Stock Control is a full inventory management platform for Shopify. It has two halves: inventory intelligence — the dashboards, forecasting, and reports that tell you what to do next — and operations — counts, receiving, transfers, and purchase orders, all scan-friendly.
The app extends Shopify’s built-in inventory by adding what Shopify doesn’t: sales velocity per variant, days of stock remaining, reorder signals, dead stock detection, and a full adjustment audit trail.
Inventory Intelligence
The dashboard answers the questions you actually care about in the morning: which SKUs need reordering today, what’s sitting as dead stock, how many stores are out of something, and what the inventory is worth. Every variant is bucketed as In Stock, Low Stock, Reorder Now, Out of Stock, or Dead Stock, based on its on-hand quantity, 30-day sales velocity, and your forecasting settings.
The Inventory page shows every tracked variant with live KPIs — on-hand, available, committed, velocity per day, days of stock, trend, and inventory value. You can filter, sort, search, and open any variant to edit stock per location or record an adjustment with a reason code.
Operations
When it’s time to act on what the dashboard shows, you use the operational side:
Purchase Orders to reorder from suppliers when a variant hits Reorder Now
Receiving to check stock in when a delivery arrives, with barcode scanning
Inventory Counts to reconcile what’s on the shelf against what Shopify thinks
Transfers to move stock between Shopify locations
Adjustments to record ad-hoc changes (damage, shrinkage, corrections) with reasons
Every operational workflow supports camera scanning and external barcode scanners, and nothing is sent to Shopify until you commit.
How Sales Data Powers It
On install, Stock Control pulls 90 days of your Shopify order history. That data becomes the velocity (units sold per day per variant) that drives the Reorder Now and Dead Stock buckets, the days-of-stock column, and the Sales Velocity report. New orders flow in via webhook from that point on.
Without sales data, the dashboard still shows on-hand and out-of-stock counts, but the forecasting-driven buckets stay empty until the backfill completes.
Multi-Location and Multi-Supplier
Stock Control respects Shopify’s locations throughout. Counts, transfers, receiving, and the Inventory page all let you work per-location. Each variant can be linked to one or more suppliers, with a primary supplier used for reorder suggestions and forecasting.
