Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSee what to reorder next, and what's already tying up cash. apples reads your products, inventory and sales history to show how fast each product — and each size — actually sells, how many days of stock you hold, and how much cash sits in items that aren't moving. It then suggests reorder quantities that account for lead time, seasonality and markdown risk, and helps you allocate your buy budget across categories.
Stop under-ordering your best sellers. Most tools treat stockouts as zero demand, messing up your future forecasts. Monocle automatically detects out-of-stock days and corrects your data, factoring in trends and seasonality to show true demand. Our ML analyzes 3 years of store history on day one to automate purchase orders with lead times and safety stock built in.
