Genie

Genie is an inventory management software application specifically designed for Shopify-based brands. It enables merchants to move away from manual tracking methods such as spreadsheets and cumbersome legacy ERP systems. The core functionality revolves around real-time stock monitoring, allowing users to see current inventory levels across multiple locations or warehouses directly within a unified interface. Users can create and manage purchase orders (POs) directly from the platform, streamlining the procurement process by automatically populating order quantities based on historical sales data and lead times. The system supports split shipments, meaning a single order can be fulfilled from several warehouses to optimize shipping costs and delivery speed. Inventory updates are synchronized with Shopify in near real-time, reducing the risk of overselling and stockouts. Genie also offers reporting capabilities that generate detailed insights into inventory turnover, slow-moving items, and sales trends, helping brands identify which products need reordering or discounting. The planning module assists in forecasting future inventory requirements by analyzing past sales patterns and seasonal fluctuations, enabling brands to maintain optimal stock levels without overcommitting capital. Additionally, the platform includes features for tracking incoming shipments, logging supplier information, and managing backorders. Users can set custom reorder points and receive alerts when stock falls below defined thresholds. The tool integrates deeply with Shopify’s API, ensuring that any changes made in Genie—such as adjusting quantities or marking items as received—are reflected on the Shopify storefront. Genie also facilitates cost accounting by tracking the cost of goods sold (COGS)
