Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInventory Genius forecasts demand for every product and tells you what to reorder, when, and from which supplier. It reads sales velocity, supplier lead times, and seasonal patterns, then turns reorder suggestions into purchase orders in one click, grouped by supplier. Manage stock across all locations with replenishment planning, transfers, PO receiving, and stocktakes on desktop, mobile, and Shopify POS.
Your store is one channel. If you also sell on Amazon or TikTok Shop, your stock, orders and margins sit in separate dashboards that never agree. Inventory Hero reads them together and puts an AI agent on top, so you can ask questions in plain language instead of interpreting charts. Ask which SKUs run out before your next shipment lands, what a product actually earned after fees, or where stock is sitting.
