Available now: Looks up exact item names, sizes, SKU codes, lots and serials across locations, including zero stock, issued serials, independent measured quantities, reservations and component-kit capacity. Recalled, expired or uncosted goods are never promised as available.

No training neededNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Explains why a stock number changed, with every move behind it.Working workflow

Available now: Traces every posted receipt, issue, transfer and adjustment with exact before/change/after quantities, independent weights, lot or serial identity, stock cost and the originating native record. Current reservations are shown separately from physical stock.

No training neededNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed

Plans today's cycle count: which shelves to count, by value and risk.Working workflow

Available now: Plans which shelves to count today by warehouse using actual stock risks, recorded count differences, recent adjustments, monthly A and B classes, and verified stock value. Warehouse staff assign and record physical counts separately.

Answers or suggestsPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Turns a count sheet or shelf photo into stock adjustments.Working workflow

Available now: Reads count sheets and readable shelf tags, preserves the original and prepares exact stock differences for quantities, lots, serials and independent measures. Pro routines require a completed matching example. Custom uses a saved owner scope. Physical adjustments and their value still need individual owner approval.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Posts small count differences on its own, under your $ limit.Working workflow

Available now: Posts small count differences on its own within the owner-set value limit: counts typed in the app, finished staff phone counts and exact count sheets, lots and weights included. Serials added or removed, phone-count identities or weights that differ, photo readings and anything over the limit go to a person.

Not includedNot includedNo training neededNo training needed
Sends staff a count list on their phone and checks it as they go.Working workflow

Available now: Sends staff blind count lists in the app for quantities, lots, serials and independent weights. Progress follows completed observations. Growth schedules use an approved example for the same counter and scope. Pro and Custom can schedule directly within the owner’s scope. The owner reviews differences and approves physical posting separately.

Not includedAfter you train itNo training neededNo training needed
Asks for a recount when a count looks wrong, before anything is posted.Working workflow

Available now: Shows a blind recount in Needs You when a recorded count difference exceeds your limit. A matching physical recount comes before separate owner approval.

Not includedNot includedNo training neededNo training needed
Finds dead and slow stock and suggests: discount, return or move it.Working workflow

Available now: Finds dead and slow stock from recorded sales and continuously stocked days, leaving out stock held for orders, targets, transfers and returns. Starter gets one suggestion. Each finding becomes a step: a transfer to a location where it sells, a supplier return request to the supplier who sold it, or a clearance plan whose prices you approve. Growth drafts each step. Pro drafts until you approve one of a kind and save a limit; Custom acts within your limits without teaching. Steps are audited and can be undone while untouched.

Answers or suggestsPrepares it; you approveAfter you train itNo training needed
Flags likely shrink or theft patterns (same item, same shift, again).Working workflow

Available now: Flags repeat negative stock corrections for the same product, warehouse and local shift across its bins. Growth, Pro and Custom receive automatic in-app alerts without training and can configure shift start times. Review the original stock movements to determine the cause.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Moves stock to the right bin after a wrong put-away or mis-scan.Working workflow

Available now: Moves stock to the right bin at one warehouse. When staff scan and count a product in one bin while the records show it in another, or two counts show one bin short by exactly what another has extra, the records follow the stock through a bin transfer. A put-away scanned into the wrong bin becomes a move to the planned bin that staff scan. Pro proposes each correction until taught; Custom corrects alone within unit and value limits. Reserved, picked, counted, batch and serial stock waits for a person. Records corrections can be undone.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Reserves stock for big customers or upcoming orders.Working workflow

Available now: Keeps stock reserved for customers you mark as big, for an expected order on a date, or for a repeating order. Other orders, sales channels and reorder see it as not available; the customer’s own order uses it first, and a one-time reservation ends when that order arrives or on its end date. It never takes stock already promised to other orders, is cut back if stock is lost, and every change is logged and can be undone. Whole-unit products; lots, serials, weights and kits are reserved on their orders. Existing customer orders can also be reserved in full.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Tracks kits and bundles: shows how many you can build now and reorders the parts.Working workflow

Available now: Shows how many of each kit every warehouse can build now and which part limits it, counting shared parts once and leaving out reserved, held, expired and recalled parts. Part reorders come from kit sales, kit assembly and saved kit targets, including kits inside kits. Growth prepares each part order for your approval; Pro and Custom place them on their own through your purchasing rule and plan limits.

Answers or suggestsPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed

Missing sale costs go to review. Automatic safety-stock changes follow the separate job 150 owner rules on Pro and Custom.

No training neededNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Plans the yearly stocktake: freeze, count teams, differences and sign-off.Working workflow

Available now: Plans the yearly stocktake from your rule: the count date, the locations (whole warehouses, areas or single bins) and the count team. On the count date it freezes sales, picks, receipts, transfers and stock value changes at those locations, shares the areas among counters they can reach and sends each a blind count list. A position off by more than your recount limit, in units or value, goes to a second counter for a blind recount. Differences are valued at cost; your sign-off posts them to stock and the books and lifts the freeze. Up to 10,000 whole-unit positions in 50 locations.

Not includedPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Shows stock by age and suggests a write-down for old stock. A person approves write-downs.Working workflow

Available now: Starter gets one suggestion grounded in receipt age. Growth, Pro and Custom show recorded lots, serials, receipt cohorts, FIFO layers and proven transfer origins. The owner reviews the complete weighted-average stock position and supplies its supported net recoverable value. Individual approval records the exact write-down expense and lower carrying value while preserving physical quantities and weights.

Drafts purchase orders from the reorder list, grouped by supplier.Working workflow

Available now: Groups the live reorder list into native unsent supplier drafts across receiving locations. Preserves exact measured quantities, supplier packs and minimums; kit targets create missing-component drafts under the separate kit permission. Existing drafts, undated incoming, unknown costs or changed sources hold new preparation. Buying, sending, physical receipt and payment remain separate.

Prepares it; you approveAfter you train itNo training neededNo training needed
Places reorders on its own, under your $ limits per PO and per week. Growth: only to your Autopilot suppliers, with small limits.Working workflow

Available now: Places repeat reorders from current stock and recorded supplier terms, within authorized suppliers, items, per-order and weekly budgets. The purchase becomes placed after the connected mailbox confirms the supplier email. A failed or uncertain send needs review.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Keeps reorder points and min/max up to date from real sales.Working workflow

Available now: A daily check works out new reorder points and targets for every stocked product and location, including one setting for all locations, from 90 days of recorded sales, lead time and safety stock.

Available now: Compares saved suppliers for each item and receiving location at the requested quantity, accounting for packs and minimums.

Compares exact revised quantities, measured weights, prices and delivery dates from the supplier’s private purchase-order link, a clearly labelled reply on its connected purchase email thread, or a saved supplier confirmation, backorder notice or price update.

Tracks ocean and air shipments and deposits, and keeps ETAs up to date.Working workflow

Available now: Keeps each ocean or air shipment with its purchase orders and its booking, bill of lading, container or air waybill. Arrival dates come from the carrier's tracking or the forwarder's link and apply on their own within your day limit; each linked order's warehouse date moves by the same days, so planning follows, with undo. A product that would run out before the goods arrive goes to Needs you. Deposits and the balance left on each order are checked against posted payments and come due in Needs you; a person pays.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Handles POs in other currencies and alerts you when exchange rates change landed cost.Working workflow

Available now: Purchase orders in another currency keep their own currency. Placing one estimates its cost in your accounting currency at the day’s rate. Goods are booked into stock value at the rate of the day they arrive: your own rate for that day first, otherwise the European Central Bank daily reference rate. Rates are kept with their date and source. A missing or week-old rate stops the receipt and asks. Freight, duty and fees keep their own allocation. Foreign-currency supplier bills and payments still need their separate review.

Answers or suggestsNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Turns staff purchase requests ("we need more tape") into an approval, then a PO.Working workflow

Available now: Turns a short staff request into a decision using the exact saved product name, item code or nickname. The owner chooses a linked supplier and confirms any missing quantity before creating the purchase draft. Staff keep their assigned warehouse access.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Manages blanket POs: scheduled releases against a supplier contract.Working workflow

Available now: Tracks reviewed supplier contracts: products, prices, total units and an optional total value, dates and a schedule of up to 52 releases within a year. On each release date the release becomes a real purchase order in whole supplier packs. With a flex range, each release follows real demand from your stock targets within that range. It never goes over the contract’s units or value or past its last date: it trims, skips or asks. It shows what is called off and what is left. A changed price or a changed linked order stops and asks.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Receiving9 duties
Receiving: permitted control for each plan
Agent dutyStarterGrowthProCustom
Fills the receiving form from the packing slip. A person taps confirm.Working workflow

Available now: Fills one physical receiving review from a saved packing slip. Matches exact supplier codes, PO lines, purchase packs and warehouses. Keeps the actual batches, expiry dates, serials, individual weights and fractional quantities. Uses approved purchase costs. Completed forms count in the time-saved report when you record comparable timings.

Not includedPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Checks what arrived against the PO: short, over or wrong item.Working workflow

Available now: Compares the actual delivery rows you enter from checked goods or an original delivery note with the exact remaining purchase order. Shows short and extra quantities, wrong or ambiguous codes, supplier-pack differences and missing or mismatched actual weights. Keeps the original comparison with its delivery reference. Supports variants, batches, serials, fractional goods and finished kits.

