Predict Demand. Prevent Stockouts. Grow Smarter.
StockIQ is an AI inventory forecasting and demand-sensing platform for Shopify. Smart seasonal forecasts that learn your store's rhythm, real-world signals like trends and weather feeding per-product predictions, plus plain-English AI queries grounded in your live store data. Not rebranded moving averages.
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 AI
Smart seasonal forecasts that learn your store's level, trend, and weekly rhythm with configurable safety stock — not rebranded 7-day moving averages. External signals adjust per-product predictions automatically. A real AI assistant grounded in your live store data 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.
AI Demand Forecasting
Smart forecasts that auto-detect level, trend, and seasonal patterns from your sales history. Falls back to a simple moving average when your store has less than three weeks of data — so you get a useful forecast from day one.
External Signal Enrichment
Real-world demand signals like search trends and weather feed your per-product forecasts automatically. Per-category sensitivity is configurable — outdoor products respond to sun, seasonal winter goods 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.
Real AI, Grounded in Your Store
Most "AI inventory" apps use the AI label to mean "we wrote a new SQL query." StockIQ ships an actual AI assistant grounded in your live data and an autonomous reorder agent with the guardrails you need so you don't wake up to a disaster.
Ask Your Inventory Anything
Plain-English questions, real answers. Ask "What's my biggest stockout risk?" and get a grounded answer based on your actual inventory, velocity, and supplier data — not generic advice.
- AI assistant grounded in your live store context
- Knows your products, out-of-stocks, top sellers, suppliers, and POs
- Falls back gracefully when the AI is unavailable
- Transparent — you see what context was used in every answer
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 spots unusual spikes the moment they happen. A flash sale or viral moment doesn't wait seven days for your forecast to adjust.
- Catches unusual demand spikes the moment they happen
- Same-day demand adjustments, not weekly
- Severity-ranked alerts (critical / high / medium)
- One click 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.
Secure Storefront Connection
Storefront widgets talk to StockIQ over Shopify's signed app-proxy connection — so customer-facing pages get live inventory data safely, with no CORS workarounds 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.
