Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBestand replaces buying spreadsheets with a daily reorder list specific to your catalog. Each line shows the math: forecasted demand, current stock, supplier lead time, MOQ, and a verdict, order, skip, or monitor. Built for apparel brands working with multi-size, multi-color SKUs, where supplier MOQs and lead times decide whether a season sells through or sits in the warehouse.
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.