Answers or suggestsNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Opens a claim with the supplier for short or damaged items.Working workflow

Available now: Opens a supplier claim from a checked short delivery, a failed QC inspection or units your team marked damaged when receiving. The email lists the purchase order, receipt, product, quantity and value at the purchase order price, and asks for a credit note, replacement goods or a refund. StockChief follows each sent claim to the supplier’s reply, a credit note or replacement goods, and sends up to two reminders when nobody answers.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Adds photos of damaged boxes to the claim.Working workflow

Available now: Staff take photos of damaged boxes on the phone when receiving, on a delivery check or at a failed QC inspection. StockChief keeps each original JPEG or PNG unchanged, up to ten per delivery and 10 MB each, and prepares a smaller email copy. Up to three photos go with a supplier claim as attachments and stay with the claim record. Photos never decide damage or counts.

Not includedPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Prints labels and tells staff where to put each item away.Working workflow

Available now: After a receipt, prepares browser-printable product, batch, serial and bin labels (no printer driver) and a put-away list with a bin for each item: a taught bin, a bin already holding the product, or the nearest empty bin to packing. Staff confirm each put-away by scanning or tapping on the phone; the stock moves into that bin through an ordinary bin transfer that keeps its batch, serials, weight and cost. Growth confirms suggested bins until one is taught; Pro and Custom choose bins alone once routine work is on. Unclear bins, reserved stock and changed codes wait for a person.

Not includedAfter you train itNo training neededNo training needed
Sends arrived stock straight to waiting backorders.Working workflow

Available now: Routes posted, costed receipts and transfer arrivals to confirmed waiting orders by priority, including the remainder of partial shipments. Uses eligible dispatch warehouses, exact batches and serials, recorded stock units and actual weights, and the order’s captured kit components. A warehouse worker separately confirms physical picking and dispatch.

Not includedAfter you train itNo training neededNo training needed
Updates item cost with landed cost: freight, duty and fees.Working workflow

Available now: When a freight, duty, insurance or handling bill is posted for a recorded delivery, splits it over the goods by units, original cost or weight and moves it from expenses into their stock cost. Quantities and supplier balances stay the same. Pro drafts until you approve a bill of the same kind (supplier or carrier and cost type) and save a limit; Custom posts within your limit without an example. Over the limit, unmatched, unclear, foreign-currency and sold-goods bills wait for you. Posts are audited and undone by a reversing entry.

Not includedNot includedAfter you train itNo training needed
Tells sales and customers when a waited-for item is back in stock.Working workflow

Available now: When an item a customer waited for is back in stock and reserved, StockChief tells the person who handles that customer in Needs you: the salesperson who entered the order, else whoever enters this customer’s orders, else whoever manages sales orders. The customer gets one email per item saying it is reserved, never a date. The first email to a new business customer or a different address needs your approval; online shoppers are not held. Kits and lot or serial items are left to you.

Not includedPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Puts new stock on QC hold until it passes inspection, so it can't be sold early.Working workflow

Available now: Holds new supplier deliveries from the suppliers or products you choose, at one receiving location or all of them, until a person inspects them. Held units, batches, serial numbers and measured goods cannot be sold, reserved, picked, moved or offered on sales channels. A pass releases the goods. Failed goods stay held until they go back to the supplier or you approve a write-off.

Creates sales orders from customer emails and PDFs.Working workflow

Available now: Reads a known customer’s order email, PDF or spreadsheet: products by your code, their own code or a barcode, quantities, prices and the delivery address. Growth prepares the order for your approval. Pro and Custom create and confirm it through the normal order checks and stock reservations when everything matches, the address is on file and it is within your limits. A first order, a new address, a different price, an unclear line or an order over your limit waits in Needs you. One order per email, logged, with undo.

Not includedPrepares it; you approveNo training neededNo training needed
Repeats a customer's usual order from one sentence ("same as last month").Working workflow

Available now: Repeats a customer’s order from one sentence, in Ask or in their own email, in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Dutch (other alphabets are read in English first). “Same as last month” uses last month’s order, “last order” the latest, and “usual” the products in most of their recent orders; StockChief says which it used and prices it today. Growth prepares it for approval until you approve one for that customer or save a rule; Pro and Custom create and confirm it within your limits. A new customer, a new address or anything unclear waits for you.

Available now: Checks each new, changed or confirmed order through the worker for four problems: stock it cannot fill after other orders, holds and protected stock; overdue invoices or a passed credit limit; a missing or incomplete address, or one that changed since the customer’s last order on business and staff-entered orders; and prices below cost, below the customer’s agreed price or further below list than your discount limit. Problems show on the order and in Needs you with the reason. It never changes or cancels an order.

Holds orders for customers who are overdue.Working workflow

Available now: Holds a customer’s open orders when their invoices are overdue past your rule (days overdue, and an optional amount), so nothing on them can be confirmed, picked, packed or shipped. The hold, its reason and who placed it show on the order and in Needs you. It ends on its own when the overdue invoices are paid in full; a partial payment keeps it. A person with accounting access can release a hold or put it back, and every hold and release is audited.

Releases orders to the warehouse in the best pick order.Working workflow

Available now: Releases ready orders to each warehouse in the best pick order: your priority, the ship-by date, the carrier cut-off, then order age. Ready means the ship-from warehouse is chosen, the order is fully reserved there or in its bins (lots, serials and weighed goods too), the address is complete, there is no overdue-invoice hold and the stock is still there; others wait with the reason. Batch size follows your warehouse rule or its busiest shipping day. Growth proposes until taught; Pro and Custom release alone. Releases move no stock, are audited and undo until picking starts.

Builds pick lists and pick waves by zone.Working workflow

Available now: Groups released orders into pick waves by zone: orders that add the fewest new zones go together. Each zone gets its own pick list in walking order, farthest bin first so pickers end near packing. Lots, serials and weighed goods name the exact reserved batch, serial or weight, or which to scan first, earliest expiry or oldest first. Waves follow your rule for each warehouse: most orders in a wave and the last time to start one. Growth prepares waves for a person to start until taught; Pro and Custom start them alone. Scans, packing and handoff stay with staff; waves undo until picking starts.

Picks the cheapest shipping rate that still meets the promise date.Working workflow

Available now: For each packed parcel StockChief fetches current rates from every connected shipping account and picks the cheapest that arrives by the date promised on the order. Arrival is the carrier's date, or its transit days counted from its ship date or the day it quoted. Other currencies are never compared, and PO boxes only get postal services. Starter sees the suggestion and buys with one tap. Growth suggests until the owner approves one at that price or saves the rule, then chooses alone. Pro and Custom choose alone. A missing promise date or no timely rate stops and asks.

Buys shipping labels (within your $ per label).Working workflow

Available now: Buys the label at the rate StockChief chose through the connected carrier account and the worker, within the owner's limits. Growth buys alone up to $25 a label or the owner's lower $ per label; Pro and Custom buy alone once the owner sets a $ per label; any 24-hour limit applies. Starter prepares each label for one tap. Over a limit, Ask me first, pause, observe or the first 14 days leave it for a tap, and a downgrade stops it before the carrier. Cancelling an order before handoff voids its unused label where the carrier can. Each purchase is logged and never repeated.

Tells customers their order has shipped, with tracking.Working workflow

Available now: Emails the customer when a parcel leaves, with the carrier, tracking number and link: once a person records the carrier handoff, or the carrier first scans a label bought here. It goes out once through the connected mailbox. Starter approves each email with one tap. Growth, Pro and Custom send on their own once the owner turns it on; Ask me first, pause, watch-only and the first 14 days wait for a tap. Orders from a connected store are left to the store's own email unless the owner says StockChief tells them.

Splits an order when part is out of stock and ships the rest.Working workflow

Available now: Splits a confirmed shipping order that is partly in stock by your rules: which customers or orders accept partial shipments, the least share or value worth sending now, and how many parts one order may go out in. The part set aside goes to picking through the normal pick list, kits only as whole kits, with batches and serials confirmed at picking. The rest waits on the same order until stock arrives and then ships the same way. The customer can be emailed. Every split is logged and can be undone until its box is packed.

Watches tracking and flags late or lost parcels.Working workflow

Available now: Watches every parcel that has left with a carrier, through carrier webhooks and, when a parcel goes quiet, by asking the connected shipping account. It flags parcels late against the promised date, stalled for three days, or reported lost, damaged, returned or held up, once each, on the order and in Needs you, until delivered or marked handled. Growth, Pro and Custom watch on their own; pause stops it, and watch-only and the first 14 days only flag. If the owner turns it on, customers are told about a delay: written for review, or sent on its own.

Shares out scarce stock between orders by your priority rules.Working workflow

Available now: When open orders need more of a product than a warehouse has free, StockChief shares it by your rules: customer tier, promised date, order date or order priority, completing whole orders first or sharing across orders. Stock can move from a lower-ranked order nobody has started to pick, never from one being picked, packed or shipped. Unclear orders wait for a person, and each split can be undone.

Books freight pickups for pallets (LTL).Limited scope

Available now: Books LTL pallet pickups through your connected ShipStation API freight account and keeps the pickup confirmation and bill of lading with the packed shipment. The packing measurements fill the pallet form. Pallets over the standard LTL limits (96 inches a side, 2,500 pounds a pallet, 15,000 pounds a shipment) stop until a person confirms the carrier takes them, and are never booked by a rule. Hazardous freight is booked with the carrier directly. A quote in another currency stops and asks. Booking never moves stock.

