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.
Foreshelf forecasts demand from your sales history and tells you what to reorder, how much, and when — with the reasoning shown: "Sells 5/day, 12 days left, 14-day lead time → reorder 90 now." Forecasts adjust for trend and seasonality. Reorder by supplier, raise purchase orders, receive by barcode, get email or Slack alerts, and track dead stock, turnover and sell-through.
