The Shopify app, designed to eliminate phantom inventory known as "ghost stock," highlights the significance of addressing overselling caused by inaccurate inventory counts, leading to refunds, customer dissatisfaction, and loss of rank. This one-click application, fully embedded within Shopify's system, offers merchants the ability to run scans, identify at-risk SKUs, and receive alerts through email or Slack for those opting for the Pro subscription. The app provides features such as a ghost-stock detection engine that compares sell-through data against current stock, user-definable low-stock alerts, and multiple inventory location management with the Pro version. Key functionalities include automated scan scheduling, alert notifications, CSV export, and beautiful UI integration. Pricing is set at £14.99 monthly for the Starter plan and £29 for the Pro plan, with an annual payment option offering savings.
The technical stack includes Next.js for the frontend, Node for backend processes, and PostgreSQL for its database needs, ensuring compliance with GDPR standards. Prospective buyers are offered full access to source code and support for app deployment and domain transfer. Despite being pre-revenue, the app suggests viable monetization avenues through strategic upgrades and targeted user prompts. Growth potential is seen in app store optimization, enhanced analytics, additional features like user roles, and seamless integrations with third-party services. Operationally, the app requires minimal oversight, with planned enhancements for team efficiency. The current owner is seeking a growth-driven buyer ready to scale the app’s reach within the Shopify ecosystem.
