Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBackstockOps is built for teams that need more than purchase order creation. It keeps supplier records, SKU mappings, replenishment review, purchase orders, receiving, stock counts, Stocky migration, and operational reports together in one embedded workspace. Shopify remains the source of truth for products, variants, locations, and inventory quantities.
Stocky stops working after 31 August 2026. Restock Desk picks up where it leaves off. Import suppliers, lead times, minimum orders and costs from any spreadsheet. You choose which column is which, so a file from Stocky, Excel or an older system all work the same way. Reorder points then follow your own sales and each supplier's measured delivery time, not the one they promised.
- Supplier records and SKU mappings with CSV import and export
- Replenishment review with supplier, cost, and lead-time context
- Purchase orders with receiving, PDF, and CSV export workflows
- Stock counts with discrepancy review and approved adjustments
- Reorder points that follow your sales, not a number you typed months ago
- Purchase orders drafted and grouped by supplier, with case sizes applied
- Count stock with a barcode scanner and apply the differences in one step
- Move stock between locations when one is short and another has spare
