Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMulti-location operators often manage inventory across stores in spreadsheets, which makes shortages and surplus hard to see in real time. Stock Comfort shows shortages across every location, recommends the transfers that should happen with the reason on screen, and walks each through draft, ship, and receive — including discrepancy capture and a full audit log.
StockAnvil watches every tracked variant at every location and warns you the moment stock drops below your threshold: a fixed quantity, or days of cover computed from real sales velocity. Alerts reach you by email and in Slack. One rule can cover a whole supplier, so new products are watched from day one. One open alert per item, resolved automatically, plus a daily digest: no alert storms.
