credibly-inbound quantity with an earliest-fulfillment date.

Questions teams ask first
How does Skubana pricing work?
Skubana is now Extensiv Order Manager, and extensiv.com publishes no price: pricing is quoted after a demo, with an expert-led implementation. Skuvelo is $59.99 per organization per month, published, with a 14-day trial and no card.
How to use Skubana for purchasing, and how is Skuvelo different?
In Extensiv Order Manager, formerly Skubana, you forecast demand, set reorder points and raise purchase orders inside an order management system that routes orders across 100+ shopping carts. Skuvelo starts from cash: it dates every open purchase order's cash from supplier payment terms and warns before an order would overdraw today's cash balance.
Is Skuvelo a Skubana alternative?
Yes, for brands whose question is what to buy and when they can afford it. Skuvelo plans purchasing against cash, and a launch plan you type drives the first buy for a product with no sales history. Extensiv Order Manager is stronger on order routing and fulfilment automation across many carts; order management is not Skuvelo's focus.
