How it sells itself

Potato is the simple, yet powerful inventory restocking software we always wish we had as Shopify store owners ourselves. You can get insights on how much you should reorder and generate purchase order drafts automatically, with a click of a button. When inventory arrives and you update Shopify, Potato reconciles it against your POs—no double data entry or using some external system to update inventory.

Effective inventory management is a strategic advantage to your brick and mortar retail business. Selling out of in-demand products can be harmful to your sales—but keeping too much inventory on hand can drain your resources. Leverage Stocky by Shopify to optimize your inventory decisions.

Key points
  • Reorder Insights - Know how much to reorder based on historical sales
  • Automate Purchase Orders - Generate POs for best-sellers with 1 click
  • Inventory Auto-Match - Update your inventory in Shopify, auto-matches to a PO
  • Create and manage purchase orders and communicate with suppliers.
  • Conduct stocktakes by counting or scanning stock on hand and make adjustments.
  • Use in-depth reporting to make good inventory decisions through stock analytics.
  • Review and receive incoming inventory in Shopify POS.
