What is the best inventory app for detailed stock reports?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request for an inventory solution that provides: collection-wise stock reports, low-stock alerts, product aging reports, and an overall inventory report.

Suggested approaches:

  • Custom development: Hire a developer to build a simple script or a Private App tailored to just these reports. Rationale given is that many inventory apps are more complex than needed for reporting alone.
  • Full WMS app: Consider SKUSavvy if broader warehouse operations are required (purchasing, check-in, bin allocation, pick-pack-ship automation) alongside inventory reporting. SKUSavvy is a mobile WMS (warehouse management system) for Shopify; a link was shared.

No specific app was selected or confirmed. The discussion remains open, with the practical next step being to decide between a lightweight custom solution for reports vs. adopting a comprehensive WMS if operational needs extend beyond reporting.

@Anonymous this is a pretty common requirement for many Shopify users, and there are several inventory systems out there to achieve this. You might also look into having a developer create a script for those specific reports if that’s all you need since most inventory apps will go more detailed than this.

If you end up needing a warehouse & inventory system to use for purchasing & check-in, allocation to bins, pick-pack-ship automation, everything you need to run your warehouse and fulfill orders, you should check out SKUSavvy which is a mobile WMS that would solve this for you.
