See every featureLaunching a new product with zero sales history? DontGuess finds similar products in your existing Shopify catalog, combines them with your pre-launch signals like waitlist size and conversion rate, and generates a size-by-color buy plan you can defend. Every recommendation shows the comps used, the math behind it, and how constraints like MOQ and pack multiples were applied.
StockCue tells you what to reorder, how much, and when. It reads 24 months of order history, blends recent and baseline velocity, drops outliers, and applies your store's own seasonal curve to the month you're buying for. Alerts reach you in-app, by email, in Slack, or via Shopify Flow. The buying planner groups buys by supplier, applies MOQ and case-pack rounding, and drafts POs to send and receive against.
