Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAlertr calculates how quickly every SKU is selling using your real Shopify order data, then estimates when each item will run out. Set your lead time, safety stock runway, and per-SKU multipliers to see exactly what to reorder and how much. Get daily email or Slack alerts when stock drops below your thresholds. Filter by out-of-stock, low stock, or needs-reorder, and export to CSV.
Most merchants discover dead stock months too late. Standard stock alerts warn you when items are running low — but stay silent when items stop selling. Dead Stock Alerter scans every variant nightly and classifies each SKU as healthy, slow-moving, critical, or dead based on sales velocity.
