Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureLosing money on products that sit unsold for months? IdleStock reads your catalog and recent orders and lists every product with stock but no sales in your chosen window (30 or 60 days): your dead stock, slow-moving and aging inventory. It shows how much cash is tied up in that excess stock and gives each item a clear next step: discount, bundle or remove. The first scan starts on its own after install.
StockSweep finds the dead and slow-moving stock draining your cash, then helps you clear it. It flags products with no recent sales, totals the frozen capital tied up by age (30/60/90+ days), category, vendor, and location, with trends. Then act: one-click discounts, auto-built clearance collections, and automation rules with staged markdowns and margin protection.
