Description

Forthcast is an innovative application designed for Shopify merchants, utilizing AI to enhance demand forecasting and inventory management. By examining the sales history of your store, it predicts SKU-level demand for up to twelve months in advance, ensuring you can make informed purchasing decisions that help avoid both stockouts and excess inventory. Key functionalities include detailed demand forecasts that incorporate seasonal and trend analyses; intelligent reorder notifications alongside calculations for reorder points; automatic generation of purchase orders; tracking of lost sales to assess revenue losses due to stockouts; detection of demand anomalies; support for bundles and kits without duplicating stock; customizable safety stock settings; management of multi-location inventory; and reporting on forecast accuracy. Forthcast connects seamlessly in real-time with Shopify and also integrates with platforms such as Amazon, QuickBooks, Xero, and Notion. It is specifically designed to assist growing retailers with extensive and active product catalogs that have surpassed the capabilities of traditional spreadsheet-based planning systems, providing a more efficient and accurate way to manage their inventory needs. Additionally, this tool empowers merchants to optimize their stock levels effectively, ultimately leading to enhanced profitability and customer satisfaction.

Description

POinbox is a specialized app designed for Shopify retailers focused on wholesale and B2B transactions, enabling them to efficiently process customer purchase orders received via email or file uploads. This application is capable of interpreting various formats including PDFs, Excel files, CSVs, Word documents, as well as images and scanned documents, subsequently generating a draft order in Shopify for staff assessment. It facilitates the identification of buyers by linking them to existing Shopify customers, B2B accounts, and their respective locations, while also aligning order items with products listed in the catalog, incorporating customer-specific item identifiers when applicable. By default, the drafts utilize the pricing from the Shopify catalog and highlight any discrepancies with the original purchase orders for further consideration. Any lines that present ambiguous matches are flagged for staff resolution prior to the draft’s finalization, and the corresponding purchase order number is documented within Shopify’s designated field. Once the draft receives approval, the Shopify platform takes over to manage payment processing, invoicing, and order fulfillment. It is important to note that POinbox is specifically tailored for transforming customer-generated purchase orders into draft sales orders, rather than functioning as a tool for supplier purchase orders, an EDI system, or a wholesale ordering portal. This ensures a streamlined approach to handling B2B transactions while maintaining clarity throughout the process.
