“Very easy to use stock and inventory tool. Great for planning and wonderful customer service. They truly are here to help you, as the shop owner, succeed. I like the ABC analyses and the Reorder feature.”
Right now your orders live in email threads, a tracker sheet, and a WhatsApp chat with the supplier. Forstock gives each PO one home: draft it from the reorder queue, send it, follow it to your door, check in what actually arrived — partial boxes included — and sync it to Shopify. Nothing gets lost, and nobody has to remember.
When a delivery arrives, you check each line in — partial shipments included. The PO closes itself, and the received quantities go live in Shopify only when you say so. No counting into a spreadsheet, no “did anyone update the stock?”
Try it yourself — check the delivery in.
Every PO begins from a live demand signal — not a blank spreadsheet. Supplier, quantity, and SKU list are pre-filled from the reorder plan. You review, adjust, and send.
Draft, sent, in production, in delivery, received — each stage is logged with dates and notes, and every change is captured in the audit trail. No more digging through email to find your order.
Record exactly what arrived — partial shipments included — then choose whether to push those quantities back to your store. Stock stays accurate, and it's always your call.
Hi again — just following up on the 240 units, did they ship? Also which invoice is the right one, the attached or…
“I have a calendar. It's this book.” — an operator on how orders were tracked, before. Every question means digging through three apps and one memory.
Anyone on the team opens the PO and knows: what was ordered, what it cost, where it is, what's been paid. No Sam required.
Straight answers
Whichever one actually holds your stock. Store-only setups plan from Shopify's counts; connect a WMS or 3PL and the warehouse's counts take over as the reference. Forstock reads from wherever the truth lives — and nothing changes in your store without your say-so: received quantities sync back only when you flip the toggle.
You receive exactly what arrived — 180 of 240 is fine. The PO stays open for the rest, your stock reflects what's really on the shelf, and the reorder math counts the balance as still on the way.
By email, straight from Forstock — a clean order the supplier can act on. The send is logged on the PO's timeline, so "did we send it?" stops being a question.
Yes. Add freight, duty, insurance, and any other cost to a PO — in your supplier's currency — and payments as they go out. The PO shows the true landed total and how much of it is settled.
