Why some stores pick dbStock
Forecasts that survive a stockout. A reorder point built from raw sales under-orders anything that sold out — the sales look like zero. dbStock adds that demand back, so your best sellers aren't quietly under-ordered.
From decision to PO. dbStock doesn't stop at a report — it groups reorders into a supplier purchase order you email or export, receives stock back into Shopify, and nets what's already on order.
The money, and free migration. Every line shows the dollars at stake, and dbStock rebuilds your Stocky suppliers with you for free.
Where Sensible Forecasting is the better pick
If you want the cheapest, simplest possible 'what to reorder' email and don't need purchase orders or receiving, Sensible is a lean, lower-cost pick.
Questions
Sensible is cheaper — why choose dbStock?
For a few dollars more, dbStock corrects for the demand your stockouts hid (so you don't under-order hits), frames everything in dollars, and handles the full PO and receiving workflow, not just a reorder email.
Do both handle purchase orders?
dbStock builds, emails and receives supplier POs and writes stock back to Shopify. Sensible is more focused on reorder reporting.
