Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMakerStocks is for merchants who manufacture what they sell. You record each raw material with what you paid, its alert threshold and expiry date, then build a recipe for every product. Planning a production run reserves the materials, so they cannot be counted twice or sold by mistake. Closing the run deducts them, creates a batch for the finished product and sends the new quantity back to your store.
If you sell products that share raw materials — same fabric across sizes, same component across variants — keeping stock accurate is a nightmare. SimplifiedStock solves this. Link any material to multiple SKUs, set how many units each sale consumes, and stock updates automatically across every linked variant the moment an order lands. Cancellations reverse instantly. Further, it calculates monthly COGS for you.
- Track raw materials, batches and expiry dates alongside finished products

- Quick setup and bulk linking for large catalogs and complex SKUs
- Prevent overselling with real-time stock updates and deductions
- Never run out of bestsellers—save hours on stock management
