Managing inventory is harder than it should be.

Most Shopify merchants rely on gut feel and spreadsheets — a recipe for missed sales and frozen cash.

📉

Products keep running out of stock

Tracking sales trends and supplier lead times manually is overwhelming. Running out of your best-seller is lost revenue you can never recover.

📊

Spreadsheets are slow and error-prone

Exporting data, building VLOOKUP formulas, updating pivot tables — it's tedious, fragile, and still doesn't give you accurate reorder numbers.

📦

Overstock ties up your cash flow

Dead stock sitting in your warehouse is cash you can't invest elsewhere. It also risks expiry, obsolescence, and rising storage costs.

Everything you need to restock with confidence.

Smart, automatic forecasting

Common questions answered.

What is Inventory Forecasting Hero?
Inventory Forecasting Hero (IFH) is a Shopify app that automatically calculates reorder quantities using your store's sales history. It identifies which products are running low, how many units to reorder, and creates purchase orders directly inside Shopify — replacing manual spreadsheets entirely.
Who is this app best for?
IFH is ideal for Shopify merchants who currently manage inventory using Excel or Google Sheets and operate from a single warehouse location. If you're spending hours every week on inventory calculations, this app pays for itself in the first day.
How does the forecasting work?
The app looks at your historical Shopify sales to calculate your daily sales velocity per product. It then factors in your supplier lead time and safety stock buffer to determine the exact reorder point and quantity. The more you use the app, the more data it has, and the more accurate it becomes.
Does it integrate with Shopify Purchase Orders?
Yes. Inventory Forecasting Hero integrates directly with Shopify's native Purchase Order feature, so you can create and manage restock orders without leaving Shopify or switching between tools.
How much does it cost?
Inventory Forecasting Hero starts from $29 per month with all features included. A free trial is available directly on the Shopify App Store — no credit card required to start.
How long does setup take?
Most merchants are up and running in under 5 minutes. You simply install the app, enter your lead time and safety stock preferences, and the first forecast is ready. If you need help, the StoreBuilder team offers onboarding support via Chat and Google Meet.
Can I export my forecasts?
Yes. You can download your full inventory forecast as a CSV file that opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets, making it easy to share with your team or suppliers.
