Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBenchtime puts every order you prepare after it's placed on a production board and schedules it against your real capacity: how much you can finish per day or week, your workdays, and days off. Each order gets a ship-by date that moves as work moves. Shoppers see your next date on product pages and next to shipping options at checkout, and you can send each customer a private status page.
Add a delivery date picker to your cart page, cart drawer, and checkout on Shopify Plus, so you are never guessing when an order needs to go out. You decide which dates customers can see: lead time, an order cutoff time, a booking window, weekdays you never deliver, and blackout dates. Tag rules give fragile or made-to-order products their own schedule.
