From connected store to drafted POs in three steps
No spreadsheets, no manual demand math. Forthcast turns your Shopify history into ranked, ready-to-send replenishment.
Connect Shopify
Connect the Shopify store so Forthcast can read its sales history and begin modelling demand from the merchant's own data.
Forecast every SKU ~a year ahead
Forthcast models demand for each SKU — seasonality, trend and velocity — up to about 12 months ahead.
Ranked reorders + auto-drafted POs
The moment a SKU dips below its reorder point, it's ranked by revenue impact and a purchase order is drafted. You review and send — nothing orders itself.
Everything you need to keep inventory in balance
Built for Shopify merchants who want clearer forecasting and merchant-controlled replenishment without a per-SKU bill.
AI demand forecasting
Every SKU is modelled from your own sales history — capturing seasonality, trend and velocity up to about 12 months ahead.
Draft purchase orders
Forthcast drafts each PO with the right quantity and timing. You review and send — nothing is ordered without you.
Reorder-point alerts
Get flagged the moment any SKU dips below its reorder point — ranked by revenue impact so the urgent ones surface first.
Safety-stock optimization
Right-size buffers per SKU against demand variability and lead times — enough to avoid stockouts, not enough to tie up cash.
Multi-location stock views
See inventory by location, so reorder decisions reflect where stock actually sits. Demand forecasts and reorder points remain store-wide.
Seasonality & BFCM
Forecasts learn your seasonal peaks and ramp orders ahead of Black Friday / Cyber Monday — so you stock the surge, not the regret.
Real product, real screens
The dashboard, projections, accuracy tracking and settings you'll use every day.
Screens from the Forthcast app
Stands out for the reorder cycle
“We’ve tested several Shopify apps to improve our repeat purchase flow, but this one stands out because of how well the reorder cycle is actually implemented.”
Great Stocky alternative
“So far so good! It looks like this app will do more than Shopify’s Stocky and will do it better. The support has been amazing. Very responsive and interested in what we need.”
One flat price. No SKU tiers.
Most forecasting tools charge per SKU, per order line, or by usage tier — so the bigger you grow, the more you pay to plan. Forthcast doesn't.
Tiered seat counts, per-SKU add-ons and usage overages — the cost of planning climbs exactly as your catalog does.
- Per-SKU fees that punish a growing catalog
- Usage tiers and overage surprises
- Bills that get unpredictable at scale
One flat price for your whole catalog — forecasting and auto-drafted POs for every SKU, no per-SKU fees, no usage tiers.
- Flat $19.99/month with no SKU tiers
- No per-SKU fees, no usage tiers
- 14-day free trial · billed through Shopify
One of five separate Forth products
Forthsuite is the umbrella brand, not an app. Each product is installed, priced and run on its own; Forthcast is the forecasting and replenishment one. Use it alone, or alongside the others when a workflow calls for it.
Demand forecasting and replenishment for Shopify: forecast every SKU, rank reorders, auto-draft POs.
