Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFabrikatör helps Shopify merchants avoid stockouts and overstock by replacing manual spreadsheets with AI-powered inventory planning. The app forecasts demand at the SKU level using your sales history, then automates purchase order creation with the right quantities and timing. You can manage inventory across multiple warehouses, track supplier costs and lead times, and handle backorders when products sell out.
Your store is one channel. If you also sell on Amazon or TikTok Shop, your stock, orders and margins sit in separate dashboards that never agree. Inventory Hero reads them together and puts an AI agent on top, so you can ask questions in plain language instead of interpreting charts. Ask which SKUs run out before your next shipment lands, what a product actually earned after fees, or where stock is sitting.
- Inventory Planning: Manage and optimize your inventory, get smart stock alerts
- Inventory Forecasting: Plan demand accurately with seasonality in mind
- Purchase Orders: Create professional purchase orders, manage incoming inventory
- Preorders & Backorders: Turn out-of-stock products into a revenue stream
- One stock picture across channels: your store, Amazon and TikTok, per location
- Ask questions in plain language and get answers with the working shown
- True profit per product after fees, freight and returns
- Reorder dates from lead times and demand, not guesswork
