Start with reorder points on your best sellers. The planning view does the arithmetic and the morning digest tells you what to buy.
Either way the trial is 14 days on Enterprise, no card.
Automatic run-out dates
From the last 28 days of sales
Set a reorder point and safety stock per item and location. Orbit works out the rest from the last 28 days of sales.
Sales per day, days of stock left and the date each line runs out. Days the item was out of stock are left out of the maths, so a sell-out does not drag the daily rate down the way a plain 28-day average would.
For an item kept in one location, Orbit multiplies its preferred supplier’s lead time by daily sales and adds your safety stock. Press Adopt to use it, or keep your own number.
Once the shop has 30 orders in the 28 days, every line that sold is graded by revenue: A for the lines that bring in the first 80%, B the next 15%, C the rest. The few that matter get checked first.
Tick the rows that need buying and press Create purchase order. Orbit fills in enough to cover the supplier’s lead time plus two weeks of sales, less what you hold and what is already on its way.
Approvals on purchase orders
Staff submit drafts, you approve and order
Keep each supplier’s terms once, raise the order in a minute, and email the PDF from the same screen.
Company, account number, currency, contact and default lead time on each supplier, plus the supplier’s own SKU, cost price and lead time per product, and a preferred flag.
A draft can wait for approval. Approve & mark ordered flips it to Ordered, and Email to supplier sends the PDF with your logo, payment terms and standing notes. What you print is the same file the supplier got.
Scan a barcode or SKU, or type the counts. Reject damaged units with a note, receive over several deliveries, and a double click never adds stock twice.
Add shipping and adjustments and see a landed cost per unit. Orders in a supplier’s currency show in pounds as well.
Six things that happen in the background once the suite is switched on.
Opt in and the items below safety stock, at or below their reorder point, and low with no reorder point set land in your inbox shortly after 9am in your store’s timezone, 50 rows a section with a count of the rest.
Units on open purchase orders count as incoming. Give an order an expected date and, once it is 30 days past it, its units stop counting, so a lost delivery cannot prop up a number.
Every receipt is written to the stock movement ledger once. A retry after a dropped connection finds the first one and stops.
Each order in a batch ships on its own. The rest carry on, the failures show as Failed, and you retry them without redoing the ones that worked.
Orders sold without stock wait in Awaiting stock. When goods-in covers one it moves to Ready to fulfil, with the date it became ready.
Each receipt in your store’s currency updates the weighted average cost of that item, which feeds the Inventory Value and Cost of Goods reports.
For whoever runs the shelves and whoever reads the reports. Every chip is a field, a status or a cap in the product today.
Picking
Give every item a bin like A-12, inline, in bulk on selected rows, or by round-tripping the Bin name column through CSV. Print pick list produces one document of the units still to pick, sorted A-2 before A-10, with items that have no bin at the end. Bins label shelves and never change a count.
Packing
Build a batch of up to 250 orders, scan a barcode or SKU for every unit to verify the order, or mark it packed by hand. Buy the labels per order and print the packing slips from the same batch.
Cycle counts
Scan or type the counted quantity, review each variance, then apply them in one go. Stock only changes when you apply, and every adjustment goes through the movement ledger.
Planning fields
You set the reorder point and safety stock for each item and location, and the lead time on each supplier. Sales speed, days of stock, run-out and grade are worked out from the store’s sales.
Purchase orders
Awaiting approval is a draft with an approval request on it; Paid is a bookkeeping flag with a due date.
Planning, purchasing, picking and the workbench are all part of Enterprise. Sales velocity is worked out across the whole store. Suppliers here are the ones you buy from directly; suppliers on Orbit’s supplier network trade with you through the Suppliers area instead.
Shopify closed Stocky at the end of August 2026. If you exported your suppliers and purchase orders before then, the import wizard brings them in. The import never touches your stock.
File 1
Upload the suppliers export first. Each file can be up to 20 MB and 2,000 rows; split a bigger export and import it in batches.
File 2
Open purchase orders come in as drafts you keep working. Completed ones come in as closed history for reference, marked Imported from Stocky, and never change a stock number.
Then
Match Stocky’s columns to Orbit’s, check the sample rows, and choose the location that receiving will apply stock to. The wizard lists any skipped rows with the reason.

Your suppliers
Separate from the supplier network
Purchasing is for the suppliers you buy from directly. A supplier on Orbit’s supplier programme trades with you through the Suppliers area, with its own orders.
Store-wide
How sales speed is worked out
Sales speed, days of stock and run-out dates come from the last 28 days of sales across the whole store, and every location’s row shows them.
Price, what happens if you downgrade, importing from Stocky, and what does and does not touch your stock.
