Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStockcast 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?
Stocky is shutting down on August 31, 2026. Stockward covers the same ground. It reads your sales history and stock levels, then shows what to reorder, how much, and when, for every SKU. Group suggestions into purchase orders by supplier, send them as CSV or print them, and mark them received when stock arrives. Bring your suppliers, costs and lead times in from a single CSV file.
- Reorder suggestions with the math — velocity, lead time, and order-by date
- Stocky migration — import your PO CSVs and auto-rebuild supplier list
- Stockout predictions ranked by urgency with critical-first dashboard alerts
- Dead stock detection finds products tying up capital that no longer sell
- Reorder suggestions per SKU: demand, days of cover, reorder point, quantity
- Purchase orders grouped by supplier, exportable as CSV or printable
- One-click import of your Stocky export: suppliers, costs, lead times
- Adjustable lead time, coverage and service level, recalculated live
