DTC ops + cash-flow platform
The Cogsy alternative for Shopify operators
Cogsy is a premium operations platform that ties inventory planning to cash flow and purchase orders for funded DTC brands. Restock focuses on the core forecasting job — sell-out dates, reorder alerts, and an AI restock plan — free to start and without committing to a full ops suite.
What Cogsy is
Cogsy is an inventory and operations platform for scaling DTC brands. Alongside demand forecasting and purchase orders, it leans into cash-flow planning and tools to capture revenue during stockouts (backorders and pre-orders). It's positioned as a premium, all-in-one ops system.
