How it works
Vom verbundenen Shop zu fertigen Bestellungen in drei Schritten
Keine Tabellen, kein manuelles Rechnen mit der Nachfrage. Forthcast macht aus Ihrer Shopify-Historie sortierten, sendefertigen Nachschub.
STEP 01
Connect Shopify
Connect the Shopify store so Forthcast can read its sales history and begin modelling demand from the merchant's own data.
STEP 02
Jede SKU ~ein Jahr im Voraus prognostizieren
Forthcast models demand for each SKU — seasonality, trend and velocity — up to about 12 months ahead.
STEP 03
Sortierte Nachbestellungen + automatisch erstellte Bestellungen
Review products below their reorder points, prioritize stockout risk, and create draft purchase orders. You review quantities and send.
Features
Alles, was Sie brauchen, um Ihren Bestand im Gleichgewicht zu halten
Built for Shopify merchants who want clearer forecasting and merchant-controlled replenishment without a per-SKU bill.
KI-Nachfrageprognose
Every SKU is modelled from your own sales history — capturing seasonality, trend and velocity up to about 12 months ahead.
Draft purchase orders
Forthcast helps you draft POs with suggested quantities. You review and send — nothing is ordered without you.
Warnungen am Bestellpunkt
Review products below their reorder points and use revenue-at-risk estimates to prioritize your next order.
Optimierung des Sicherheitsbestands
Puffer pro SKU passend zu Nachfrageschwankungen und Lieferzeiten dimensionieren — genug, um Fehlbestände zu vermeiden, nicht so viel, dass Kapital gebunden wird.
Bestand an mehreren Standorten views
See inventory by location, so reorder decisions reflect where stock actually sits. Demand forecasts and reorder points remain store-wide.
Saisonalität & BFCM
Use seasonal demand patterns to review your replenishment plan ahead of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other peaks.

Stands out for the reorder cycle
“We’ve tested several Shopify apps to improve our repeat purchase flow, but this one stands out because of how well the reorder cycle is actually implemented.”
Great Stocky alternative
“So far so good! It looks like this app will do more than Shopify’s Stocky and will do it better. The support has been amazing. Very responsive and interested in what we need.”
Pricing
One flat price. No SKU tiers.
Die meisten Prognose-Tools rechnen pro SKU, pro Bestellposition oder nach Nutzungsstufe ab — je größer Sie werden, desto mehr zahlen Sie fürs Planen. Forthcast nicht.

FAQ
Fragen, beantwortet
What is Forthcast and how does it manage Shopify inventory?
Forthcast is demand forecasting and inventory planning software for Shopify. It produces store-wide forecasts and reorder points up to about 12 months ahead, ranks stockout risk, and creates draft purchase orders that you review before sending. It costs $19.99 USD (about €18.99) per month flat for any catalog size, with a 14-day trial billed through Shopify.
What inventory signals does Forthcast use?
Forthcast models each SKU from the merchant's Shopify sales history, seasonality, trend, and velocity. It also learns each supplier's actual lead time over time, and Judge.me reviews can be synced through the documented API-token integration.
How much does Forthcast cost?
$19.99 USD (about €18.99) per month flat, with no SKU tiers or per-SKU fees, and a 14-day trial billed through Shopify. There is no free plan.
Does Forthcast place purchase orders automatically?
No. Forthcast calculates reorder timing and quantity and drafts a purchase order for the merchant to review and send; it does not place, send, or submit an order automatically.
Can I evaluate Forthcast as a Stocky replacement?
Yes, if your required workflow is store-wide demand forecasting, smart reorder alerts, safety-stock planning, and draft purchase orders. Check your exact Stocky workflow against Forthcast's documented features before migrating; this page does not claim feature-for-feature parity.
