Shopify Inventory Forecasting App, That Runs Without Anyone Remembering
Shopify inventory forecasting app work tells you what to reorder, how much and when: sales speed by variant, supplier lead time, safety stock and seasonality turned into purchase suggestions. Stocky, Shopify's own tool, has been withdrawn, and the admin offers no forecasting, so planning tools such as Prediko, Inventory Planner, Stockful and ReplenishRadar fill the gap. We choose and set one up, migrate your Stocky data and check the maths, from $290.
- Planning tool chosen for your catalogue size and team
- Stocky suppliers, purchase orders and history migrated where exported
- Reorder points built from sales speed, lead time and safety stock
- Test log and a recorded handover

450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your AI Demand Forecasting and Inventory Planning Gets the Same Care.
Automations rarely fail on the happy path. After a decade inside Shopify stores, we know which refunds, edits and odd orders break a workflow, and we design for them from the first rule.

Is Our Shopify Inventory Forecasting App Right for You? Six Typical Cases
Forecasting is where cash is saved or lost. These are the cases we build for.
- Your store runs on Shopify
- You can describe the rule in a few sentences
- You want a fixed price and a written scope
- You can share the access we ask for
Stores that used Stocky
Stocky was delisted and shut down according to sources. Data not exported is lost.
Stores with long supplier lead times
Reorder points must include lead time and safety stock.
Stores with seasonal products
Seasonality changes the forecast. We set the history window.
Stores with limited cash
Over-ordering ties up money. We tune safety stock.
Small teams
A short purchase suggestion list each week beats a dashboard.
Larger catalogues
Enterprise tools like Inventory Planner suit big catalogues with a team to tune them.

CoffeeFrom First Call to Live Workflow: Our Shopify Inventory Forecasting App Process
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live orders until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and rules
First we learn how AI demand forecasting and inventory planning runs today, who does what and where it breaks. Then we write every rule in plain words: when a week of sales closes, then update the forecast.
- 2
Access and platform
Access is narrow and approved by you. We suggest a platform, state what it costs each month and prove the connection with a live read.
- 3
Map the data
Together we map weekly sales, lead time, safety stock and forecast, confirm the formats on each side and decide what happens to blanks.
- 4
Build in a copy
We build against test data, not your live orders, and show you the plan and a recorded run where it helps.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover a steady product, a seasonal product and a promoted product, along with refunds and edits, and each result is checked against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
After your approval we turn it on, follow the first live runs, then hand over notes, a diagram and a short recorded tour.
Four Ways to Automate AI Demand Forecasting and Inventory Planning, Compared
Each route has a place. Look along the rows that matter to you and see which one you would trust with your orders.
| What matters | Staff doing it | Simple Shopify app | Platform you configure | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every rule agreed in writing | No | Rarely | If you document them | Yes |
| Edge cases tested: refunds, edits, partials | By luck | Seldom | If you test it | Yes |
| Duplicates blocked | Human error | Hit and miss | Possible | Yes |
| Failed runs raise an alert | No | Not always | Optional extra | Yes |
| Price known before work starts | Hours of staff time | Just plan fees | Plan fees plus your time | Yes |
| Written notes and recorded handover | No | No | No | Yes |
| Accounts owned by you | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Help after go-live | No | Vendor help desk | Platform help desk | Included window |
What Keeps Your Store and Data Safe
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Counts compared, not assumed
After any catch-up we compare counts with the source, so missing or doubled records are caught early.
Nothing sent without approval
No message to a customer goes live until you have read and approved it.
A written definition of done
Done means the workflow copes with a steady product, a seasonal product and a promoted product, and the results are written in the log.
Build in a copy, never live
The workflow is built and tested against test data. Your live orders and forecasts are untouched until you approve.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.
Secrets kept in a vault
We store tokens and keys in a vault and never paste them into documents or messages.
Choose Your AI Demand Forecasting and Inventory Planning Scope and See the Price
Start with the scope that matches your case, then adjust for platform, volume and the number of connected tools. You see the fixed price before you pay.
Request a custom quote
If your case involves a private API, unusual authentication, several stores or more than ten thousand orders a month, send a short brief and we will quote it as a fixed-price project.

Why Owners Choose Our Shopify Inventory Forecasting App Over Doing It Alone
Templates cover the happy path. We cover the rest, and we put the result in writing.
Tested on your real cases
We test the cases your store actually has, such as a steady product, a seasonal product and a promoted product.
A price you can plan around
Prices and extra days are visible for each package and option. Any platform subscription is billed by the platform; we tell you roughly what it will be.
A direct line to the builder
You message the person who has your workflow open. Questions about a rule or a field get a straight answer.
We live inside Shopify
We work with Shopify orders, refunds, edits and metafields daily. That depth is separate from knowing an automation tool's interface.
4.9+ from verified clients
Every review on this page is from a verified Store Design Expert client, which lets you see how projects went first.
Safety designed in
Every build includes retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access; none are paid extras.
Getting Started: What We Ask For
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
If the store is live, send us its address and approve our request. Ownership stays with you, our role is limited, and removal takes one click.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, set up the workflow there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
A staff login works if that is easier. We still recommend the collaborator route, since it can be revoked in one click and leaves no password in circulation.
Access to the other tools
Add us to the tools the workflow uses, or have us create accounts under your email. You stay the owner in both cases.
Examples of the work today
Share a few recent cases, or point us to them. Real examples reveal how the process really runs.
A decision-maker
Who signs off the rules and the test? And when two rules disagree, which wins? Those two answers are all we need.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
What Store Owners Say After Working With Us
Real owners, real stores, in their own words.
