How it sells itself

Stocky 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.

Stockyard covers what your Shopify purchasing setup is missing: reorder suggestions, supplier lead times, and a lasting purchase order history. Set reorder points and get an email before items run out, with a prefilled draft PO. Track what each supplier charges over time and catch quiet increases. Find already-tracked products that haven't sold in the last 60 days. Supplier records and partial receiving included.

Key points
  • Score every supplier 0-100 from your purchase orders. No spreadsheets.
  • Stocky migration guide built-in: 8-part export-import walkthrough
  • Tune the weights so a packaging buyer and a textile buyer score differently.
  • Trend arrows show which vendors are improving and which are slipping.
  • Reorder point alerts by email before items run out
  • Prefilled draft purchase orders created from low-stock alerts
  • Import suppliers and purchase order history from Stocky CSV files
  • Supplier records with payment terms, lead times, and contacts

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. 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.
