See every featureStocky 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. Each reorder point covers demand over the supplier lead time, plus safety stock for your demand swings.
Restockly reads your sales history and current stock, then shows what needs attention today. Every product sits in one of four tiles: Order now, Order soon, Stocked, or No sales — urgent items are obvious the moment you open the app. A live 60-day sales scan sorts products by urgency, with days-of-stock and a reorder-by date on every row.