Takes pre-orders on incoming stock and fills them as soon as it arrives.Working workflow

Available now: Takes preorders from known customers through a private preorder page tied to an exact placed purchase order, within the quantity still coming, including decimal quantities and batch or serial goods. When a person posts the receipt, the arrived units are held for the preorders in the order they came in, so no other order can take them. Once all of a preorder’s units are here it is filled: the order is reserved and a shipping order goes to picking. If less stock will arrive, the preorders affected are flagged and you can email the customer.

Checks the ship-to address before buying a label.Working workflow

Available now: Checks the ship-to address before any label is bought, by a person or StockChief, on every plan, with the connected account's own address check. A label waits for a person when the address is incomplete, differs from the order, is called undeliverable by the carrier, or is a home address for a business customer. UPS, FedEx and DHL are never used for PO boxes. A person uses the suggested address or keeps theirs in one press; a format-only fix is applied on its own unless StockChief may not act alone. Every hold and answer is logged.

Differences show on the partner page, the product page and in Needs you until a later count agrees or you explain them. Partner counts never change stock, ownership or value. Plans count on the lower number where a partner counted fewer units, and never add a partner's count to stock you own.

Rolls up stock across several companies or inventories.Working workflow

Available now: Custom keeps one view of all its inventories or companies up to date on its own every 15 minutes: stock by product, matched by code or barcode; low stock and stockouts; and stock value, open purchase orders and sales for each currency, never added together. Products whose codes, barcodes or units disagree are shown side by side to check, not added up. Each person sees only the inventories and figures their access allows, can open the product in each inventory, and can download Excel or PDF. A pause or Ask me first waits for the owner. Lower plans see the plan lock.

Finds duplicates, missing cost or weight, and bad SKUs, and fixes them in bulk.Working workflow

Available now: Finds duplicate products (same barcode, supplier code, SKU or name), missing purchase costs and weights, and SKUs with spaces or characters channels reject. Fills a cost from the latest receipt or supplier price, and a weight from a supplier file or other sizes, only when every source agrees; otherwise it asks. A merge moves channel listings and supplier terms to the product kept and archives the copy with its history; stock is never moved. Starter suggests, Growth drafts a bulk fix list, Pro acts once taught, Custom acts within a daily limit. Every fix is audited and can be undone.

Retires discontinued items and points staff to the replacement.Working workflow

Available now: Retires a product when a checked supplier notice says so, when you mark it, or when its stock has not sold for the days in your dead-stock rule. It is never reordered again, the stock left is sold down (with a clearance plan whose prices you approve), and with none left and no open work it is archived and set to zero on your sales channels. Staff see the replacement on the product page, in order entry, on orders and pick lists, and in Ask. Open purchase orders and mismatched facts stop it; you decide any write-off. Logged and undoable.

Plans stock for a promotion or sale and drafts the POs.Working workflow

Available now: Plans stock for a promotion or sale and drafts the purchase orders, one per supplier. Start from a recorded promotion, which gives its name, dates and products, or enter them yourself, with your extra demand percentage for the promotion days. It uses 90 days of warehouse issues, current promises, dated incoming orders and each supplier’s packs and minimums. Pro reviews each plan and draft. Custom can prepare each supplier’s draft alone within your goods-value limit. Prices never change; approval, sending and payment stay with you, and a draft can be undone.

Forecasts new products using similar items.Working workflow

Available now: Forecasts each product added in the last 90 days from similar items with the same units and at least eight weeks of sales, chosen by you or by explicit rules: the same product, category or brand first, then a selling price within 25% and matching details. The similar items' own forecasts carry their seasons, and the new product's early sales count more each day. With no clear similar item it stops and asks you to choose one.

Spots trends early: an item suddenly selling faster.Working workflow

Available now: Checks every product each day: its last 14 days of confirmed orders and recorded sales against its own forecast from the history before them. A change of three standard deviations, at least 1.5 times faster on three or more sale days or half as slow, is a trend. One unusually large order is left out as a one-off. Trends go to Needs You, and while one lasts planning follows the recent pace until it eases or you dismiss it.

Answers "what if" questions ("what if sales go up 20%?").Working workflow

Available now: Answers five what-if questions from your records, using the run-out calculation: sales up or down by a percentage; selling prices changing, with how far sales could fall and earn the same; supplier costs changing, with the price that keeps today’s margin; a supplier’s deliveries taking more or fewer days, with what runs out and the extra stock to cover it; and losing a supplier, with products that have no other supplier and orders that would not arrive. Each compares today with the what-if case per product, on the page and in Ask. It never guesses how customers react and changes nothing.

Sets safety stock by how often you can afford to run out.Working workflow

Available now: Each day, after the forecasts, sets safety stock for every stocked product and location from your target for its A, B or C class: a percentage of reorders without running out, or how many times a year you can afford to run out. It uses how far sales stray from the forecast, how late deliveries came against their promised dates and the recorded lead time. The reorder point builds on it. Missing facts hold the change with the reason. Every change is logged and can be undone.

Shows when each item will run out, and what running out costs.Working workflow

Available now: Every day, on every plan, works out when each item runs out: free stock after open orders and backorders, against the demand forecast day by day and purchase orders with a delivery date. It shows the next delivery, the gross margin lost each day without stock (selling price less cost) and in total before the delivery, and how many open customer orders would wait. Items that run out before their next delivery go to Needs You, ranked by that cost. Overdue or undated deliveries are listed but not counted.

Available now: Writes a daily team summary on its own after each business day, from the records: who did what (stock receipts, shelf positions counted, pick lines scanned, put-aways confirmed, adjustments, bin moves, inspections, returns and staff tasks done, by person), what is late now (staff tasks past their time, customer orders and purchase orders past their dates, other overdue records) and the exceptions (shortages, put-aways into another bin, failed inspections, counts that differ, refused scans). It shows on its page and in Needs you, and is emailed from the mailbox you choose.

Logs everything it did and why, with undo where possible.Working workflow

Available now: Keeps one log of everything StockChief did on every plan: what it did, why, the rule, limit or approval that allowed it, and its evidence in the audit trail. Undo is one tap where nothing changed since, through the job’s own undo; sent emails, bought labels, orders sent to suppliers, moved stock and posted money show how to correct them. Pro and Custom export the log; Custom also reads it through the API.

Watches Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Woo sync and fixes common errors.Limited scope

Available now: Watches the sync with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Square and Clover and fixes the common errors: it renews a sign-in before it runs out, tries a stock update again after the channel asked it to wait, matches a channel product to the one product with the same SKU code or barcode (with undo), sends a failed stock update again while the channel still shows the last checked count, and registers a lost order webhook again. A refused sign-in and anything else wait for you. Starter suggests each fix. StockChief has no Amazon or eBay connection.

Sets stock buffers per channel so you never oversell.Limited scope

Available now: Keeps whole units, or a share of the stock, back from what each Shopify or WooCommerce channel may sell, to reduce overselling while the channel catches up. StockChief works each buffer out from how fast the product sells elsewhere on its busiest day and how far behind the channel can be. With your rule for a channel, Growth drafts the buffers for approval and Pro and Custom set them on their own up to your limit; bigger ones wait for you. A buffer you set yourself is left alone, and changes can be undone. StockChief has no Amazon or eBay connection.

Sends invoices and bills to QuickBooks or Xero.Limited scope

Available now: Sends open customer invoices and supplier bills to QuickBooks or Xero as invoices and bills, from the date you choose, built from their own books entries and checked against what the books show. Their journals then carry only what the documents do not, so nothing is counted twice. A missing link to a customer, supplier, account, tax code or QuickBooks product stops and asks. A document already in the books under the same number is linked only when it matches exactly, and an unclear send is never repeated until a person checks the books.

Handles EDI orders, ship notices (ASN) and invoices with big retailers. Pro: paid add-on.Limited scope

Available now: Reads each retailer’s EDI orders (850) into customer orders, then sends the acknowledgment (855), a ship notice (856) as each shipment leaves and the invoice (810) once the order is fully shipped and invoiced, through the EDI provider interface. Each retailer is set up once with its customer, warehouse, currency and largest order. An unknown retailer, an unmatched item or unit, a retailer change or a record that no longer matches stops and asks in Needs you. Every document is saved before it leaves and audited, never sent twice. Retailer certification and live network acceptance remain open.

Sends orders to your 3PL and reads their stock and shipping back.Limited scope

Available now: Sends each order confirmed for a warehouse your 3PL runs to that 3PL, then reads its shipping back: each shipment it marks shipped becomes a StockChief shipment with the carrier and tracking number, so stock leaves and the invoice follows. Stock the 3PL reports shows with partner stock and is read again hourly. A missing fact, a shipment that does not match what was reserved or has no tracking, and a lost answer stop and ask; nothing is sent or recorded twice. ShipBob’s sandbox and any 3PL with the same adapter shape work; live 3PL qualification remains open.

Reads your Gmail or Outlook and drafts replies.Working workflow

Available now: Prepares replies to email from known customers and suppliers in your connected Gmail or Outlook, from your records. A reply goes from the mailbox the email came to, in the same conversation. Unknown senders, money, commitments such as dates or cancellations, first emails to someone, attachments, unclear conversations and email another job answers always wait for you. With two mailboxes, nothing goes on its own until you choose one.

