Shopify inventory management

Stocky is gone. Your purchase orders, costs and suppliers don't have to be.

Binly counts stock with the phone in your pocket, runs your purchase orders and receiving, and brings your Stocky history across for free while the export window is open (about 30 November).

Scanning a product barcode with a phone in a shop stockroom

Live · 27 / 60 counted

What you get

Three jobs, done properly

Count the shelf, buy the right quantity, and know what the stock cost you. No hardware to buy, no consultant to book.

Count the shelf

Scan with your phone or a USB scanner. Variance in units and dollars shows up line by line, and Shopify only moves when you press apply.

Reorder on time

Days of cover and a suggested quantity, grouped by vendor, with the date you need to send the order by.

Print your own labels

Barcode and price labels straight from an order you just received. Dymo thermal, Avery sheets, PDF or CSV.

Two minutes

Watch a count run start to finish

Phone in one hand, laptop on the bench. This is the app itself, not a slide deck.

Hosted on YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.

Count

A stocktake by phone, with nothing to buy

The phone in your pocket is the scanner. A USB scanner at the till and a Bluetooth scanner both work too, and you can still type a SKU when the barcode has worn off.

Three scan modes, so a quick increment count, a careful recount and a fresh count all behave the way you expect.
Count one vendor, one tag, one collection or one shelf instead of the whole store at once.
Scan something outside that filter and Binly adds it and flags it, so nothing is missed in silence.
A live list of what is still not counted, and nothing reaches Shopify until you review and approve it.

Several phones can scan into the same session, so two people can work opposite ends of the shop.

Big catalogs

Big catalogs count in sections

Nobody finishes a 70,000 line count in one sitting, so Binly does not ask you to. You take a section, finish it, and the progress waits for you.

Opens in about a second at 70,000+ lines.
Work on one supplier, type, collection or letter at a time.
Three phones, three sections, one count.

Buy

Purchase orders that survive a short delivery

Half the boxes turn up, the rest follow next week. Binly receives what arrived, keeps the backorder open, and prices each delivery separately.

Partial receiving, with freight, duty and discounts spread across the lines as landed cost.
An order by date built from the median of your own supplier lead times, not a generic 14 day guess.
Supplier minimums, case sizes and cover days applied to every suggested quantity.
Reorder suggestions read your full sales history, not only the last 2,000 orders.

The order by date is the last day an order can leave and still land before the shelf empties. The maths sits on the screen, so you can argue with it.

Labels

Labels come off the order you just received

Receive 106 units and the label queue already knows about them. Pick a template, choose whether price and SKU show, print from the browser.

Dymo thermal templates print one label per page, Avery sheets print 30 to a page.
No driver and no extra software. It is your browser print dialog and your label printer.
Export the same list to CSV if your printer software wants a file instead.

Products with no barcode get one generated, so the next stocktake can scan them.

Suppliers and costs

Know what you pay, and what you owe

Inventory value, sales velocity and the items about to run dry, on one screen you can open before a supplier call.

Paste your supplier notes and Binly turns MOQ, case sizes, lead times and payment terms into fields it actually uses.
Upload a price list and Binly shows what changed since the last one, and where you paid above it.
Cost changes are flagged from your own records: this order costs 10 percent more than the last one, and here is the dollar figure.
Payables show due dates and early pay savings before the deadline passes, plus a month end COGS export for QuickBooks and Xero.

Weighted average cost is built from the deliveries you receive in Binly, so it reflects what you paid rather than a number typed in once.

Bring your Stocky history with you

Your Shopify stock is already right. The move is about the paperwork behind it: what you ordered, who you ordered it from, and the cost you agreed at the time. None of that lives in Shopify. We do the import, you check our work, and it is free while the export window is open.

954 purchase orders matched line by line and imported for one 12,000 variant retailer in an afternoon.

Step 1

Export from Stocky

Pull your purchase orders and history out to CSV. The window shuts around 30 November. Sooner is better.

Step 2

Send it over

Email us the file, or upload it in Binly yourself. Whichever is quicker for you.

Step 3

Look it over

We match every line to your Shopify products, then hand it back for you to read. Nothing goes live in your store until you approve it.

Hey, my stocktake is not syncing to Shopify after I hit apply. It says success but the quantities are not updating on my end.

Replied 47 min later

Ben at Binly Today 10:01 am

Hi Jamie, this happens when your Shopify session token expires mid count. Fix is pushed in v1.2.1. Refresh and try again, and if it still will not sync, send me the stocktake ID and I will replay it from our side.

FAQ

The questions we get asked

Do I need a barcode scanner?

No. The phone in your pocket does the job. A USB or Bluetooth scanner works too, and so does typing the SKU by hand when the barcode has worn off.

Does anything change in my Shopify store on its own?

No. Counts, imports and cost updates all wait for you. You review the numbers, then press apply, and only then does Shopify move.

I am coming from Stocky. What happens to my purchase orders?

Send us your Stocky export and we bring the purchase orders, the cost you ordered at, the received and partly received status, and the supplier names across, matched to your Shopify products. It is free while the export window is open, which closes around 30 November.

How big a catalog can Binly handle?

We have run counts and cost recalculations against a store with 73,893 variants. Starter is capped at 500 products because most single location shops sit well under that; Pro has no cap.

Does Binly do demand forecasting?

Not the statistical kind, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. Binly reorders from your real sales and your real supplier lead times. If you need open to buy planning or seasonal forecasting models, we are not the right tool.

What does support actually look like?

Email us and the person who wrote the code replies, usually within four hours on a working day. Replies also show up inside the app, so you do not have to dig through your inbox.
