Assisty is an inventory replenishment optimization tool for Shopify stores, with its core being an AI inventory assistant named Atlas. Atlas can understand merchants' sales performance, explain the origin of every replenishment number, and turn decisions into purchase orders. The tool is designed to help merchants answer the question of "when to replenish and how much to replenish," making purchasing decisions clearer and more actionable.
Main capabilities:
- Deeply syncs a Shopify store's products, sales history, inventory levels, suppliers, and open purchase orders, and automatically keeps them updated to ensure recommendations are based on real data rather than estimates.
- Provides a Smart Buying Table that gives AI-recommended replenishment quantities for each SKU, and displays related findings (with monetary impact) as well as one-click fix actions.
- Demand forecasting: supports sales forecasts for products and variants, what-if scenario simulations, and out-of-stock risk flags to help merchants anticipate demand in advance.
- Automatic purchase order drafting: can automatically generate purchase order drafts on a schedule, with quantities subject to maximum inventory limits and grouped by supplier, while also providing an approval queue so merchants retain final control.
- Explainability: every recommended quantity shows the basis for its calculation, including sales velocity, coverage period, in-transit inventory, and current on-shelf inventory. For example, recommending an order of 96 Alpine Water Bottles will show sales velocity of 8/day, coverage period (14 days) 112, in-transit purchase orders −10, resulting in a recommended order of 96.
- Natural language Q&A: merchants can use everyday English to ask about inventory, sales, KPIs, or questions such as "what should I restock," and receive actionable answers.
How to use:
- Install Assisty from the Shopify App Store in just a few clicks, with no spreadsheet uploads and no dedicated project setup required.
- Assisty automatically syncs store data, including products, sales history, inventory, suppliers, and open purchase orders.
- Ask Atlas about sales and replenishment recommendations, review its reasoning, and then create purchase orders as needed.
- Once syncing is complete, the first batch of replenishment recommendations is available.
Use cases: Suitable for all kinds of Shopify merchants, especially stores with a large number of SKUs, many suppliers, and a high volume of purchase orders. Officially, it is mentioned that some users manage 25,000+ SKUs, 1,000+ suppliers, and thousands of purchase orders per year, and Assisty is considered able to replace Stocky, with better userexperience, additional features, and premium support. The tool is also suitable for merchants who want to avoid stockouts or excess inventory and need data-driven replenishment decisions.
Limitations and notes: Official materials do not mention a free trial, specific pricing, or plan information, so none is currently provided. Assisty is only for the Shopify platform, and it is not stated whether other e-commerce platforms are supported. All recommendations are based on synced real data, but merchants still need to review and approve purchase orders themselves.
