Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost merchants discover dead stock months too late. Standard stock alerts warn you when items are running low — but stay silent when items stop selling. Dead Stock Alerter scans every variant nightly and classifies each SKU as healthy, slow-moving, critical, or dead based on sales velocity.
SkuVitals turns your Shopify catalog into clear, act-on-it inventory intelligence — no spreadsheets. It finds dead stock and slow movers tying up cash and ranks them by recoverable value, scores every product 0–100 across 24 data-quality checks (missing images, SKUs, barcodes, metafields and more), and turns sales velocity into restock forecasts so you know exactly what to reorder and when.
- Automatic dead stock detection across all your product variants
- Velocity scoring classifies every SKU as dead, critical, slow, or healthy
- Actionable fix recommendations — markdown, bundle, or liquidate
- Weekly email digest highlights your highest-risk inventory
- Dead-stock & slow-mover detection, ranked by recoverable value
- 0–100 catalog-health score across 24 data-quality checks
- Restock forecasts & reorder points from real sales velocity
