    Amazing App and Service! If you are selling any perishable stock, or operating in a regulated market where you need to track production batches, this is a great simple solution. Service is among the best, I had some feature requests and Basil scheduled a call to talk through my issue, and help me find solutions even though the issue was really outside of Freshly.

    This app is perfect for tracking expiration dates. The emailed reports are very helpful for knowing in advance which items will be expiring soon and, once the date passes, Freshly deletes the items from our Inventory. The app works well with Shopify, and inventory changes are reflected quickly. My only complaint is that the monthly subscription price is high, compared to other apps. The FREE version works for our needs, but I would subscribe to the paid version, if the price were more within our budget. For now, we are happy with the functionality of the free version of Freshly.
