See every featureMost merchants still buy on gut feeling and spreadsheets — and lose sales or lock cash in unsold stock. BestSourcing syncs multi-location inventory in real time, forecasts 30-day demand per SKU with AI, and warns you 3–5 days before a stockout. From your production, shipping and transfer lead times, it tells you how much to order, when, and the arrival date.
InventoryIQ turns your Shopify orders, inventory levels, and cash position into prioritized buying decisions you can defend in a board meeting. Instead of stockout-date alerts, you get reorder recommendations ranked by ROI under your actual cash runway. Forecasts respect seasonality, ad spend, and changes — and every projection is auditable. Approve a reorder, and we generate the PO.
