Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFind the products tying up cash before they become a bigger problem. Deadstock Hero turns Shopify sales and inventory data into clear, explainable recovery opportunities—slow-moving, overstocked, deadstock, and stockout-risk variants. See velocity, days of cover, and confidence for every SKU; then create controlled recovery campaigns with discounts and product tags.
Most Shopify stores have a significant portion of inventory value sitting in products that have not sold in 60+ days. That capital is locked up, taking shelf space, and quietly losing value. Shelfie automatically surfaces this dead stock, suggests one-click recovery actions, and tracks how much each action recovers — so you can clear aging inventory with confidence and measurable ROI.
