Improved: Seasonal forecasts follow demand that moves between locations — For stores in the Seasonal Replay early-access program, when sales shift from one location to another (for example online orders moving to a new fulfilment site), forecasts now follow the recent, settled split instead of last year's.

Improved: Better forecasts for young, fast-growing products — Seasonal Replay (early access) now sizes products launched within the last year from the weeks they have actually been selling and their recent run-rate, so fast growers are no longer under-forecast.

Improved: Safer defaults for seasonal products with no history of their own — Products without a season of their own sales history now use the standard forecast by default instead of borrowing a curve from similar items, which testing showed could under-order.

Improved: Shopify transfer sync switched on for existing stores — Two-way sync with Shopify's native Inventory Transfers is now on for every existing store with two or more Shopify locations. Approve the updated app permissions the next time you open Inventory Genius and your transfers start mirroring automatically.

Improved: Inventory Genius loads noticeably faster — We cut the JavaScript needed to open the app by about 75% and removed duplicate requests on page load, so screens appear sooner, especially on slower connections.

Improved: Creating a stock take now takes about a second — New stock takes only snapshot the items you are counting instead of every item at the location, so creation that could take over two minutes on large stores is now near-instant.

New: Edit supplier products in a spreadsheet-style grid — Change cost, MOQ, order multiple, lead time, supplier stock and availability inline on the supplier page, apply a value to many rows at once or adjust costs by a percentage, then save everything in one go.

Improved: One order on the Reorder screen becomes exactly one PO — Supplier orders are now grouped on the server, so what you see as a single order is the purchase order you create, with no surprise splits into several POs.

Fixed: Steadier reorder quantities across locations — Suggestions no longer drop to zero when an item's forecast is briefly out of date, and store-wide fallback demand is now split sensibly across locations and measured on in-stock days.

Fixed: Smarter transfer suggestions and faster shipping — Transfer suggestions no longer target backup-only, order-on-demand or not-stocked locations, live suggestions are no longer cancelled by clean-up runs, and shipping large transfers to Shopify is much quicker.

Fixed: Stock levels stay accurate through busy periods — Product edits in Shopify no longer overwrite per-location stock, stock updates no longer fail under heavy load, available stock refreshes straight after receives and transfers, and stock history is dated in your store's own time zone.

Fixed: Bundle saves are no longer lost if you navigate away — Leaving the page right after "Save & push to Shopify" could silently drop a new bundle; saves now complete reliably.

New: Two-way sync with Shopify's native Inventory Transfers — Transfers you create in Inventory Genius now appear in Shopify's own Transfers screen from the moment they're drafted, and transfers your team creates in Shopify appear in the app. Edits, dispatch, receiving and cancellations flow both ways, and stock only ever moves once.

New: Receive a transfer in Shopify or in the app — both stay in step — Receive against a transfer in either place and the other catches up, including split shipments, extra lines added while stock is in transit, and transfers deleted in Shopify.

New: Filter Reorder and Replenishment like the Shopify admin — Search by SKU, title or barcode, filter by brand, product type, tag and ABC class, pick your columns, sort and select rows, reset quantities, and share a filtered view by link. A "Refresh and create" button now updates stale suggestions in one click.

New: Reorder by brand — Distributors carrying many brands from one supplier can filter suggestions by brand and group orders by Supplier then Brand, so each brand can be reviewed on its own.

New: Drag purchase orders and transfers between board columns — The Kanban boards are now interactive: drag a card to a new column to change its status, with mouse, touch or keyboard.

New: Desktop layout for receiving POs and transfers — On desktop, receiving shows an inline table of expected, received and remaining quantities with a keyboard-friendly Receive now column, ideal for keying in a delivery.

New: Count by brand, tag or product, with a USB scanner on desktop — Scope a stock take to brands, tags or individual products and split zones by brand and product type. On desktop, counting works hands-free with a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner.

New: Rename, archive, delete, reopen and reverse stock takes — Stock takes can now be tidied up after the fact, and a finalised take entered by mistake can be reversed, undoing exactly the stock changes it applied.

Improved: Mistake-proof stock-take counting on POS — Each line shows green for a match and red for short or over, quantity entry no longer defaults to a one-tap count, and you can undo counts and are warned before finishing with gaps.

Improved: Six-month seasons are now recognised — Seasonality classification now looks at both 13- and 26-week windows, so products with a long selling season are classified as seasonal.

