StockPing

Smart inventory alerts that prevent stockouts and overstock.

The Problem

Small e-commerce brands check inventory manually and reorder reactively. Stockouts mean lost sales. Overstock ties up cash. Demand forecasting tools are designed for enterprises with data science teams.

The Solution

Connect your Shopify or WooCommerce store and get smart reorder alerts based on sales velocity, seasonal patterns, and lead times. No spreadsheets, no data science required.

Competitive Landscape

Inventory Planner and Stocky are solid but pricey ($100+/month). Shopify built basic low-stock alerts but lacks intelligence. A $29/month smart alert tool is the right price point.

Why Now?

Supply chain issues of 2021-2023 taught small brands the cost of poor inventory management. They want tools but cannot afford enterprise solutions.
