Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureForecastify uses weighted sales analysis to predict when products will stock out — recent sales count more than old ones. Every SKU gets a risk level, trend direction, and velocity score so you know exactly where to focus. The dashboard surfaces action items, an inventory health score, and a color-coded heatmap for scanning hundreds of products at a glance.
Inventory IQ answers one question: what do you need to reorder, how much, and by when. It syncs your catalogue and sales history, then forecasts when each SKU will run out based on your sales velocity, trends, and weekly patterns. Every forecast explains its reasoning in plain language and adjusts to your supplier lead times.