Improved: Seasonal patterns aren't distorted by stock-outs — Seasonal analysis now weights weeks by how available stock was, rather than simply masking stock-out weeks, so a sell-out doesn't masquerade as a seasonal dip.

Improved: Seasonal items show a "trough rate" in Planning parameters — For seasonal products, the rate of sale in the Planning parameters grid is labelled as the off-season trough rate so it isn't mistaken for peak demand.

New: Early access: see why a seasonal forecast looks the way it does — Seasonal Replay early-access stores get last year's sales overlaid on the forecast, a confidence tier, a season tracker comparing sales to plan, and a plain-English "Why this forecast" panel.

Fixed: Purchasing screens load reliably with correct paging — Fixed slow or incomplete loading on the Purchasing tabs and made the supplier picker respond correctly.

New: Auto-link products to suppliers by vendor or tag — Assign a supplier to every product with a given Shopify vendor or product tag in one step instead of linking products one at a time.

New: Merge duplicate suppliers — Combine duplicate supplier records (for example ones left behind by a Stocky migration) into one, keeping their products and history.

New: Every product gets a seasonality class — Products are classified as highly seasonal, seasonal, non-seasonal or new in season, shown on the Planning tab and filterable in the inventory list. Override by product, category or vendor, or with the Shopify tags ig:seasonal and ig:not-seasonal.

New: Peek at a product without leaving the reorder or PO screen — Open a quick product preview straight from a reorder suggestion or a purchase order line.

Improved: Sort reorder lines by ABC, SKU, quantity or order value — Work a long supplier order top-down, with each line's ABC class shown in its own column.

New: Imported purchase history now shows on each product — Historical purchase orders imported from Stocky or a CSV appear alongside in-app POs on the product's purchase history.

Improved: Searchable, alphabetised dropdowns and lists — Large dropdowns across the app are now searchable and sorted A to Z, suppliers can be sorted, and lists no longer stop silently at a hidden page limit.

Fixed: Deactivated locations stay deactivated, plus link fixes — Locations you switch off in Settings are no longer turned back on by a sync and are hidden everywhere; "View in Shopify" opens the right product, and calculation details stay available after the nightly refresh.

Fixed: Sales revenue now reconciles with your orders — Discounts and tax are now applied correctly in sales history, including order-level discounts and fully discounted promo lines, so revenue figures match Shopify.

Fixed: No more runaway forecasts for items new to a location — Products newly stocked at a location no longer inherit inflated demand, preventing oversized forecasts and suggestions.

Improved: Steadier suggestions for items with little sales history — Items with only a handful of sales are no longer over-ordered from a thin data point, and the out-of-stock safety net now sizes orders on real evidence of demand.

Improved: Suggested quantities are always whole units — Order suggestions are rounded up to whole units when they are created.

New: Backup-stock-only locations — Mark a warehouse as backup stock only: it holds overflow for the stores it feeds without the app trying to keep its own shelves stocked.

Fixed: Inventory value counts only locations you plan for — The dashboard now values stock at your replenishment locations rather than every Shopify location, so excluded dropship or damaged-goods locations no longer inflate it.

Fixed: Suggestions clear when a location is excluded or deactivated — Live order suggestions and forecasts at locations you exclude from reordering or deactivate are now retired automatically.

Fixed: Honest labels when there isn't enough data — Demand variability now shows "insufficient data" instead of labelling low-history items as volatile.

New: Import a purchase order from CSV — Build a new purchase order by uploading a CSV of SKUs and quantities from the New Purchase Order screen.

New: Skip suggestions for items that haven't sold, and dismiss in bulk — An optional setting hides reorder suggestions for items with no sales in a window you choose (new and deliberately stocked items are exempt), and suggestions can be dismissed in bulk.

Improved: Zero-stock alerts only for items you actually sell — The out-of-stock safety net now checks for real demand or stocking intent before suggesting an order.

Improved: Clearer supplier-document matching — The match screen for uploaded supplier documents gives visible feedback when resolving lines and searches consistently.

Fixed: Seasonal patterns apply correctly again — Fixed cases where detected seasonal patterns were rejected or not applied, including for newly onboarded stores.

Fixed: Incoming stock and fulfilment locations stay correct after syncs — Incoming quantities from open POs are no longer wiped by a stock sync, and sales are attributed to the location that actually fulfilled them.

Improved: Truthful onboarding progress — Onboarding progress now reflects what has really finished, and the Stocky import waits for your catalog to sync first.

