The problem

Your inventory decisions are scattered

Shopify tracks what you have. It doesn't tell you what to buy next, what's about to stock out, or where to move the units you're already sitting on.

Spreadsheets

Forecasts live outside Shopify

Sales velocity is in one tab, on-hand stock in another, inbound POs in a third. By the time you reconcile them, the numbers are already stale.

Blind buys

POs don't reflect what's already inbound

You reorder a SKU only to realize there's a container arriving next week. Without inbound stock in the math, you double-buy or buy too late.

Stranded stock

One store sells out while another overflows

Inventory sits in a location that isn't selling it. Nobody flags the mismatch, so you discount what you have and reorder what you don't.

Our Story

Built by a merchant, for merchants

Alfred was born out of frustration. As the founder of Capy, a scrub cap brand that scaled from zero to a seven-figure annualized run rate in under two years, I spent hours every week in spreadsheets trying to figure out what to reorder, when, and how much. Existing tools either tracked inventory without forecasting, or forecasted without acting on it — and none of them told me when to move stock between locations as we expanded. So I built Alfred — the inventory tool I wished I had from day one, with the rebalancing and transfer recommendations that were always missing.
Control Center

One view of what needs attention

Alfred's dashboard pulls every inventory signal into one screen — across buying, selling, and movement — and links each metric straight into the workflow that resolves it.

See what needs attention

Stockout risk, overstock, best sellers, and open purchase work surfaced in one place — no digging through reports to find the products that move the business.

Track inventory health

Stock value, weeks of supply, and location availability across every SKU and store. Spot drift before it becomes a problem.

Jump straight to action

Every card links into a forecast, purchase plan, or transfer workflow. Go from insight to decision without leaving the dashboard.

Inventory Intelligence

Inventory intelligence that stays tied to action

Every metric Alfred surfaces — health, projections, alerts — links into the workflow that resolves it. No more reports that go nowhere.

Inventory Snapshot

Health metrics across every SKU and location

Stock levels, total value, weeks of supply, and per-location availability — surfaced together so you can spot the products that need attention without exporting a single CSV.

Demand Projections

Sales-velocity-based projections with stockouts called out

Alfred projects future stock using sales velocity, growth assumptions, current on-hand, and inbound POs — then flags every product likely to stock out inside your lead-time window.

Purchase Plans

Four ways to build the right order

Alfred turns demand intelligence into ready-to-execute Purchase Plans — calculated down to the unit, supplier, and pack size. Pick the strategy that matches the product.

Meet Forecasted Demand

Calculate reorder quantities from sales velocity, growth assumptions, current stock, and inbound POs.

Maximize Margin ROI

Allocate a fixed budget across products to maximize gross-margin return on every dollar spent.

Maximize Restock Coverage

Restock as many products as possible while balancing weeks of supply across the catalog.

Min/Max Replenishment

For stable, non-seasonal products with fixed reorder points. When stock at a location hits its minimum, Alfred recommends ordering back up to your target — perfect for basics, staples, and continuity products.

Every Purchase Plan calculates recommended quantities, costs, and lead times — with fully transparent formulas, not a black box. See exactly how every number is derived, then convert to a purchase order in seconds.

Shopify-native transfers between locations. Track every shipment from draft to received — with milestone progress, multiple packages per transfer, and two-way sync to Shopify Admin.

Full lifecycle, milestone-tracked

Every transfer moves through Draft → Ready to Ship → In Transit → Received. A milestone bar shows where every shipment is at a glance.

Multi-shipment per transfer

Split a single transfer across multiple packages — each with its own tracking number, ship date, and receive event. Useful for split shipments and partial deliveries.

Two-way Shopify sync

Transfers are created in Shopify Admin automatically. Cancellations propagate in both directions, so your Admin and Alfred never drift.

Audit & Accounting

And prove every move

Every transfer in your store — Alfred-created or not — appears in the Review Inventory Transfers report, with historical cost at the transfer date and a CSV export your accountant will actually use. Built for end-of-month reconciliation and audit support.

See the audit report

Audit-grade reporting

Review Inventory Transfers surfaces every transfer in your Shopify store — including ones created in Shopify Admin or by other apps. Filter by date, location, and status; expand any row for per-line detail.

Historical cost at transfer date

Inventory cost on every transfer is resolved against your cost history at the creation date — so accounting and tax filings reflect the cost that was actually in force, not today's price.

Accountant-ready CSV export

Export any filtered view as one-row-per-line CSV with parent transfer context, a currency_code column on every row, and RFC-4180 quoting. Open it in Excel, Numbers, or hand it straight to your accountant.

Recommendation

Standard Rebalance

High priority
Main WarehouseAbove targetBrooklyn StoreBelow minimumMove 12
Balance Stock across Locations

Move stock where it sells

Alfred watches every location and recommends transfers when one store has too much and another has too little — using per-location min/max thresholds, net of any transfers already in flight.

See Balance Stock in action

Three recommendation types

Standard rebalance (one location is over target, another is under), stockout rescue (a location has hit zero with stock available elsewhere), and emergency rescue (a high-priority site needs cover now).

Priority scoring 0–100

Every recommendation gets a score blending stockout severity, gap to minimum, source position post-transfer, threshold completeness, and sync freshness — then rolls up to High / Medium / Low.

Bulk-create draft transfers

Approve recommendations in bulk; Alfred groups them by source → destination pair in a preview modal so you can review before committing. One click turns them into draft Stock Transfers.

Smart guardrails

Built so you can trust the queue

Recommendations are scored against in-flight transfers, per-variant-per-location thresholds, and how fresh your inventory sync is — so the next action surfaces at the top, and shaky data gets de-prioritized instead of acted on.

Net of 3 in-flight transfers3 of 23 shown

Net of in-flight transfers

Already-in-progress transfers reduce the source's available inventory and add to the destination's projected stock — so Alfred won't double-recommend the same move and won't overdraw a location.

Per-variant-per-location thresholds

Set min and target inventory per variant per location — granular enough that a Brooklyn store can carry 6 of a SKU while the LA warehouse carries 60. Thresholds drive both Balance Stock and Min/Max replenishment.

Completeness & freshness guardrails

Alfred down-weights recommendations when threshold coverage is sparse or when your last inventory sync is stale — so you never act on a confidently-wrong number.

Product Performance

Know which products deserve inventory

Not every SKU earns its shelf space. Alfred benchmarks every product across revenue, velocity, sell-through, margin, and growth — so the next reorder, transfer, and markdown decision goes to the right place.

ABC-XYZ Analysis

Every product classified by revenue contribution (A/B/C) and demand variability (X/Y/Z). Your best-sellers, slow-movers, and erratic SKUs surface automatically.

Deep Product Analysis

Drill into any SKU for sales velocity, sell-through, weeks of supply, gross margin, and daily trend charts — with period-over-period comparisons built in.

Sales History & Trends

Slice historical revenue and growth by product, collection, location, and channel. See what's carrying the business and what's quietly dragging.

Setup

Configure once. Every workflow gets smarter.

Supplier details, MOQs, lead times, barcodes, and per-location min/max thresholds feed every recommendation across Alfred — from Purchase Plans to Balance Stock to alerts.

Suppliers

Contact details, payment terms, and supplied products linked to every SKU.

MOQs & pack sizes

Minimum order quantities and case packs respected in every Purchase Plan.
