Very good inventory planning app. Lets me see what products to purchase in advance. Needs more functions to isolate a product type or by manufacturer so you can order more at the same time from the same manufacturer.

Tolle App die macht was sie soll und dabei sehr klar und übersichtlich ist. Features die man unter Umständen vermisst werden auf Anfrage einfach nachgeliefert. Service ist superschnell und immer per Chat erreichbar. Einfach gut

This is a good start to forecasting. They are adding features frequently and have responded to questions and suggestions. Our business has been growing, and this app has been integral in managing our demand. They currently don't have anything that creates POs based on the forecast instantly, I know many businesses do like this feature. So I'd keep that in mind. If you need to start generating forecasts, without tons of frills give this app a try.

Die App ist wirklich heldenhaft was den Einkauf betrifft. Jeder der eine Unterstützung bei den Menge braucht und es aber nicht 100% automatisieren möchte der ist hier richtig. Bundles werden bislang nicht berücksichtigt und lassen sich noch nicht ausblenden. Eine Filterung nach Marken ist möglich, wobei man hier immer im Auge haben muss welche Marken man alle hat und bei wem man sie bezieht. Wir hoffen das eine Filterung nach Meta Feldern möglich wird, dann kann man einfach stumpft bei jedem Lieferanten die beherbergten marken nachbestellen ohne auf jeden Hersteller prüfen zu müssen. Der Rest läuft echt easy, einfach "Produkt XYZ" in den Suchschlitz eingeben und die Lieferzeit und geplante Bevorratung am Artikel einstellen (Geht auch als Stapelverarbeitung) Jetzt kann man noch das Wachstum von -100 - +100% einstellen und den Zeitraum der Analyse von "letzte 30 Tage" bis "letzte 90 Tage" Jetzt lest ihr einfach ab was ihr wann nachbestellen müsst. Hat uns schon öfter Geld gespart und uns vor Leerlauf beschützt. Ist dabei aber denkbar einfach und nicht mit einem gigantischen ERP oder WAWI verknüpft. Der Service der Customer Success bzw Store Builder Entwickler war immer schnell und transparent. Tolle App zu einem unschlagbaren Preis. Danke ENGLISH REVIEW The app is really heroic when it comes to shopping. Anyone who needs support with the quantity and doesn't want to automate it 100% is in the right place. Bundles are not yet taken into account and cannot yet be hidden. Filtering by brand is possible, but you always have to keep an eye on which brands you have and from whom you buy them. We hope that filtering by meta fields will be possible, then you can simply reorder the brands from each supplier without having to check for each manufacturer. The rest is really easy, just enter ‘Product XYZ’ in the search slot and set the delivery time and planned stock on the article (also works as batch processing) Now you can set the growth from -100 - +100% and the period of the analysis from ‘last 30 days’ to ‘last 90 days’ Now you simply read off what you need to reorder and when. This has often saved us money and protected us from idle time. It's really simple and not linked to a gigantic ERP or WAWI. The service from the Customer Success and Store Builder developers was always fast and transparent. Great app at an unbeatable price. Thank you

This is the best inventory tracking app I have tried and I have searched through several and tested 3. Its still in its development stages, but seems to do forecasting well, so I just need to look at the app to see how many of each SKU I need to order from the factory to stay stocked for 30 days, or how every many days you set in the settings.

Quite a useful app. Simple but effective for seeing which products should be ordered based on sales volume during a previous user-selected date range. As the founder of a brand with very seasonal sales, if I could ask for something, it would be a simple way of forecasting sales for the coming months by analysing the same period of the previous year. Obviously, this would only be useful for products that actually existed in the previous year but I'm sure it would be useful for many businesses like ours. Anyway, very satisfied with the app and also the support. Recommended!

This app stands out to me for its simplicity and straightforward interface. It does exactly what it's meant to do! It tells you when to reorder inventory, and how many, based on sales history and per-product adjustable parameters like lead time and desired days of inventory. Simple. It doesn't require you to switch to a new inventory system. You can continue using Shopify as normal and this app will save you time and frustration. Looking forward to seeing this app continue to grow and improve with the new upcoming features.

La verdad es una muy buena APP, respecto precio calidad la encuentro muy bien. Como recomendación me gustaría que mostrara el historial de ventas, y no solo el promedio por mes, ya que las promociones hacen que suban las ventas.

Thank you, our life has become easier and far less frustrating. This app has helped us a lot to improve our stock forecasting. I would have liked it to go further back than 60 days and to perhaps have a better search function but overall we are VERY happy.
