Forthcast Inventory
Shows Shopify store owners what to reorder, how much to buy and which stock is running low or sitting idle.
Connects to a Shopify store through Forthcast to show live stock, demand forecasts, reorder points, suggested order quantities, open purchase orders and supplier performance. Standalone calculators for safety stock, order quantity and demand forecasting work without a connected store. Read-only: it does not create or change purchase orders.
Try asking Muse: "Which of my Shopify products are at risk of running out in the next two weeks, and how many should I reorder from each supplier?"
