Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDecant shops, tea and spice merchants, roasters and refill stores sell the same product in several sizes cut from one bottle, sack or drum. Carboy keeps that bulk stock as one pool in ml, l, fl oz, g, kg, oz or lb and sets each size's stock in your store after every order, refund and cancellation.
Granary tells you what to reorder, how much, and when, then helps you place and receive the order. Each product gets a forecasting model matched to how it sells, tested on your own sales history so you see its accuracy before you rely on it. Your reorder plan is grouped by supplier with lead times, stockout dates and order quantities.
