Alertr: Inventory Management

Alertr: Inventory Management is the simplest, most proactive inventory app built specifically for Shopify merchants. It solves the critical problem of reactive stock management, where manual checks and stale spreadsheets lead to missed sales from unexpected stockouts. Designed with a mobile-first, user-centric approach, Alertr automates the entire monitoring process. It connects to your store, syncs your inventory data daily, and uses smart algorithms to calculate sell rates for every SKU. Its core value is in its predictive alerts: instead of you checking stock, Alertr tells you precisely when and how much to reorder before you run out, via email or directly in your team's Slack. Born from a real workflow that saves a DTC jewelry brand 3 hours weekly, it replaces complex, expensive apps with a straightforward, affordable tool. It’s the perfect solution for growing brands that need reliable, hands-off inventory intelligence without the high cost or steep learning curve of traditional enterprise software.

Daily Inventory Sync & Sell Rate Calculation

Alertr automatically connects to your Shopify store to pull product and order data every single day. It doesn't just show you current stock levels; it actively calculates the sell-through rate for each product variant (SKU). This means you always have an up-to-date, data-driven understanding of what's selling fast and what's sitting still, providing the foundational intelligence for all proactive reordering decisions without any manual data entry.

Smart Reorder Alerts via Email & Slack

Set your desired stock thresholds and let Alertr do the watching. The app monitors your inventory levels and triggers an instant alert the moment stock for an item drops below your set point. Each alert is intelligent, telling you exactly how many units to reorder based on the item's calculated sell rate and your configured supplier lead time, ensuring you order the right amount at the right time.

Centralized Inventory Dashboard

Gain instant visibility over your entire product catalog from one clean, mobile-friendly dashboard. View all your SKUs sorted by critical metrics like "Days of Stock Remaining," "Sell Rate," and recommended "Reorder Quantity." Use intuitive filters to immediately see items that are "Low Stock," "Need Reorder," or are "Out of Stock," making weekly inventory reviews quick and actionable.

Configurable Workflow & Data Export

Tailor Alertr to fit your unique business operations. Configure key assumptions like the sales lookback period for sell rate calculations, supplier lead times, and how often you receive alerts. For reporting or creating purchase orders, easily export your complete, calculated inventory data to CSV with one click, seamlessly bridging digital management with your external processes.

Replacing Manual Spreadsheet Tracking

Merchants tired of error-prone, time-consuming spreadsheet updates can use Alertr to fully automate inventory tracking. The app eliminates manual data entry and complex formulas by syncing live Shopify data, calculating sell rates automatically, and providing a single source of truth, saving several hours per week and reducing human error that leads to stockouts.

Proactive Prevention of Stockouts

For growing brands where a single stockout means lost revenue and customer trust, Alertr acts as a safety net. By providing early warnings based on actual sales velocity, it gives merchants ample time to place orders with suppliers before a product runs out, ensuring sales continue uninterrupted and capital isn't tied up in excess, slow-moving inventory.

Finding a Stocky Alternative

With Shopify shutting down its native Stocky app in 2026, merchants relying on it for core inventory management need a new solution. Alertr is built as a direct, user-friendly alternative, handling the same essential workflow of sell rate tracking and reorder alerts without the complexity or high cost of other enterprise-grade apps on the market.

Streamlining Team Communication

Stores where multiple team members or departments need inventory visibility can integrate Alertr with Slack. This sends reorder alerts directly into a designated team channel, ensuring everyone from the owner to the fulfillment manager is instantly informed, streamlining communication and accelerating the purchase order process.

Alertr offers two straightforward pricing tiers to suit different stages of business growth:

• Free Plan: Priced at $0/month, this plan is ideal for small stores just getting started. It includes support for up to 50 SKUs, access to the core inventory dashboard, and daily data syncs.
• Pro Plan: Priced at $19/month for beta users (locking in that rate forever) and $29/month at public launch. This plan is for growing brands that cannot afford stockouts. It includes unlimited SKUs, smart reorder alerts via both Email and Slack, full CSV export capabilities, and all configurable thresholds. The Pro plan comes with a 14-day free trial.

How does Alertr differ from Shopify's built-in inventory tools?

Shopify's native tools show you current stock levels but are fundamentally reactive. They don't track how fast items sell or predict when you'll run out. Alertr is proactive; it syncs daily, calculates sell rates, and sends alerts before you hit zero, acting as an intelligent assistant that tells you what to do, not just what is.

What happens during the 14-day free trial?

The free trial gives you full, unrestricted access to all Pro plan features, including unlimited SKU tracking, email and Slack alerts, CSV export, and the full dashboard. You can connect your store, configure settings, and receive live alerts to experience the complete value of Alertr before any payment is required.

Can I customize the alerts and calculations?

Yes, Alertr is designed for flexibility. You can configure your own reorder point thresholds, set the sales "lookback" period (e.g., 30, 60, 90 days) used to calculate sell rates, input your specific supplier lead times, and choose your alert frequency to match your review schedule perfectly.

Is there a long-term contract or setup fee?

No. Alertr operates on a simple, transparent monthly subscription with no hidden fees or long-term contracts. You can cancel your Pro plan at any time. The setup is designed to be a 1-click process, connecting directly to your Shopify store with no complex onboarding or additional charges.
