Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStocky retires in August 2026. Kijun helps you see which suppliers to keep, watch, or replace. Kijun turns purchase orders into 0-100 vendor scores across on-time delivery, defects, price stability, and completion. Lead time is shown for context but is not part of the score. Kijun is not a full Stocky replacement: it does not forecast demand, rewrite inventory, auto-reorder, or replace POS stocktakes.
Proviand reads your sales history and suggests what to reorder, when, and in what quantity. Every suggestion explains itself: sales velocity, seasonality, supplier lead time, and safety stock. Turn suggestions into purchase orders grouped by supplier, email them to suppliers, and receive deliveries straight into Shopify inventory. Migrating from Stocky?

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