Answers you in Slack, Teams or WhatsApp.Limited scope

Available now: Answers you and your staff in Slack, Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp, on Pro and Custom without training. Each person links their own Slack or Teams user with a one-use code, or the mobile number they confirmed for alerts. Answers are private and use that person’s own permissions, so costs reach only roles that may see them; the owner can also read agent reviews. Nothing is changed from a chat; change requests get a link to StockChief. Every answer is audited. Starter and Growth are excluded.

Starts jobs from your other systems (API) and sends webhooks.Working workflow

Available now: Custom starts a registered Agent review, saved report, playbook or routine from another system using an owner-issued API token. Every routine checks its current plan, mode and limits. An idempotency key prevents duplicate starts. Signed webhooks report the result, and the audit trail identifies the API client.

Moves your data in from your old system on day one.Working workflow

Available now: Moves your data in from your old system’s CSV and Excel exports: products, stock by location with value, suppliers, customers, open purchase and sales orders (sales orders unconfirmed), unpaid invoices and bills, and opening books. An unknown table, unreadable value or missing total stops and asks. Records are checked against the export’s totals and every saved balance against the records; a difference stops and asks. Growth drafts the plan; you approve and open the inventory. Pro and Custom do both on their own when all matches, outside the first 14 days, Watch only, a pause and Ask me first.

Warns before stock expires and suggests where to sell it first.Working workflow

Available now: Warns before batches expire, using the warning days you set for every product, a category or one product (30 days if you set none), in the app, in Needs you and by email from your connected mailbox. Each warning shows where to sell first: orders due before it expires, other locations with orders, the channels it is listed on, and a clearance plan for what will be left. Picks take the soonest expiry first. Emails wait during shadow mode, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

Picks oldest or soonest-to-expire first (FIFO / FEFO) when reserving.Working workflow

Available now: Reserves exact FIFO receipt layers or FEFO lots and serials within every native allocated location of a confirmed customer order, including variants, kits and measured goods. Protects other orders, transfers and accepted physical picks. Missing age, expiry, cost or actual independent weight needs evidence. Reservations change no stock or value; people confirm the exact physical goods separately.

Traces a recall in minutes: which customers got which lot.Working workflow

Available now: Finds the customers, quantities and original sales or custody records for an exact lot. Covers warehouse and supplier-direct orders, kit components, rental and outgoing consignment, including goods later returned.

No training neededNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Blocks recalled or expired lots from being shipped.Working workflow

Available now: Blocks recalled or expired batches on every way out: picks and shipments, transfers to another location, the quantity offered on sales channels, kit components, rentals and consignment. Only a write-off or a return to the supplier takes them out. A person places a recall; releasing one always needs a person and a reason, and both are audited. Open transfers and reservations that still name a blocked batch show in Needs you. Blocks hold in every mode, including pause and shadow mode.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed

Prepares audit and compliance reports.Working workflow

Available now: Prepares a compliance report for any period from your records: where each batch came from and went, recall decisions and who received recalled batches, expiry write-offs, stock adjustments with who and why, stocktake sign-offs and quality checks. Each report is frozen and downloads as Excel or PDF. Growth drafts each report for you to finalize. Pro and Custom produce them weekly or monthly on their own.

Shadow mode: for 14 days it only watches, then shows what it would have done and saved.Working workflow

Available now: For a new account's first 14 days StockChief only watches. Reorders, transfers, counts, count lists, credit and delivery holds, payment reminders and tracking emails record what they would have done, with amounts. A report shows the orders it would have placed, the stockouts it would have prevented (from your stock records) and the money it would have caught. When the 14 days end, Needs you asks you to switch on automatic work per area or for everything, or keep watching. Switched-on areas get your plan's highest mode; the rest keep watching, and spending still needs your limits.

Shows how sure it is on every action, and asks when it isn't sure enough.Working workflow

Available now: Every purchase order, transfer, count posting and tracking email shows how sure StockChief is: high, medium or low, with reasons from the facts that action checks: prices and stock, missing facts, earlier orders, counts and delivered emails. When a required fact is missing or does not match it is low and always asks. You choose whether it may act on its own when fairly sure or only when very sure; below that it asks instead. The level shows on the review pages, in Needs you and in Ask.

Gives you a data health score on day one, with a fix list.Working workflow

Available now: Gives a data health score from 0 to 100 on day one, worked out by the worker after each import, once a day and when you ask. Every active product is checked for a usable SKU, a unique barcode, a purchase cost, a weight, not being a duplicate, a supplier, a reorder point, stock not below zero and a count in the last year, with the result for each check. A fix list puts the most urgent first and links to where each fix is made, mostly the bulk fixes for product data. The score shows on its own in Needs you and on its page on every plan, also while StockChief only watches.

Pauses itself if spend or volume looks unusual (circuit-breaker).Working workflow

Available now: Pauses all automatic work on its own when today’s automatic activity is far above a usual day: purchases, transfers, labels, emails to suppliers and customers, changes routines carry out (refunds and credits, stock, landed costs, orders), and price and cost changes, by count, kind and money, against the last 28 days. It tells the owner at once in Needs you and by alert email, during the pause. Only the owner resumes, after confirming the review, and the resume is audited. Nothing trips in the first 14 days or Watch only.

Vacation mode: sends approvals to a deputy while the owner is away.Working workflow

Available now: While the owner is away, every approval that would wait for them goes to their deputy when the deputy may approve it: purchases, transfers, returns, stock changes and write-offs, refunds and credits, landed costs and supplier prices, similar ones in one tap, and a second signature unless the deputy gave the first. Their own permissions and limits apply. Owner-only approvals and private Ask decisions stay with the owner. The first 14 days, Watch only and pause delegate nothing. On return Needs you hands back what was decided.

Hides costs and margins from roles that shouldn't see them.Working workflow

Available now: Costs need purchasing or accounting access; margins, profit and stock value need accounting access, on every plan. Pages, report pages and their PDF and spreadsheet downloads, count worksheets and their CSV, the monthly ROI email, alerts passed to someone else, Needs you and Ask all follow it; the owner keeps every figure. Growth and above show who sees what by role.

Daily "what I did" digest, with one-tap undo.Working workflow

Available now: Writes a daily “what I did” digest on its own on Growth, Pro and Custom. It lists each action with a one-tap undo or how to correct it, opens in Needs you and is emailed from your chosen mailbox.

Needs two people to approve anything over the $ you set.Working workflow

Available now: Two different people, each allowed to approve it, must approve anything over the owner's amount: purchase orders, refunds and credits, stock adjustments and write-offs, and landed-cost postings from any page or routine. Anything in another currency, or whose amount is unknown, also needs two. Each approval is bound to the exact amount, so a change needs fresh approvals, and the same person twice counts once. The second approval goes to the next eligible person's Needs you; where only the owner may post, the owner posts last.

Follows rules you write in plain words ("always split POs over $10k"). Starter: up to 5.Working workflow

Available now: Write a rule in plain words. StockChief reads it without AI as a watch alert, a reorder point or buffer, an always or never supplier rule, combining or splitting draft purchase orders, or who approves what over an amount. It shows exactly what the rule will do and saves it only when the owner confirms, through that kind's own service and the shared rule allowance. A rule that needs a higher plan names that plan. Words it cannot read exactly are refused with the reason and examples. Supplier rules steer reorders and stop to ask when no allowed supplier is left.

Learns from your approvals and stops asking about what you always OK.Working workflow

Available now: Notices when you approve the same routine five times in a row without a change, for every job your plan trains, and offers to stop asking: draft routines, releases, waves, transfers, put-away, bin moves, QC holds, count sheets, reorder points, slow stock, catalogue fixes, retirements, supplier dates, claims, quotes and returns, van routes, check-ins, order pages and invoices. You confirm once and it saves that job’s own rule, within what you approved and your limits. Never for what always needs a person, under Ask me first or Watch only, or in the first 14 days.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Suggests a new rule when it sees you fix the same thing again and again.Working workflow

Available now: Suggests a rule when you make the same fix three or more times in 30 days: stock corrected at one warehouse (a recurring blind count), the quantity raised on draft orders to one supplier (that supplier’s minimum order), the same stock moved between two locations (keep it stocked at the destination), or the same reorder suggestion declined (a lower reorder point). Each rule comes from those records, shows what it would have done, and counts toward your rules once accepted. Price changes are never suggested.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Tests a new rule on past data first and shows what it would have done.Working workflow

Available now: Replays a new rule on your last 90 days of records before it is switched on and shows what it would have done: reorder points and alerts against stock levels, stock protection against outgoing stock, supplier terms against past orders, transfer and purchase limits against past transfers and orders, counts against past corrections, and taught routines against past approvals. The test changes nothing and is kept with the rule when you switch it on.

Learns each customer's and supplier's habits.Working workflow

Available now: Learns each customer's habits from confirmed orders: how often, usual weekday and size, and whether they are due to order. Learns each supplier's from completed deliveries: usual lead time and its spread, on-time rate, and short or over deliveries. Shows them on the customer and supplier pages. A product with no deliveries of its own and no owner lead time plans and dates new orders with the supplier's usual lead time instead of the promise. No limit or setting changes, and this waits in the first 14 days, Watch only and pause.

