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.
Stockbeam forecasts demand, shows what to reorder and why, builds one purchase order per supplier, sends it, and receives the delivery in full or in parts, at the till too. Price POs in the supplier's currency, add landed cost, check invoices and credit notes, and switch on approvals if you want them. Shopify stock changes only when you confirm.
