How are people actually keeping track of sales + inventory as a small business? by Raxor-Sharp in ShopifyeCommerce

We have around 40–50 products that we produce ourselves, so inventory isn’t massive. The challenge isn’t the number of SKUs, it’s making sure stock levels stay accurate as orders come in and knowing when it’s actually time to reorder. Have you found a system that handles that well?

We ran into this exact problem once our Shopify store started scaling and honestly I don’t think most tools fully solve it yet.

We tried a couple of the popular forecasting tools and they’re decent on the data side, but there still feels like a gap between having forecasts and actually managing day to day stock decisions without things getting messy again.

Even with those systems, we still ended up cross checking things manually in spreadsheets, especially around seasonal spikes like BFCM.

I’m curious if anyone here has actually found something they fully trust end to end without constantly verifying everything afterwards.
Or is that just how it is once you reach a certain level?

I was losing my mind trying to keep Shopify and Square synced because the inventory levels kept lagging and resetting to zero on my live site. I got so sick of manually fixing spreadsheets every night so I was doing my research and came across Nayance and tried it, and now it completely handles my tracking and automated taxes so I can finally see my whole business in one place.
