Why is there not more talk about Stocky disappearing? We use it exclusively for inventory tracking, creating PO’s and receiving orders. The PO feature in shopify is brutally inadequate. Using it takes more than triple the time to place an order.

PegNorman, you’re not alone - there’s been a lot of quiet frustration about this.

Most merchants relying on it heavily are in the same position as you, using it as a core inventory workflow tool rather than just a light PO system…

That “separating functions” point feels like the core tradeoff a lot of merchants are now running into. Specialized tools can absolutely solve individual problems well: forecasting, PO workflows, receiving, inventory counts, supplier management. But once those workflows span multiple systems …
