Outgrowing Shopify's built-in inventory?

Shopify's native inventory covers single-location basics, and Stocky — its own forecasting and multi-location add-on — was delisted in February 2026 and shut down that August. Reviewers already flagged Shopify's built-in tools as thin next to dedicated inventory software. Count My Boxes is that dedicated layer: multi-warehouse stock, purchase orders, and batch/expiry tracking on one item record.

What Shopify sellers run into

Shopify's own inventory review coverage in 2026 points out limited history (stock history capped at 90 days), no purchase-order workflow, and no demand forecasting once you're buying stock rather than just selling it. That gap grew when Shopify pulled Stocky, the app that used to cover multi-location planning and forecasting for Shopify stores. Count My Boxes is not a Shopify app — it's a standalone warehouse system with unlimited history, real purchase orders and multi-warehouse stock, that you run your buying and receiving through.

How Count My Boxes handles it

Multi-warehouse stock on one item

Each item is one record; stock is tracked per warehouse against it, so a second location is not a re-import or a separate catalog.

Real purchase orders

Raise a PO, receive partial shipments against it, and stock updates as it lands — not a manual adjustment after the fact.

Batch, expiry and full history

Lot numbers, expiry dates and FEFO fulfillment are part of the item record, with stock history that isn't capped at 90 days.