Not includedNo training neededNo training neededNo training needed
Reads your SOP documents and follows them.Working workflow

Available now: Reads supplied PDF, Word, text and scanned procedures into ordered original quotes, then follows them. Each clause that matches a rule kind exactly becomes a rule you confirm, one by one or all at once; it keeps its link to the clause, counts toward your rules and then applies on its own. Staff steps, unclear or scanned words and anything without an exact rule are kept for people with the reason. Ask can walk through a procedure. 100 AI credits and one document per reading; failed readings refund both.

Not includedNot includedNo training neededNo training needed
Runs your custom playbooks (multi-step jobs), on a schedule too.Working workflow

Available now: Runs your playbooks in order, by hand or every day or week. A step can be a review or work from another job, such as slow stock steps, product data fixes or freight costs, done through that job’s own limits. Each step is checked before the next; the run stops and asks in Needs you when a step fails or leaves work for a person, then continues where it stopped. Scheduled runs keep to the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

Remembers how each manager likes their reports and approvals.Working workflow

Available now: Remembers how each Custom manager likes their reports and approvals: report dates, rows and download format, the order and first filter in Needs you, grouped or one-by-one approvals, the channel approvals reach them on and the hour for new scheduled reports. It learns from that manager’s own repeated choices, never from anyone else’s. A choice on a page always wins, and every preference shows where it came from and can be reset.

Not includedNot includedNot includedNo training needed

You stay in control: payments, refunds, price changes, physical receipts, write-offs, large count changes, new suppliers and authority increases still need the human approvals required by the workflow. Lower limits you set always win.

    Available now: Finds dead and slow stock from recorded sales and continuously stocked days, leaving out stock held for orders, targets, transfers and returns. Starter gets one suggestion. Each finding becomes a step: a transfer to a location where it sells, a supplier return request to the supplier who sold it, or a clearance plan whose prices you approve. Growth drafts each step.

  • Picks the cheapest shipping rate that still meets the promise date.Working workflow

    Available now: For each packed parcel StockChief fetches current rates from every connected shipping account and picks the cheapest that arrives by the date promised on the order. Arrival is the carrier's date, or its transit days counted from its ship date or the day it quoted. Other currencies are never compared, and PO boxes only get postal services. Starter sees the suggestion and buys with one tap. Growth suggests until the owner approves one at that price or saves the rule, then chooses alone. Pro and Custom choose alone. A missing promise date or no timely rate stops and asks.

    Answers or suggests
  • Buys shipping labels (within your $ per label).Working workflow

    Available now: Buys the label at the rate StockChief chose through the connected carrier account and the worker, within the owner's limits. Growth buys alone up to $25 a label or the owner's lower $ per label; Pro and Custom buy alone once the owner sets a $ per label; any 24-hour limit applies. Starter prepares each label for one tap. Over a limit, Ask me first, pause, observe or the first 14 days leave it for a tap, and a downgrade stops it before the carrier. Cancelling an order before handoff voids its unused label where the carrier can. Each purchase is logged and never repeated.

  • Tells customers their order has shipped, with tracking.Working workflow

    Available now: Emails the customer when a parcel leaves, with the carrier, tracking number and link: once a person records the carrier handoff, or the carrier first scans a label bought here. It goes out once through the connected mailbox. Starter approves each email with one tap. Growth, Pro and Custom send on their own once the owner turns it on; Ask me first, pause, watch-only and the first 14 days wait for a tap. Orders from a connected store are left to the store's own email unless the owner says StockChief tells them.

  • Checks the ship-to address before buying a label.Working workflow

    Available now: Checks the ship-to address before any label is bought, by a person or StockChief, on every plan, with the connected account's own address check. A label waits for a person when the address is incomplete, differs from the order, is called undeliverable by the carrier, or is a home address for a business customer. UPS, FedEx and DHL are never used for PO boxes. A person uses the suggested address or keeps theirs in one press; a format-only fix is applied on its own unless StockChief may not act alone. Every hold and answer is logged.

It uses the saved answer language unless you request another one. Model-based answers use AI credits. The default fast answers to exact record questions can run without a model.

    No training needed
  • Shows the records behind every answer.Working workflow

    Available now: Every Ask answer that read records links to them: the list or review filtered the way the answer counted (who owes you, orders placed in the period, the same report run again) and up to twelve of the records themselves. Answers joined from several reads, the agent’s checked answers and reports keep their links. Each person sees only pages their role may open, so costs and money stay with those allowed to see them.

It reads the rule without guessing, shows how it read it and asks back when a name or number is unclear.

Texts and push wait in the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first, where you can send them yourself; each is checked again before it goes out and never sent twice. Live sending needs the server's Twilio account and push keys.

    No training needed

Team & approvals

  • Needs you: one list of every decision, approve similar ones in one tap.Working workflow

    Available now: Needs you is one list of every decision: purchase orders, transfers, returns and prepared changes waiting for approval join the rest, and below Pro they all go to the owner. Similar approvals for the same person (same kind and supplier, route or location, each within that person's limits) are approved or declined in one tap; each still goes through its own service and checks, and any that fail stay with the reason. Two-person approvals and Ask conversations are decided one by one. No groups in the first 14 days or Watch only.

    No training needed
  • Lets you approve from email or phone.Working workflow

    Available now: Sends each approval waiting in someone's Needs you to them once, by email, text or push as you choose, on every plan, with its own link. Opening it approves nothing; the person signs in and sees it as it is now. Purchase orders, transfers, second purchase signatures and suggested QC holds approve with one tap, checked again against the person's permission, limit and any change since they looked; each is audited and recorded once. Other approvals open their own page. Sending waits in the first 14 days, Watch only and Ask me first.

    No training needed
  • Gives staff tasks (count this shelf, pick this order) and checks they're done.Working workflow

    Available now: Drafts each assignment within your limits for you to approve, one at a time or all at once. Nothing reaches a phone before you approve.

  • Answers staff "how do I…" questions inside the app.Working workflow

    Available now: Answers staff “how do I…” questions inside the app on every plan, from the in-app guide. Each answer fits the person’s role, permissions and warehouses and the work the plan includes, and links to the page where the work is done. It covers counts, receiving, sales, transfers and purchasing, and the newer work: pick waves, put-aways, delivery checks, bin moves, staff tasks, team procedures, the daily team summary, customer returns, purchase requests, stock alerts, the yearly stocktake and pausing StockChief. Ask uses the same guide.

    No training needed
  • Daily team summary: who did what, and what's late.Working workflow

    Available now: Writes the summary on its own each day, shows it in the app and Needs you, and emails it from the mailbox you choose. The email waits during the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first, where you can send it from the page.

    No training needed
  • Logs everything it did and why, with undo where possible.Working workflow

    Available now: Keeps one log of everything StockChief did on every plan: what it did, why, the rule, limit or approval that allowed it, and its evidence in the audit trail. Undo is one tap where nothing changed since, through the job’s own undo; sent emails, bought labels, orders sent to suppliers, moved stock and posted money show how to correct them. Pro and Custom export the log; Custom also reads it through the API.

    No training needed

Integrations & channels

  • Watches Shopify, Amazon, eBay and Woo sync and fixes common errors.Limited scope

    Available now: Fixes on its own, without training, after the first 14 days. Pause, routine work being off and Ask me first keep each fix for your approval on the page and in Needs you; Watch only and the first 14 days only show them.

  • Sets stock buffers per channel so you never oversell.Limited scope

    Available now: Drafts each buffer from sales speed and sync lag for your individual approval in Needs you, and keeps the buffers you set in units or as a share of the stock. Each channel quantity is still approved one at a time; automatic buffers need Pro or Custom.

  • Moves your data in from your old system on day one.Working workflow

    Available now: Moves your data in from your old system’s CSV and Excel exports: products, stock by location with value, suppliers, customers, open purchase and sales orders (sales orders unconfirmed), unpaid invoices and bills, and opening books. An unknown table, unreadable value or missing total stops and asks. Records are checked against the export’s totals and every saved balance against the records; a difference stops and asks. Growth drafts the plan; you approve and open the inventory. Pro and Custom do both on their own when all matches, outside the first 14 days, Watch only, a pause and Ask me first.

    Prepares it; you approve

Lots, expiry & recalls

  • Warns before stock expires and suggests where to sell it first.Working workflow

    Available now: Warns before batches expire, using the warning days you set for every product, a category or one product (30 days if you set none), in the app, in Needs you and by email from your connected mailbox. Each warning shows where to sell first: orders due before it expires, other locations with orders, the channels it is listed on, and a clearance plan for what will be left. Picks take the soonest expiry first. Emails wait during shadow mode, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

    No training needed
  • Picks oldest or soonest-to-expire first (FIFO / FEFO) when reserving.Working workflow

    No training needed
  • Blocks recalled or expired lots from being shipped.Working workflow

    Available now: Blocks recalled or expired batches on every way out: picks and shipments, transfers to another location, the quantity offered on sales channels, kit components, rentals and consignment. Only a write-off or a return to the supplier takes them out. A person places a recall; releasing one always needs a person and a reason, and both are audited. Open transfers and reservations that still name a blocked batch show in Needs you. Blocks hold in every mode, including pause and shadow mode.

    No training needed
  • Shows a serial number's full history.Working workflow

    Available now: Shows recorded receipts, both legs of transfers, issues, supplier-direct dispatches and returns for an exact serial, ordered by time and linked to the original product or order.

