How it sells itself

Alertr 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.

Built for Stocky users, Kestori sends a daily low-stock digest that uses recent sales velocity instead of static thresholds, so reorder timing follows how each SKU is selling. Familiar fields for SKU, inventory on hand, days left, and suggested reorder quantity keep the migration simple. The forecast is directional and should be reviewed before ordering.

Key points
  • Daily inventory sync with daily sell rates calculated from your Shopify orders
  • Email and Slack alerts when stock drops below your thresholds
  • Set days until delivery, stock buffer, and reorder amounts per product
  • Dashboard with search, filters, and CSV export
  • Daily digest ranks low-stock SKUs by urgency.
  • Reorder points adjust by velocity, lead time, and safety buffer.
  • Stocky-style SKU, on-hand, days-left, and reorder fields.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
