See every featureSkucast turns Shopify into a real inventory back office. Demand forecasting classifies every SKU (smooth, lumpy, dead, seasonal, new) and tells you when and how much to reorder. Create purchase orders, email them for one-click vendor acknowledgement, and receive with freight blended into true landed cost.
Stockcast checks your Shopify inventory daily and forecasts when each variant will run out. Every reorder suggestion shows its math: sales velocity, supplier lead time, safety stock, reorder point and order-by date. Turn suggestions into purchase orders by supplier, email them as PDFs and receive stock back into Shopify. Moving off Stocky?
