How it sells itself

Inventory 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.

Keystone Inventory turns your Shopify sales data into clear ordering decisions. It tracks how fast each product sells, factors in your supplier lead times, case packs and safety stock, and tells you exactly what to reorder and when — before you run out, without tying up cash in overstock. When it's time to order, select the products and Keystone builds purchase orders grouped by supplier.

Key points
  • Seasonal demand forecasting with trend detection to plan inventory confidently.
  • Auto-generate purchase orders based on sales velocity and supplier lead times
  • Multi-location inventory tracking with location-level metrics and reorder points
  • ABC categorization to prioritize high-value products and optimize stock levels.
  • Keep your best sellers in stock.
  • Purchase orders — create, authorise, send, receive with Shopify stock push-back
  • Your whole inventory at a glance
  • Demand forecasting — reorder points, days of cover, suggested quantities