    Available now: Prepares a compliance report for any period from your records: where each batch came from and went, recall decisions and who received recalled batches, expiry write-offs, stock adjustments with who and why, stocktake sign-offs and quality checks. Each report is frozen and downloads as Excel or PDF. Growth drafts each report for you to finalize. Pro and Custom produce them weekly or monthly on their own. A stock removal with no recorded reason, shadow mode, pause or Ask me first leaves the report as a draft for you.

Trust & safety

  • Shadow mode: for 14 days it only watches, then shows what it would have done and saved.Working workflow

    Available now: For a new account's first 14 days StockChief only watches. Reorders, transfers, counts, count lists, credit and delivery holds, payment reminders and tracking emails record what they would have done, with amounts. A report shows the orders it would have placed, the stockouts it would have prevented (from your stock records) and the money it would have caught. When the 14 days end, Needs you asks you to switch on automatic work per area or for everything, or keep watching. Switched-on areas get your plan's highest mode; the rest keep watching, and spending still needs your limits.

    No training needed
  • Shows how sure it is on every action, and asks when it isn't sure enough.Working workflow

    Available now: Every purchase order, transfer, count posting and tracking email shows how sure StockChief is: high, medium or low, with reasons from the facts that action checks: prices and stock, missing facts, earlier orders, counts and delivered emails. When a required fact is missing or does not match it is low and always asks. You choose whether it may act on its own when fairly sure or only when very sure; below that it asks instead. The level shows on the review pages, in Needs you and in Ask.

    No training needed
  • Gives you a data health score on day one, with a fix list.Working workflow

    Available now: Gives a data health score from 0 to 100 on day one, worked out by the worker after each import, once a day and when you ask. Every active product is checked for a usable SKU, a unique barcode, a purchase cost, a weight, not being a duplicate, a supplier, a reorder point, stock not below zero and a count in the last year, with the result for each check. A fix list puts the most urgent first and links to where each fix is made, mostly the bulk fixes for product data. The score shows on its own in Needs you and on its page on every plan, also while StockChief only watches.

    No training needed
  • Pauses itself if spend or volume looks unusual (circuit-breaker).Working workflow

    Available now: Pauses all automatic work on its own when today’s automatic activity is far above a usual day: purchases, transfers, labels, emails to suppliers and customers, changes routines carry out (refunds and credits, stock, landed costs, orders), and price and cost changes, by count, kind and money, against the last 28 days. It tells the owner at once in Needs you and by alert email, during the pause. Only the owner resumes, after confirming the review, and the resume is audited. Nothing trips in the first 14 days or Watch only.

    No training needed
  • Vacation mode: sends approvals to a deputy while the owner is away.Working workflow

    Available now: While the owner is away, every approval that would wait for them goes to their deputy when the deputy may approve it: purchases, transfers, returns, stock changes and write-offs, refunds and credits, landed costs and supplier prices, similar ones in one tap, and a second signature unless the deputy gave the first. Their own permissions and limits apply. Owner-only approvals and private Ask decisions stay with the owner. The first 14 days, Watch only and pause delegate nothing. On return Needs you hands back what was decided.

    No training needed
  • Hides costs and margins from roles that shouldn't see them.Working workflow

    Available now: Costs need purchasing or accounting access; margins, profit and stock value need accounting access, on every plan. Pages, report pages and their PDF and spreadsheet downloads, count worksheets and their CSV, the monthly ROI email, alerts passed to someone else, Needs you and Ask all follow it; the owner keeps every figure. Growth and above show who sees what by role.

    No training needed
  • Daily "what I did" digest, with one-tap undo.Working workflow

    Available now: Writes a daily “what I did” digest on its own on Growth, Pro and Custom. It lists each action with a one-tap undo or how to correct it, opens in Needs you and is emailed from your chosen mailbox. The email waits during the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first, where you can send it from the page.

    No training needed
  • Suggests what to automate next each month, with the hours it would save.Working workflow

    Available now: Finds repeat approved purchase regroupings each month and estimates future review time from owner timing samples. Teaching the matching rule clears the suggestion.

    No training needed

Training & playbooks

  • Follows rules you write in plain words ("always split POs over $10k"). Starter: up to 5.Working workflow

    Available now: Write a rule in plain words. StockChief reads it without AI as a watch alert, a reorder point or buffer, an always or never supplier rule, combining or splitting draft purchase orders, or who approves what over an amount. It shows exactly what the rule will do and saves it only when the owner confirms, through that kind's own service and the shared rule allowance. A rule that needs a higher plan names that plan. Words it cannot read exactly are refused with the reason and examples. Supplier rules steer reorders and stop to ask when no allowed supplier is left.

    No training needed
  • Learns from your approvals and stops asking about what you always OK.Working workflow

    Available now: Notices when you approve the same routine five times in a row without a change, for every job your plan trains, and offers to stop asking: draft routines, releases, waves, transfers, put-away, bin moves, QC holds, count sheets, reorder points, slow stock, catalogue fixes, retirements, supplier dates, claims, quotes and returns, van routes, check-ins, order pages and invoices. You confirm once and it saves that job’s own rule, within what you approved and your limits. Never for what always needs a person, under Ask me first or Watch only, or in the first 14 days.

    No training needed
  • Suggests a new rule when it sees you fix the same thing again and again.Working workflow

    Available now: Suggests a rule when you make the same fix three or more times in 30 days: stock corrected at one warehouse (a recurring blind count), the quantity raised on draft orders to one supplier (that supplier’s minimum order), the same stock moved between two locations (keep it stocked at the destination), or the same reorder suggestion declined (a lower reorder point). Each rule comes from those records, shows what it would have done, and counts toward your rules once accepted. Price changes are never suggested.

    No training needed
  • Tests a new rule on past data first and shows what it would have done.Working workflow

    Available now: Replays a new rule on your last 90 days of records before it is switched on and shows what it would have done: reorder points and alerts against stock levels, stock protection against outgoing stock, supplier terms against past orders, transfer and purchase limits against past transfers and orders, counts against past corrections, and taught routines against past approvals. The test changes nothing and is kept with the rule when you switch it on.

    No training needed
  • Learns each customer's and supplier's habits.Working workflow

    Available now: Learns each customer's habits from confirmed orders: how often, usual weekday and size, and whether they are due to order. Learns each supplier's from completed deliveries: usual lead time and its spread, on-time rate, and short or over deliveries. Shows them on the customer and supplier pages. A product with no deliveries of its own and no owner lead time plans and dates new orders with the supplier's usual lead time instead of the promise. No limit or setting changes, and this waits in the first 14 days, Watch only and pause.

    No training needed
  • Runs your custom playbooks (multi-step jobs), on a schedule too.Working workflow

    Available now: Runs your playbooks in order, by hand or every day or week. A step can be a review or work from another job, such as slow stock steps, product data fixes or freight costs, done through that job’s own limits. Each step is checked before the next; the run stops and asks in Needs you when a step fails or leaves work for a person, then continues where it stopped. Scheduled runs keep to the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

    Available now: Looks up exact item names, sizes, SKU codes, lots and serials across locations, including zero stock, issued serials, independent measured quantities, reservations and component-kit capacity. Recalled, expired or uncosted goods are never promised as available.

    No training needed
  • Explains why a stock number changed, with every move behind it.Working workflow

    Available now: Traces every posted receipt, issue, transfer and adjustment with exact before/change/after quantities, independent weights, lot or serial identity, stock cost and the originating native record. Current reservations are shown separately from physical stock.

    No training needed
  • Checks every day for negative stock, stuck transfers and odd adjustments.Working workflow

    Available now: Checks for negative stock, repeated stock reductions and overdue transfers. Growth, Pro and Custom get a daily in-app alert when the check finds issues. Starter can ask for one suggestion.

  • Plans today's cycle count: which shelves to count, by value and risk.Working workflow

    Available now: Automatically saves one daily plan per authorized warehouse within the owner’s shelf limit, without training.

    No training needed
  • Turns a count sheet or shelf photo into stock adjustments.Working workflow

    Available now: Reads count sheets and readable shelf tags, preserves the original and prepares exact stock differences for quantities, lots, serials and independent measures. Pro routines require a completed matching example. Custom uses a saved owner scope. Physical adjustments and their value still need individual owner approval.

    After you train it
  • Posts small count differences on its own, under your $ limit.Working workflow

    Available now: Posts small count differences on its own within the owner-set value limit: counts typed in the app, finished staff phone counts and exact count sheets, lots and weights included.

    No training needed
  • Sends staff a count list on their phone and checks it as they go.Working workflow

    Available now: Sends staff blind count lists in the app for quantities, lots, serials and independent weights. Progress follows completed observations.

  • Finds dead and slow stock and suggests: discount, return or move it.Working workflow

    Available now: Finds dead and slow stock from recorded sales and continuously stocked days, leaving out stock held for orders, targets, transfers and returns. Starter gets one suggestion. Each finding becomes a step: a transfer to a location where it sells, a supplier return request to the supplier who sold it, or a clearance plan whose prices you approve. Growth drafts each step. Pro drafts until you approve one of a kind and save a limit; Custom acts within your limits without teaching. Steps are audited and can be undone while untouched.

    After you train it
  • Flags likely shrink or theft patterns (same item, same shift, again).Working workflow

    Available now: Flags repeat negative stock corrections for the same product, warehouse and local shift across its bins. Growth, Pro and Custom receive automatic in-app alerts without training and can configure shift start times. Review the original stock movements to determine the cause.

