Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureInventory IQ answers one question: what do you need to reorder, how much, and by when. It syncs your catalogue and sales history, then forecasts when each SKU will run out based on your sales velocity, trends, and weekly patterns. Every forecast explains its reasoning in plain language and adjusts to your supplier lead times.
StockSense forecasts per-SKU demand from your real order history, using velocity, trend, seasonality, and safety stock based on supplier lead times. It ranks every product by the revenue at risk from a stockout or tied up in overstock. For each SKU it recommends a reorder quantity and date, and drafts purchase orders grouped by supplier.
