Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureForeshelf reads your Shopify sales, inventory and batch expiry dates, then gives every SKU a clear decision: reorder, wait, or monitor expiry. Wait means current stock may expire before it sells, so buying more now adds risk. Marcus explains each decision and can prepare a purchase order, supplier email or expiry-aware discount.
FrozenCash analyzes your Shopify inventory and sales history to identify variants that may be tying up cash. It classifies inventory by risk, estimates potential frozen cash when unit costs are available, and explains why each variant received its status. Use filters, CSV exports, scan history, and scan-to-scan comparisons to understand where inventory risk is increasing or improving. FrozenCash is read-only.
