Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureA single app to help you stay on top of your Low Stock and Inventory forecasting at a reasonable cost. Set low stock alerts at the store, product, and variant levels. Forecast your replenishment quantities. Identify slow-moving products. Forecasting accurately prevents dead stock, pilferage, tying capital in overstocking, and warehouse space.
StockNest keeps a live copy of your inventory levels for every location and watches it for two things: items about to run out, and stock that has gone negative. Set a default reorder point, then override it per SKU or per location. Alerts arrive as one deduplicated email or Slack digest, and clear themselves when stock recovers. Need to fix quantities?
