Stocky Shuts Down August 31, 2026

Shopify's native inventory tool goes dark. Inventory Planner is $250+/mo and has abandoned sub-$1M merchants. The app store has 12+ "AI" forecasting apps — but most run enhanced moving averages dressed up as AI. StockIQ is built for the merchants caught in between.

📉

Stocky is Going Dark

Delisted from the App Store on February 2, 2026. Full shutdown August 31. Thousands of merchants — especially POS-Pro brick-and-mortar and omnichannel stores — need a replacement that doesn't cost ERP money.

💰

The Missing Middle

$100K–$1M/yr Shopify merchants need real forecasting, PO automation, and demand planning — without paying $250/mo for Inventory Planner or $500+/mo for an enterprise OMS. StockIQ's Starter plan starts at $39/mo.

🧠

Actual Machine Learning

Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing with weekly seasonality and configurable safety stock — not rebranded 7-day moving averages. External-signal enrichment. A real LLM grounded in your live store context for ad-hoc questions.

Everything You Need to Stop Guessing

Every feature ships with a fallback so it never gets stuck on a cold start — and every AI output is grounded in your real store data, not a generic model.

📈

Holt-Winters Forecasting

Triple exponential smoothing with weekly seasonality (statsmodels). Auto-detects level, trend, and seasonal components from your sales history. Weighted moving average fallback when you have fewer than 21 days of data — so you get a forecast from day one.

🌦️

External Signal Enrichment

Google Trends (via SerpAPI with pytrends fallback) and weather forecasts feed per-SKU demand multipliers. Per-category weather sensitivity is configurable — outdoor products respond to sun, seasonal winter to snow, food & beverage to heat.

🚨

Real-Time Inventory Alerts

Four severity levels: critical, high, medium, low — categorized by how urgent the action is. Dynamic safety stock per product based on lead time and demand variability. Actionable: "Restock in 3 days" or "Consider markdown" — not just a number.

📝

AI-Assisted Purchase Orders

One-click PO generation with forecast-driven quantities and AI-scored supplier recommendations. Suppliers ranked by reliability score, quality, and lead time — every score updated after every order.

🎯

ABC / XYZ Classification

Products auto-classified by revenue contribution (ABC) and demand variability (XYZ) so you focus reordering effort on the SKUs that actually drive the business. Dashboards filter by class with one click.

🔮

What-If Scenario Planning

Model promotion uplifts, supplier delays, or demand shocks before they happen. See how your stock holds up — and exactly how many extra units you'd need to order — without committing cash.

A Real LLM, Grounded in Your Store

Most "AI inventory" apps use the AI label to mean "we wrote a new SQL query." StockIQ ships actual LLM-grounded insight and actual agentic execution — both with guardrails so you don't wake up to a disaster.

💬

Ask Your Inventory Anything

Natural-language queries over your live store context. Ask "What's my biggest stockout risk?" and get a grounded answer based on actual inventory, velocity, and supplier data — not generic advice.

  • Powered by gpt-4o-mini with store-specific context injection
  • Product counts, OOS counts, top-5 by velocity, supplier + PO counts
  • Keyword-fallback when the LLM is unavailable
  • Transparent: you see what context was passed
🤖

Agent Mode

Let StockIQ make autonomous reorder decisions within guardrails you set. Approval thresholds, budget caps, and supplier whitelists all configurable. Every action logged and reversible.

  • Configurable approval threshold per action
  • Budget guardrails enforced before commit
  • Full audit log with reason per decision
  • Dry-run mode before going live

Demand Sensing

Beyond weekly batch forecasts — a real-time demand-sensing layer that catches anomalies intraday. A flash sale or TikTok-driven spike doesn't wait seven days for your forecast to adjust.

  • EWMA-based anomaly detection
  • Intraday signal adjustments
  • Severity-ranked sense events
  • Deep-link to affected products + POs
🎓

AI Insights

Dashboard surfaces revenue impact of every stockout, top lost-sales products, and forecast accuracy trended over time. Plain-English summaries, not CSV exports.

  • Revenue-impact dashboard quantifies lost sales
  • Forecast accuracy scored per product + overall
  • Trending products surfaced automatically
  • Actionable recommendations, not data dumps

Inventory Data That Drives Conversion

Inventory intelligence isn't just a back-office tool — when the data hits the product page, it moves the needle on conversion.

🔥

Urgency Badges

"Only 3 left" badges auto-render on product pages for gated-threshold products. Lightweight theme app extension — zero theme edits, loads async, no Core Web Vitals impact.

📬

Back-in-Stock Capture

Out-of-stock products get an inline "Notify me" form. Captures rebuild demand automatically — every sold-out SKU becomes a list to email when it returns.

🔌

Storefront App Proxy

Signed app-proxy endpoints serve widget data with Shopify HMAC verification — so your storefront JS talks to StockIQ safely, without CORS hacks or leaked tokens.

🪝

Real-Time Webhooks

Shopify webhooks for products/*, inventory_levels/*, and orders/* keep your StockIQ data in sync with Shopify within seconds of every change.
