Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSet a minimum stock level for each product variant at each location, or apply rules by collection. When online stock drops to that number, the add-to-cart button is blocked so the last units stay reserved for in-store customers, wholesale orders, or as a buffer against inventory sync delays. Get email alerts before you run out, either instantly or as a daily, weekly, or monthly report.
Inventric helps you organize your stock at a physical location like your retail store, or a warehouse. Syncs available inventory at all locations and make it available in the storefront. Offers multiple storefront widgets to display and apply inventory based restrictions with no-code.
