How it sells itself

A Stocky alternative for the whole reorder loop. It emails you when something needs ordering before a delivery could arrive, and stays quiet when nothing does. Moving from Stocky? Bring in your purchase order export: suppliers, costs and real lead times come with you, free on every plan. Raise purchase orders, add freight and duty, email them to suppliers, and receive stock back into Shopify.

It syncs your products and sales, ranks what needs reordering by urgency, and turns the plan into supplier purchase orders you can edit, email, or download as a PDF. When boxes arrive, receive them fully or partially and stock is written back to Shopify automatically. Import your Stocky export in one click to restore suppliers, costs, and PO history. Works for any store that reorders from suppliers.

Key points
  • Stockout dates for every product, based on your real sales velocity
  • Reorder quantities that account for supplier lead time and stock cover
  • Urgency ranking that puts today's purchase decisions at the top
  • Urgency-ranked reorder suggestions built from your real sales velocity
  • Full purchase order lifecycle: draft, email or PDF, then receive into stock
  • One-click Stocky import: suppliers, costs, and PO history restored
  • Partial receiving with barcode scanner support and multi-location stock
