How it sells itself

Invocast forecasts exactly when each product will run out, so you reorder before it's too late. See your entire inventory health at a glance with red, yellow, and green alerts. Set your suppliers' MOQs once; Invocast applies them automatically after that. No complex setup, no enterprise learning curve — built for small, single-location Shopify stores.

Skucast turns Shopify into a real inventory back office. Demand forecasting classifies every SKU (smooth, lumpy, dead, seasonal, new) and tells you when and how much to reorder. Create purchase orders, email them for one-click vendor acknowledgement, and receive with freight blended into true landed cost.

Key points
  • Forecasts stockouts using real sales data and supplier lead times
  • Red, yellow, green lights show which products need attention now
  • Set up in minutes — no complex config, no enterprise tools
  • Group by supplier, auto-applies MOQs — one click, right quantity
  • Demand forecasting flags every SKU to reorder before it stocks out
  • Create, email, and receive purchase orders with 1-click vendor acknowledgement
  • Margin-drift alerts when a supplier cost changes as you receive stock
