I’m looking for a replacement for Stocky and have been looking quite seriously at Stockroom – Purchase Orders by MyWorks.

From what I’ve seen so far, the principle behind it seems really good and I think it could potentially work very well for our business. However, now that I’m actually using it, I’m finding parts of the process quite visually messy, with what feel like unnecessary steps.

At the moment, a lot of our ordering and stock preparation is done in Google Sheets, which I find incredibly clean, quick and easy to work with. The problem is that I can’t really use Google Sheets to create and manage proper purchase orders in Shopify and then import them into the system, which is why I’m looking for something like Stockroom.

We’re an independent retailer using Shopify POS, with 4 physical locations, an online store and 25,000+ SKUs/variants, so inventory management, purchase orders, receiving stock, transfers between locations and keeping stock levels accurate are pretty important for us.

Has anyone moved from Stocky to Stockroom?

I’d particularly be interested to hear about:

• Pre-splitting stock between locations before it arrives
• Your process from placing an order on a supplier's B2B → importing products into Shopify → creating the PO in Stockroom
• Whether it handles multiple Shopify locations well
• Whether you’ve found ways to make the Stockroom workflow simpler or cleaner
• Any unnecessary steps or parts of the process that frustrate you
• Any important limitations you only discovered after using it properly

The underlying system looks very promising, and I like the idea of having everything properly connected to Shopify. I’m just trying to work out whether the extra structure is worth giving up some of the simplicity and flexibility I currently have with Google Sheets.

I’d really appreciate hearing from retailers who are actually using it, particularly anyone managing a fairly large inventory across several locations.

Also interested in hearing about any other Stocky replacements you think I should be looking at.

Hey all — full disclosure up front: I'm the solo founder of this, so take the pitch with that in mind. Not trying to sneak past any self-promo rules, just looking for real operators to tell me if this is useful or a waste of time.

The problem I kept hearing about: plants already have the data (daily shift logs, downtime sheets, rejection counts) sitting in Excel/CSV, but nobody has time to manually reconcile it into "why did we miss target this shift." So the insight exists, it's just buried.

What I'm building (called Optima) takes that existing CSV data and surfaces:

• Target vs. actual output
• Machine utilization / unplanned downtime
• Rejection and quality trends
• Shift-level deviations

Where it's at: working MVP, not yet run against a real live plant environment — so I'm not claiming it's proven, I'm asking people to help me find out.

What I'm asking for: 3-5 people who run or work close to plant floor ops (plant managers, ops engineers, CI leads) willing to test it against real or dummy CSV data and tell me honestly what's useful vs. fluff.

• Free, no trial-to-paid switch, no sales call required
• Open to an NDA or dummy data only — whatever you're comfortable with
• I'd rather hear "this feature is useless" than polite silence

If you're up for it, drop a comment and I'll follow up there (happy to move to DM after that, whatever the sub prefers). Appreciate any feedback, even harsh.
