Tightly vs Stocky

Stocky is going away. Move to a plan that isn't.

Shopify has been retiring Stocky, pulling forecasting and transfer features and phasing the app out. If your buying ran on Stocky, here's what a modern, connected plan looks like, and it isn't tied to Shopify POS.

Keep what works. Lose what breaks.

01

You need a Stocky replacement anyway

Shopify has been stripping Stocky back and phasing it out, so the question isn't whether to move, it's what to move to.

02

More than a reorder app

Tightly connects the forecast to the merchandise financial plan, open-to-buy, assortment and markdown, not just purchase orders.

03

Not locked to Shopify POS

Plan across DTC, wholesale, marketplaces and physical stores on one live model.

It shows up in the numbers.

“One of the most exciting propositions we've ever brought into the business. There is so much power under the hood that we honestly can't picture running the category without it now.”
