Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStockCue tells you what to reorder, how much, and when. It reads 24 months of order history, blends recent and baseline velocity, drops outliers, and applies your store's own seasonal curve to the month you're buying for. Alerts reach you in-app, by email, in Slack, or via Shopify Flow. The buying planner groups buys by supplier, applies MOQ and case-pack rounding, and drafts POs to send and receive against.
Managing retail purchasing without dedicated tools means relying on spreadsheets and guesswork. Skumo brings the full buying cycle into your store admin. Sales history drives suggested order quantities per supplier, so buying decisions reflect real demand. Orders are sent to suppliers by email from the app and inventory updates automatically on receipt.
