Restocked
Restocked is a Shopify app for retailers that plan supplier reorders and manage purchase orders. It forecasts demand using sales from days when products were in stock, blending 30-, 60-, and 90-day velocity windows at 50%, 30%, and 20%. Reorder recommendations account for lead time, safety stock, and quantities already on order, and show the calculation behind each amount. Merchants can identify excess stock and capital tied up in overstock, then create supplier purchase orders in two clicks, download them as PDFs, or email them to suppliers on Pro. Full and partial receiving updates Shopify inventory as items arrive. Paid plans add minimum-order-quantity and case-pack rules, per-product lead-time settings, Stocky CSV import, stock trend indicators, and purchase-order lifecycle tracking. Restocked is designed for Shopify stores buying inventory from suppliers, including merchants migrating from Stocky.

LEAFIO AI Retail Platform
LEAFIO AI Retail Platform helps retail chains replace disconnected spreadsheets and point tools with one AI-driven system for daily retail decisions. Instead of planning orders, promotions, planograms and assortment separately, teams work with shared data and see how each decision affects the others. Inventory Optimization forecasts demand and automates orders to suppliers and distribution centers. Promotion Management plans campaigns in a shared calendar, forecasts promo sales and prepares stock for every store. Shelf Efficiency builds store-specific planograms and checks how they are executed. Assortment Performance shows which products earn their place on the shelf. Retailers can start with one module and add others as they grow. The result is fewer out-of-stocks, less overstock and write-offs, and less manual work for buyers, planners and category managers. LEAFIO is cloud-based, integrates with ERP and POS systems and is used by 250+ retail chains in 45+ countries.
