Sales velocity and ABC
Separate high-consequence SKUs from the long tail before applying the same reorder policy to everything.
01 / Validate the workflow
Bring one real inventory decision.
A 20-minute review is the strongest signal we use before building. We will map your current reorder or landed-cost workflow; this is not a sales call.
Strong signal
Request a workflow review or ask about the refundable pilot deposit.
Supporting signal

What happens next
We review responses manually. No store access, subscription, or payment starts from this form.
02 / One decision chain
From Shopify facts to an auditable action.
The private pilot is deliberately narrower than an ERP. It turns existing product, inventory, and order facts into a small set of inventory decisions.
Safety stock and reorder point
See the service level, demand variation, lead-time inputs, and fallback used in every result.
Landed cost allocation
Allocate freight, duty, insurance, and FX loss to H3 purchase-order lines with deterministic rounding.
Multi-location inventory
Compare current stock by Shopify location. The first pilot shows the facts; it does not auto-execute transfers.
03 / Formula evidence
Explain means showing the inputs.
SS = z × √( LT̄ × σD² + D̄² × σLT² )
ROP = D̄ × LT̄ + SS
Each run records the demand window, service level, lead-time assumptions, formula version, output, and any manual override. If the history is insufficient, the product says so instead of inventing precision.
04 / Pilot price hypothesis
Two prices. No fictional enterprise tier.
These are research price points for the proposed monthly product. They are not an active subscription or a locked-price promise.
Starter
$19 / month
- Product, inventory, and location sync
- Basic sales velocity and ABC
- Safety stock and reorder point
- Reorder suggestions with Explain
- Primary-location view
Pro
$49 / month
- Everything in Starter
- Landed cost allocation
- Multi-location inventory overview
- InventoryOps PO worksheet and CSV export
- Calculation audit export
Not promised in the first pilot: writing Shopify native purchase orders, transfer execution, automatic FX, API access, custom rule platforms, dedicated onboarding, or an SLA.
05 / Concrete evidence
A cost result you can recompute.
This sample illustrates the proposed allocation behavior. It is a product specification example, not a customer testimonial.
Sample landed-cost allocation
A $300 freight charge allocated by line value. The line results sum to the original cost exactly.
| SKU | Line value | Freight |
|---|---|---|
| COFFEE-1KG | $1,500 | $180 |
| FILTER-100 | $750 | $90 |
| MUG-WHITE | $250 | $30 |
| Total | $2,500 | $300 |
What we will and will not access
The proposed Shopify app needs product, inventory, location, and limited order-line facts. It does not need customer names, email addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers, or payment details for inventory calculations.
During this research page, no Shopify authorization occurs. The form only sends the store URL, work email, selected pain, experiment variant, and traffic attribution needed to evaluate demand.
06 / Boundaries
Questions before a private pilot.
Is this a Stocky clone?
No. The proposed product is a narrow inventory decision layer: reorder inputs, landed cost allocation, multi-location visibility, and an InventoryOps PO worksheet. It is not a POS suite or full ERP.
Does it create Shopify native purchase orders?
Not in the proposed first pilot. The first version uses its own PO worksheet plus CSV export. Native Shopify PO writing remains out of scope until a supported public API and permissions are verified.
Is the reorder logic deterministic or AI-powered?
This research page is testing that positioning. The calculation core is specified as deterministic and versioned. The alternate page message tests whether merchants respond more strongly to AI-assisted planning language; it does not silently change the price or form.
When will it launch?
No public launch date is promised. We will decide whether to build after the demand, API, permission, and calculation gates pass. Qualified research participants may be invited to a private pilot.
Research privacy notice
Minimal data, one purpose.
We collect the store URL, work email, selected inventory problem, requested next step, experiment variant, anonymous visitor/session identifiers, UTM parameters, and referrer. We use them only to evaluate demand, contact requested participants, prevent duplicate experiment counts, and plan the pilot.
We do not authorize or read your Shopify store from this page. Research responses are processed by Formspree and delivered to the project mailbox. Ask for access, correction, or deletion by replying to the research email. Responses that do not enter a pilot are deleted after 90 days.
Pilot terms
Research, not a subscription.
- Submitting the form creates no subscription and grants no store access.
- Displayed prices are hypotheses, not a locked-price offer.
- A deposit request is not a payment. Any later pilot deposit requires separate written terms and is refundable before pilot access.
- Examples are specifications, not production guarantees or customer testimonials.
- No SLA, native Shopify PO integration, API access, or dedicated onboarding is promised.
