Stockroom ‑ Purchase Orders

So far so good. Everything works great however missing two key standard features. For now you cannot send your POs automatically to multiple emails. You need to be able to put more than one email address separated by a comma in the email field as we need to send our POs to our suppliers' order desk, and copy our rep and ourselves. Most PO apps can do this automatically. Also, we cannot edit the PO template. We do not want to see "cost" and "total" fields in our POs. Other apps allow PO template customization. If these two things can be added, I'll be back!

Updated Aug 8th - Wow, after exchanging with David, the two requirements were actually implemented. Apparently these were high on their priorities. The application now has all of the features we need to move forward. This will be a great upgrade from Stocky.

Thanks to David and the development team from MyWorks for being so responsive.

Stockroom has been a perfect alternative to Stocky (better in fact because we already use MyWorks). I prefer it to the native Shopify PO system which I found cumbersome and lacking in features. Currently, Shopify isn't offering an API to move the PO's from their native system to QuickBooks which is essential for our business. I highly recommend this app. Customer service is great too and responds quicky to my questions and suggestions!

YES!! I have been through 8 different apps trying to find a decent replacement for Stocky since Shopify decided to retire it. All of them were lacking some feature - usually stock takes or adjustment functionality, cumbersome cvs reports to then upload into Shopify, no reports at all, weird Purchase Order functionality, or no live updating of cost per unit in Shopify. Or, they charge a ridiculous monthly fee.

THIS IS IT!! Stockroom has great forecasting that I can adjust by each product for lead times (this does take a bit of time). It has stock takes that I can either scan in or manually enter (love this feature), and the same with adjustments (so important for us in case of audit). We manufacture most of our product offering so we need something that has all these features. It does the instant update to the product cost per unit. It looks to also have the capacity to sync with QuickBooks, but I don't need that function so I can't speak to it.

What is the most impressive to me is that I reached out to them about how the Purchase Order was functioning as I don't really scan out products in. We needed it to be easier to add the products manually. They literally had it fixed in 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES! I have never seen such excellent customer service.

Thank you for making a wonderful app and making it free.

So far so good.

I've been looking for a replacement for Stocky since its being discontinued at the end of next month. Stockroom had a native Stocky Import feature so I've not lost any of my purchase orders, Suppliers, or vendors. Plus it shares a very similar workflow so training my staff on the platform will be quick and easy.

I had a small issue with how the barcode scanning adding products worked, so I reached out to the AI Chatbot (I'm usually not a fan, but Atlas was surprisingly good) which sent my concerns to the dev team and within *THREE HOURS* I was given not only a response from a human, but a resolution. That is insanely quick, and anyone coming from Stocky will find themselves happy with the service.

I'm still testing the rest of the platform but so far it ticks all the boxes my business needs to operate, with seemingly no disruption.

With Stocky going to EOL and the capabilities of the built-in Shopify POs wanting, we decided we needed to change our Inventory master back to Quickbooks. We had just finished the implementation when MyWorks brought out Stockroom, for free! I was reluctant to test it, as we were working just fine with QBDT Enterprise handling it all, but I am glad we did! The user interfaces are so much more modern and the team likes them way better. The Stockroom team has been receptive to feedback and it is getting better by the day. We are now doing all our POs in Stockroom and they sync to our QBDT just fine. We are about to start testing the new stock take and adjustment features as well. I also like that it brought all of our adjustment and PO history in from Stocky-- so we aren't missing a thing.
Thanks!

Add on to initial review below - upgraded to five stars for a few reasons:

1. Team is very responsive at the moment. Other Devs have been in the past, then service declined as numbers of customers increased but, hopefully they don't follow the pattern. Great service at the moment, though.
2. They've addressed many of my concerns and have deployed more than one improvement since I started working with their App a few weeks ago. Super excited about the ChatGPT and Claude plug-ins!
3. A lot of my initial issues were due to me not reading any documentation so, I started with 3 stars, moved them to 4 and finally settled on 5. Who reads docs anyway? LOL

That being said, I really hope we get a filter that allows us to order based on ABC classification. Our catalog is rather large and growing weekly: we don't always want to restock everything, some things are a one time buy so, being able to only restock A and B titles would be extremely helpful.

-------
Only been using it for a day but excited to see where the devs take this app.

4 stars for now because the app lacks a few functionalities that would take it from good to great:

1, The predictive restock functionality is pretty decent, but lacks any ability to narrow down your restocks by any criteria. It needs things like being able to narrow down purchase order creation more (all items tagged with, items that sold in the last 7 days, etc.). Right now, it generates purchase orders based on whatever it thinks you need to restock from a Vendor: there is no way to narrow that selection down other than to delete items by hand.

2. Purchase orders are created with 'split' destinations between multiple locations. There is no way to change that destination in the purchase order.

3. There is no 'merge' functionality for multiple purchase orders that arrive as one shipment.

Despite these deficiencies in the purchase order functionality, the receiving process is smooth, easy to understand and well guarded against errors.

Hoping to come back with an edit to this review with a bump up to five stars.

I'm new to Shopify and started right as Stocky was being discontinued, so I went hunting for a replacement and found Stockroom.

Purchase orders were the piece I was most intimidated by, and Stockroom made them painless. I build and send unlimited POs to suppliers as clean PDFs, and it handles all the details I didn't know to think about: costs, currencies, lead times, and pack sizes per supplier. When stock arrives I receive it in full or partial quantities across locations, and my Shopify inventory updates in real time. It will even send me Slack messages when my inventory is low.

The extremely simple migration brought everything over from Stocky so easily without losing any data. For a brand-new store owner watching every dollar, this is saving me money I don't have. Stockroom took the hardest part of running my shop and made it the part I worry about least. I can't recommend this enough to other Shopify owners.

We recently integrated Stockroom into our workflow, and it has been a very positive experience. The software is user-friendly, reliable, and has helped streamline many of our daily processes, making our work more efficient.
One thing I especially appreciate is that the development team actively listens to customer feedback and continues to make improvements based on real user needs. It's great to see a company that values its customers and is committed to enhancing the product over time.
Overall, Stockroom has become a valuable tool for our team, and I would recommend it to businesses looking to improve their operations and workflow.

I can’t believe this app is free.
Like many other Shopify sellers, we were using Stocky for PO management. We started looking for alternatives when the discontinuation news hit. We found a few viable options but nothing that could fully replace Stocky at a reasonable price.

Eventually we came across Stockroom. There’s a one-click migration option from Stocky that allowed us to set up in just a few minutes without rebuilding our supplier and PO info from scratch, and without losing any historical data.

The app not only fully replaces stocky but it solves some issues we had with it through better customisation and demand forecasting. Fully recommend it, especially if you’re coming from Stocky and have been looking for an alternative.

If the end of Stocky has you scrambling for a replacement that doesn't cost almost as much as your monthly POS subscription, Stockroom is the best candidate I've found so far. Unlike Shopify admin's native PO generation, Stockroom allows you to filter by vendor and tags. It's the closest option I've found to my normal workflow in Stocky while still being free. Would rate higher if I could.
