Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGranary tells you what to reorder, how much, and when, then helps you place and receive the order. Each product gets a forecasting model matched to how it sells, tested on your own sales history so you see its accuracy before you rely on it. Your reorder plan is grouped by supplier with lead times, stockout dates and order quantities.
Stocky is no longer available after August 31, 2026. Inventory Guard picks up the part most merchants used it for: knowing when to reorder. It turns your real order history into a demand forecast per product, using sales trends and weekday patterns.
