Stocky

This app was added by our retail team primarily to facilitate inventory counts. While it works well for a one-time year-end count, we found there to be gaps when conducting counts over time, using a perpetual inventory count system. At minimum, the CSV downloads of inventory counts should list the date the count was conducted and the stocktake number so that the downloads can be traced back to an individual count in Stocky. Preferably, users should be able to download multiple counts into one CSV, with dates and stocktake numbers listed. The app would also benefit from a report that could tell you the date an item was last counted.

Why does every update lower the functionality of the app??

- You now have to click edit on every PO to make updates (change it back!)
- The new colour scheme does not let you easily differentiate between orders pending and received (change it back!)
- When importing goods, sometimes you do not know the total landed costs until after all the import duties and taxes are paid. Stocky LOCKS the landed costs once goods are received.

We need to be able to update shipping costs post order - to accurately see the Landed Costs (Please fix this as it is the most crucial part)

In reply to the comment "you can click the Edit button on the top of a received purchase order to open up the option to adjust the shipping rates as needed." - the figures such as the margin and landed costs remain locked if you have already received the items, so this is not an acceptable solution.

Please can you contact me directly to discuss improvements.

app won't open - keep getting an error code!!

Une app efficace pour les commerces de détails, mais impossible de restreindre les emplacements à des usagers spécifiques.

Donc tout le monde peut jouer avec l’inventaire de tout le monde. Nous devrions pouvoir gérer les permissions par location, c’est un énorme blocage dans notre transition a Shopify POS.

Some needed functionality:
1. Receiving vouchers, so an invoice can have multiple receipts against it.
2. When receiving, the dollar total should only include what is checked off as received.
3. Ability to print barcode labels for specific items on a PO, or invoice, etc.
4. Ability to sort documents while viewing. Right now you have to go into settings if you want to sort differently.
5. (September 2024) Update no longer allows you to edit product costs while receiving.

Used to be better, but could do with some updates as a lot of features aren't working anymore.

I use Stocky to see what products are selling well, what will be depleted soon and what products need reordering.

App was working good until we had to receive a partial purchase order from a vendor. Yes, we were able to receive quantities partially, but then Stocky doesn't allow us to record this invoice of a partial purchase order. What should we do if 90% of the PO we make are received in several shipments?
Also, not having a dedicated customer service team makes it a time consuming task to ask little questions.

Not a great inventory management app honestly. The app gives very basic purchase management facility and is an improvement over what is possible in Shopify, but nevertheless - inventory/purchase management is important to every business using Shopify and I would expect there to be a much stronger solution.

Shopify/Stocky has allowed us to go online when we needed it most - but the bricks and mortar side of things could use some improvement. Having to enter product information (cost price etc) in both Shopify and Stocky is redundant and with larger purchase orders uses up valuable time. There needs to be more integration between the two platforms. Time is precious these days! We value this platform and know it can only get better - hopefully this feedback can make for more improvement in the future.

Nice application for keeping track of orders. Here's what it's missing:
1) custom low inventory level alerts (ex. when widgetA reaches 5, send alert)
2) can't tell the application to ignore certain products, therefore a list of x number of useless items appears on my 're-order' list and it takes more time to sift through this list than it does to go to my physical shelves with a pencil and clipboard to prepare an order.
3) doesn't understand that a product can be purchased from multiple vendors, the only way I can order 'product Y' is if I'm ordering from the specfic vendor that the product is assigned to, otherwise I have to login to Shopify, edit the product and reassign the vendor, go back into stocky, refresh and add the item. Why can't I simply search from the list of all my products when I'm creating an order?? The application is VERY USEFUL once the order is in queue though. I can easily see what is on backorder and it adjusts my inventory levels VERY EASILY once I recieve an order with packing slip. Please, someone tell me which application can do what I need, I'm so tired of combing through 30+ applications to find an inventory app that can perform basic functions! Just FYI, VEND includes all of these basic inventory functions free, with their POS... come on Shopify!!
