About the BuyAhead: Inventory Forecast
BuyAhead reads your sales data and stock levels to calculate how long each product will last, when to reorder, and how much to buy. See the math behind every forecast number when you open a product.
Create purchase orders and send them to suppliers. When stock arrives, receive it against the purchase order and BuyAhead automatically updates your Shopify inventory. Use barcode scanners for stock counts, print labels, and transfer stock between locations.
Track bundle components, get dead stock alerts, and see your complete stock valuation. Ask questions in plain English to get answers from your own numbers. Set up email and Slack alerts, and export data to CSV for reporting.