    No training needed

    Available now: Blocks recalled or expired batches on every way out: picks and shipments, transfers to another location, the quantity offered on sales channels, kit components, rentals and consignment. Only a write-off or a return to the supplier takes them out. A person places a recall; releasing one always needs a person and a reason, and both are audited. Open transfers and reservations that still name a blocked batch show in Needs you. Blocks hold in every mode, including pause and shadow mode.

Trust & safety

  • Shadow mode: for 14 days it only watches, then shows what it would have done and saved.Working workflow

    Available now: For a new account's first 14 days StockChief only watches. Reorders, transfers, counts, count lists, credit and delivery holds, payment reminders and tracking emails record what they would have done, with amounts. A report shows the orders it would have placed, the stockouts it would have prevented (from your stock records) and the money it would have caught. When the 14 days end, Needs you asks you to switch on automatic work per area or for everything, or keep watching. Switched-on areas get your plan's highest mode; the rest keep watching, and spending still needs your limits.

    No training needed
  • Shows how sure it is on every action, and asks when it isn't sure enough.Working workflow

    Available now: Every purchase order, transfer, count posting and tracking email shows how sure StockChief is: high, medium or low, with reasons from the facts that action checks: prices and stock, missing facts, earlier orders, counts and delivered emails. When a required fact is missing or does not match it is low and always asks. You choose whether it may act on its own when fairly sure or only when very sure; below that it asks instead. The level shows on the review pages, in Needs you and in Ask.

    No training needed
  • Gives you a data health score on day one, with a fix list.Working workflow

    Available now: Gives a data health score from 0 to 100 on day one, worked out by the worker after each import, once a day and when you ask. Every active product is checked for a usable SKU, a unique barcode, a purchase cost, a weight, not being a duplicate, a supplier, a reorder point, stock not below zero and a count in the last year, with the result for each check. A fix list puts the most urgent first and links to where each fix is made, mostly the bulk fixes for product data. The score shows on its own in Needs you and on its page on every plan, also while StockChief only watches.

    No training needed
  • Pauses itself if spend or volume looks unusual (circuit-breaker).Working workflow

    Available now: Pauses all automatic work on its own when today’s automatic activity is far above a usual day: purchases, transfers, labels, emails to suppliers and customers, changes routines carry out (refunds and credits, stock, landed costs, orders), and price and cost changes, by count, kind and money, against the last 28 days. It tells the owner at once in Needs you and by alert email, during the pause. Only the owner resumes, after confirming the review, and the resume is audited. Nothing trips in the first 14 days or Watch only.

    No training needed
  • Vacation mode: sends approvals to a deputy while the owner is away.Working workflow

    Available now: While the owner is away, every approval that would wait for them goes to their deputy when the deputy may approve it: purchases, transfers, returns, stock changes and write-offs, refunds and credits, landed costs and supplier prices, similar ones in one tap, and a second signature unless the deputy gave the first. Their own permissions and limits apply. Owner-only approvals and private Ask decisions stay with the owner. The first 14 days, Watch only and pause delegate nothing. On return Needs you hands back what was decided.

    No training needed
  • Hides costs and margins from roles that shouldn't see them.Working workflow

Growth and above show who sees what by role.

    No training needed
  • Daily "what I did" digest, with one-tap undo.Working workflow

    Available now: Writes a daily “what I did” digest on its own on Growth, Pro and Custom. It lists each action with a one-tap undo or how to correct it, opens in Needs you and is emailed from your chosen mailbox.

    No training needed
  • Needs two people to approve anything over the $ you set.Working workflow

    Available now: Two different people, each allowed to approve it, must approve anything over the owner's amount: purchase orders, refunds and credits, stock adjustments and write-offs, and landed-cost postings from any page or routine. Anything in another currency, or whose amount is unknown, also needs two. Each approval is bound to the exact amount, so a change needs fresh approvals, and the same person twice counts once. The second approval goes to the next eligible person's Needs you; where only the owner may post, the owner posts last.

    No training needed
  • Suggests what to automate next each month, with the hours it would save.Working workflow

Training & playbooks

  • Follows rules you write in plain words ("always split POs over $10k"). Starter: up to 5.Working workflow

    Available now: Write a rule in plain words. StockChief reads it without AI as a watch alert, a reorder point or buffer, an always or never supplier rule, combining or splitting draft purchase orders, or who approves what over an amount. It shows exactly what the rule will do and saves it only when the owner confirms, through that kind's own service and the shared rule allowance. A rule that needs a higher plan names that plan. Words it cannot read exactly are refused with the reason and examples. Supplier rules steer reorders and stop to ask when no allowed supplier is left.

    No training needed
  • Learns from your approvals and stops asking about what you always OK.Working workflow

    Available now: Notices when you approve the same routine five times in a row without a change, for every job your plan trains, and offers to stop asking: draft routines, releases, waves, transfers, put-away, bin moves, QC holds, count sheets, reorder points, slow stock, catalogue fixes, retirements, supplier dates, claims, quotes and returns, van routes, check-ins, order pages and invoices. You confirm once and it saves that job’s own rule, within what you approved and your limits. Never for what always needs a person, under Ask me first or Watch only, or in the first 14 days.

    No training needed
  • Suggests a new rule when it sees you fix the same thing again and again.Working workflow

    Available now: Suggests a rule when you make the same fix three or more times in 30 days: stock corrected at one warehouse (a recurring blind count), the quantity raised on draft orders to one supplier (that supplier’s minimum order), the same stock moved between two locations (keep it stocked at the destination), or the same reorder suggestion declined (a lower reorder point). Each rule comes from those records, shows what it would have done, and counts toward your rules once accepted. Price changes are never suggested.

    No training needed
  • Tests a new rule on past data first and shows what it would have done.Working workflow

    Available now: Replays a new rule on your last 90 days of records before it is switched on and shows what it would have done: reorder points and alerts against stock levels, stock protection against outgoing stock, supplier terms against past orders, transfer and purchase limits against past transfers and orders, counts against past corrections, and taught routines against past approvals. The test changes nothing and is kept with the rule when you switch it on.

    No training needed
  • Learns each customer's and supplier's habits.Working workflow

    Available now: Learns each customer's habits from confirmed orders: how often, usual weekday and size, and whether they are due to order.

A product with no deliveries of its own and no owner lead time plans and dates new orders with the supplier's usual lead time instead of the promise. No limit or setting changes, and this waits in the first 14 days, Watch only and pause.

    No training needed

  • Runs your custom playbooks (multi-step jobs), on a schedule too.Working workflow

    Available now: Runs your playbooks in order, by hand or every day or week. A step can be a review or work from another job, such as slow stock steps, product data fixes or freight costs, done through that job’s own limits. Each step is checked before the next; the run stops and asks in Needs you when a step fails or leaves work for a person, then continues where it stopped. Scheduled runs keep to the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

Lots, expiry & recalls

  • Warns before stock expires and suggests where to sell it first.Working workflow

    Available now: Warns before batches expire, using the warning days you set for every product, a category or one product (30 days if you set none), in the app, in Needs you and by email from your connected mailbox. Each warning shows where to sell first: orders due before it expires, other locations with orders, the channels it is listed on, and a clearance plan for what will be left. Picks take the soonest expiry first. Emails wait during shadow mode, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

    No training needed
  • Picks oldest or soonest-to-expire first (FIFO / FEFO) when reserving.Working workflow

    Available now: Can reserve exact FIFO or FEFO identities without training within current owner authority, after shadow mode with the job enabled. Checked historical opening evidence needs individual confirmation. Exact goods remain protected through partial fulfillment; physical picking and dispatch require people.

    No training needed
  • Traces a recall in minutes: which customers got which lot.Working workflow

    Available now: Finds the customers, quantities and original sales or custody records for an exact lot. Covers warehouse and supplier-direct orders, kit components, rental and outgoing consignment, including goods later returned.

    No training needed
  • Blocks recalled or expired lots from being shipped.Working workflow

    Available now: Blocks recalled or expired batches on every way out: picks and shipments, transfers to another location, the quantity offered on sales channels, kit components, rentals and consignment. Only a write-off or a return to the supplier takes them out. A person places a recall; releasing one always needs a person and a reason, and both are audited. Open transfers and reservations that still name a blocked batch show in Needs you. Blocks hold in every mode, including pause and shadow mode.

    No training needed
  • Shows a serial number's full history.Working workflow

    Available now: Shows recorded receipts, both legs of transfers, issues, supplier-direct dispatches and returns for an exact serial, ordered by time and linked to the original product or order.

    No training needed
  • Links certificates (CoA, safety sheets) to lots and flags missing ones.Working workflow

    Available now: Can link clear original documents inside your approved supplier and lot evidence scope without training after Watch. Current authority is checked at dispatch. Unclear evidence needs your review.

    No training needed
  • Prepares audit and compliance reports.Working workflow

    Available now: Prepares a compliance report for any period from your records: where each batch came from and went, recall decisions and who received recalled batches, expiry write-offs, stock adjustments with who and why, stocktake sign-offs and quality checks. Each report is frozen and downloads as Excel or PDF. Growth drafts each report for you to finalize. Pro and Custom produce them weekly or monthly on their own. A stock removal with no recorded reason, shadow mode, pause or Ask me first leaves the report as a draft for you.

