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.
Foreshelf forecasts demand from your sales history and tells you what to reorder, how much, and when — with the reasoning shown: "Sells 5/day, 12 days left, 14-day lead time → reorder 90 now." Forecasts adjust for trend and seasonality. Reorder by supplier, raise purchase orders, receive by barcode, get email or Slack alerts, and track dead stock, turnover and sell-through.
