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.
Restocky helps merchants plan, order, receive, and count stock from one inventory workspace. It uses sales history and stock levels to suggest reorder quantities, then turns those suggestions into purchase orders. Merchants can track suppliers, receive incoming stock, move inventory between locations, run stocktakes, and review inventory, velocity, and profit reports.
- 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
- Turn low stock into ready-to-send purchase orders
- Forecast what to reorder before shelves run empty
- Track receiving, transfers, counts, and stock value

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.
