Built for the restock decision
Restock isn't a report builder — every SKU lands in one of four states with a sell-out date, so the action is obvious.
Shopify reporting + analytics
The Assisty alternative for Shopify operators
Assisty is a broad Shopify reporting and analytics app that also offers inventory forecasting and reorder suggestions. Restock is purpose-built for the restock decision — plain-language sell-out dates, reorder alerts, and a one-click AI restock plan — rather than a general report builder.
What Assisty is
Assisty is a flexible Shopify reporting and analytics platform spanning sales, inventory, and custom reports, with demand forecasting and reorder recommendations included. Its strength is breadth — a configurable reporting tool that also helps with replenishment.

Why switch
Why operators choose Restock
Plain-language certainty framing
Out of stock, reorder now, reorder soon, healthy. No pivot tables required to know what to buy.
One-click AI restock plan
A compact summary of what to reorder, what's overstocked, and the next actions — generated on demand.
Bundle-aware by default
Shopify kits and multipacks expand into component demand automatically, so bundles never hide stock risk.

Does Restock forecast demand like Assisty?
Yes. Restock uses recency-weighted sales velocity to estimate sell-out dates and reorder points, and adds a one-click AI restock plan on top.
Can I run both?
Yes. Restock is read-only and never writes to Shopify, so it's safe to use alongside Assisty while you compare.