    No training needed

Trust & safety

  • Shadow mode: for 14 days it only watches, then shows what it would have done and saved.Working workflow

    Available now: For a new account's first 14 days StockChief only watches. Reorders, transfers, counts, count lists, credit and delivery holds, payment reminders and tracking emails record what they would have done, with amounts. A report shows the orders it would have placed, the stockouts it would have prevented (from your stock records) and the money it would have caught. When the 14 days end, Needs you asks you to switch on automatic work per area or for everything, or keep watching. Switched-on areas get your plan's highest mode; the rest keep watching, and spending still needs your limits.

    No training needed
  • Shows how sure it is on every action, and asks when it isn't sure enough.Working workflow

    Available now: Every purchase order, transfer, count posting and tracking email shows how sure StockChief is: high, medium or low, with reasons from the facts that action checks: prices and stock, missing facts, earlier orders, counts and delivered emails. When a required fact is missing or does not match it is low and always asks. You choose whether it may act on its own when fairly sure or only when very sure; below that it asks instead. The level shows on the review pages, in Needs you and in Ask.

    No training needed
  • Gives you a data health score on day one, with a fix list.Working workflow

    Available now: Gives a data health score from 0 to 100 on day one, worked out by the worker after each import, once a day and when you ask. Every active product is checked for a usable SKU, a unique barcode, a purchase cost, a weight, not being a duplicate, a supplier, a reorder point, stock not below zero and a count in the last year, with the result for each check. A fix list puts the most urgent first and links to where each fix is made, mostly the bulk fixes for product data. The score shows on its own in Needs you and on its page on every plan, also while StockChief only watches.

    No training needed
  • Pauses itself if spend or volume looks unusual (circuit-breaker).Working workflow

    Available now: Pauses all automatic work on its own when today’s automatic activity is far above a usual day: purchases, transfers, labels, emails to suppliers and customers, changes routines carry out (refunds and credits, stock, landed costs, orders), and price and cost changes, by count, kind and money, against the last 28 days. It tells the owner at once in Needs you and by alert email, during the pause. Only the owner resumes, after confirming the review, and the resume is audited. Nothing trips in the first 14 days or Watch only.

    No training needed
  • Vacation mode: sends approvals to a deputy while the owner is away.Working workflow

    Available now: While the owner is away, every approval that would wait for them goes to their deputy when the deputy may approve it: purchases, transfers, returns, stock changes and write-offs, refunds and credits, landed costs and supplier prices, similar ones in one tap, and a second signature unless the deputy gave the first. Their own permissions and limits apply. Owner-only approvals and private Ask decisions stay with the owner. The first 14 days, Watch only and pause delegate nothing. On return Needs you hands back what was decided.

    No training needed
  • Hides costs and margins from roles that shouldn't see them.Working workflow

    Available now: Costs need purchasing or accounting access; margins, profit and stock value need accounting access, on every plan. Pages, report pages and their PDF and spreadsheet downloads, count worksheets and their CSV, the monthly ROI email, alerts passed to someone else, Needs you and Ask all follow it; the owner keeps every figure. Growth and above show who sees what by role.

    No training needed
  • Daily "what I did" digest, with one-tap undo.Working workflow

    Available now: Writes a daily “what I did” digest on its own on Growth, Pro and Custom. It lists each action with a one-tap undo or how to correct it, opens in Needs you and is emailed from your chosen mailbox. The email waits during the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first, where you can send it from the page.

    No training needed
  • Needs two people to approve anything over the $ you set.Working workflow

    Available now: Two different people, each allowed to approve it, must approve anything over the owner's amount: purchase orders, refunds and credits, stock adjustments and write-offs, and landed-cost postings from any page or routine. Anything in another currency, or whose amount is unknown, also needs two. Each approval is bound to the exact amount, so a change needs fresh approvals, and the same person twice counts once. The second approval goes to the next eligible person's Needs you; where only the owner may post, the owner posts last.

    No training needed
  • Suggests what to automate next each month, with the hours it would save.Working workflow

    Available now: Finds repeat approved purchase regroupings each month and estimates future review time from owner timing samples. Teaching the matching rule clears the suggestion.

    No training needed

Training & playbooks

  • Follows rules you write in plain words ("always split POs over $10k"). Starter: up to 5.Working workflow

    Available now: Write a rule in plain words. StockChief reads it without AI as a watch alert, a reorder point or buffer, an always or never supplier rule, combining or splitting draft purchase orders, or who approves what over an amount. It shows exactly what the rule will do and saves it only when the owner confirms, through that kind's own service and the shared rule allowance. A rule that needs a higher plan names that plan. Words it cannot read exactly are refused with the reason and examples. Supplier rules steer reorders and stop to ask when no allowed supplier is left.

    No training needed
  • Learns from your approvals and stops asking about what you always OK.Working workflow

    Available now: Notices when you approve the same routine five times in a row without a change, for every job your plan trains, and offers to stop asking: draft routines, releases, waves, transfers, put-away, bin moves, QC holds, count sheets, reorder points, slow stock, catalogue fixes, retirements, supplier dates, claims, quotes and returns, van routes, check-ins, order pages and invoices. You confirm once and it saves that job’s own rule, within what you approved and your limits. Never for what always needs a person, under Ask me first or Watch only, or in the first 14 days.

    No training needed
  • Suggests a new rule when it sees you fix the same thing again and again.Working workflow

    Available now: Suggests a rule when you make the same fix three or more times in 30 days: stock corrected at one warehouse (a recurring blind count), the quantity raised on draft orders to one supplier (that supplier’s minimum order), the same stock moved between two locations (keep it stocked at the destination), or the same reorder suggestion declined (a lower reorder point). Each rule comes from those records, shows what it would have done, and counts toward your rules once accepted. Price changes are never suggested.

    No training needed
  • Tests a new rule on past data first and shows what it would have done.Working workflow

    Available now: Replays a new rule on your last 90 days of records before it is switched on and shows what it would have done: reorder points and alerts against stock levels, stock protection against outgoing stock, supplier terms against past orders, transfer and purchase limits against past transfers and orders, counts against past corrections, and taught routines against past approvals. The test changes nothing and is kept with the rule when you switch it on.

    No training needed
  • Learns each customer's and supplier's habits.Working workflow

    Available now: Learns each customer's habits from confirmed orders: how often, usual weekday and size, and whether they are due to order. Learns each supplier's from completed deliveries: usual lead time and its spread, on-time rate, and short or over deliveries. Shows them on the customer and supplier pages. A product with no deliveries of its own and no owner lead time plans and dates new orders with the supplier's usual lead time instead of the promise. No limit or setting changes, and this waits in the first 14 days, Watch only and pause.

    No training needed
  • Reads your SOP documents and follows them.Working workflow

    Available now: Follows a read procedure on its own within your agreed usage, except in the first 14 days, pause or Watch only, and prepares each exact rule for your confirmation.

    No training needed
  • Runs your custom playbooks (multi-step jobs), on a schedule too.Working workflow

    Available now: Runs your playbooks in order, by hand or every day or week. A step can be a review or work from another job, such as slow stock steps, product data fixes or freight costs, done through that job’s own limits. Each step is checked before the next; the run stops and asks in Needs you when a step fails or leaves work for a person, then continues where it stopped. Scheduled runs keep to the first 14 days, pause, Watch only and Ask me first.

    No training needed
  • Remembers how each manager likes their reports and approvals.Working workflow

    Available now: Remembers how each Custom manager likes their reports and approvals: report dates, rows and download format, the order and first filter in Needs you, grouped or one-by-one approvals, the channel approvals reach them on and the hour for new scheduled reports. It learns from that manager’s own repeated choices, never from anyone else’s. A choice on a page always wins, and every preference shows where it came from and can be reset.

How limits, usage and connections work

A product can have many variants. Each active combination of up to three options counts as one SKU. Option names and values are yours to choose. One product with 10 variants and 100,000 units counts as 1 product and 10 SKUs. There is no plan-based cap on units of stock; quantity precision and exact-value safeguards apply.

Products, SKUs, people, inventories, connections, usage and storage are shared across the account. Warehouses, bins and custom roles are counted per inventory. Pending invitations occupy a person slot. Archived records retain their history and stored data. Row allowances apply per import; file-size and format limits also apply. Use CSV for the largest imports. Storage measures uncompressed business data and original attachments in decimal GB, excluding shared indexes, backups and service telemetry.

AI Work Credits pay for AI work. Incoming email processing counts unique accepted messages; outgoing sending counts recipients; Connected Operations count committed external business changes. Ordinary browsing, manual work, polling, API pagination and provider retries do not consume Connected Operations. An AI question costs 20 credits and AI mapping for an imported file costs 100 credits. Agent reports and alerts use no credits. Its email or external action uses the separately listed allowance. API requests and delivered webhooks have their own resource allowance, with no automatic overage billing.

Shipping postage and merchant card fees are billed by your connected provider. Customer payment connections are included on paid plans where production-supported and require provider setup. Check each provider's supported operations and availability. Custom ERP connections require agreed mappings and qualification; an integration category does not promise every vendor or operation.

Upgrades unlock after confirmed payment and start a new billing month. Eligible downgrades start at the end of your paid term. Existing records and accepted credit grants are preserved. A qualifying subscription refund cancels renewal, provides 30 days of read-only export access, then deletes workspace data. Read the subscription terms.