New: Receive from a supplier invoice or packing slip — Upload a supplier document and the app reads it, matches each line to your open POs, flags shortages, substitutions and price changes, and receives across several POs at once, recording backorders and drafting a dispute email if needed.

New: Create products straight from unmatched invoice lines — Lines on a supplier document that don't match anything can be linked to an existing product or created as a draft Shopify product without leaving the receiving flow.

New: Bundle Genius is live on the Shopify App Store — Our standalone bundle app launched with a Free plan and a $29/month Pro plan for AI-built bundles, Smart Pricing, slow-mover opportunities and performance tracking.

New: Inventory Genius and Bundle Genius on the same store — Both apps can now be installed side by side on one Shopify store without interfering with each other.

Fixed: Money shown in your store's currency — Prices and costs are now formatted in your store's own currency instead of US dollars.

Fixed: Form fields respond reliably across the app — Fixed a large number of inputs and dropdowns that were not registering changes.

Fixed: Supplier SKU links and clearer supplier errors — Repaired links between supplier products and inventory, added clear messages for duplicate supplier codes, and fixed product search in supplier matching.

Improved: Smart Pricing sits beside your bundle as you build it — The margin-aware price suggestion now appears inline in the builder's metrics sidebar, along with smoother scrolling and loading.

Improved: Manage your Bundle Genius plan in the app — Upgrade to Pro, manage your plan or downgrade to Free from inside Bundle Genius, and declining an upgrade no longer leaves you in a confusing state.

Improved: AI bundle copy sticks to the facts — AI-generated bundle titles and descriptions are now guided to avoid inventing product claims.

Fixed: "All suppliers" no longer empties the inventory list — Selecting All suppliers in the inventory filter now shows every product as expected.

Fixed: Create and import transfer orders from the Transfer orders tab — The Create transfer and CSV import actions are back on the Transfer orders tab in Purchasing.

Fixed: Add and remove static fields in WMS export templates — WMS export settings in the app can once again add and delete static fields, not just edit existing ones.

Improved: Demand variability measured weekly across all locations — XYZ (demand predictability) classification now uses weekly buckets and total sales across your locations for a fairer read on how steady an item's demand is.

Fixed: Receiving works for items not yet stocked at a location — Receiving now activates items at a location that hadn't stocked them before, and a failed update to Shopify is no longer shown as synced.

Fixed: Bundle sales counted once per order — Bundle sales are no longer double-counted when Shopify resends an order notification.

Improved: Faster Bundle Genius with live progress during AI generation — Bundle Genius loads faster, shows animated progress while AI writes your bundle content, and its performance dashboard now covers a rolling 30 days.

New: Cost changes in Shopify reach the app immediately — Editing a product's cost in Shopify now updates Inventory Genius straight away instead of waiting for the weekly refresh.

Improved: Faster Locations screen and lighter page loads — The Locations screen now loads with a couple of queries instead of several per location, and the app loads only the code each page needs.

Fixed: No more stuck "Unsaved changes" bars — The Shopify save bar no longer lingers after you've saved or left a page.

Improved: More reliable connection to your Shopify store — We moved to Shopify's latest secure access tokens, so long-running background syncs stay connected.

New: Shelf display quantity and your own coverage days — Set a minimum shelf display quantity and the number of days of stock you want to cover; the app never plans below them, and a badge shows when display quantity is driving the minimum.

New: Export and bulk-import planning parameters by CSV — Download min/max and planning settings to a spreadsheet, edit them, and import them back with column mapping, from the Purchasing tab header.

Improved: Stores replenish from their hub by default — A store linked to a warehouse now tops up from that warehouse automatically, without per-product routing setup.

Fixed: The lead time you see is the lead time used — Min/max calculations now use exactly the lead time shown on screen.

Improved: Simpler, consistent pack sizes and reorder triggers — One replenishment multiple controls pack rounding, and store top-ups consistently trigger when stock reaches its minimum.

Fixed: Rate of sale uses the exact window you expect — Fixed an off-by-one-day window that slightly understated rate of sale.

New: Let a 3PL or external WMS own stock at a location — Per-location settings let a third-party warehouse manage stock and control whether receiving a PO there updates inventory in Shopify.

New: Push any product from a warehouse to a store — Add products with no calculated need to the replenishment planner for seasonal pushes, new-product seeding or manual top-ups. Warehouse orders now account for store demand and open POs.

Improved: POS Sales Snapshot rebuilt for the shop floor — A one-screen view of what sold, compared with the previous three periods, with units per top seller and product plus option names.
