How EVE approaches it
- EVE does not manage purchase orders or backorders; it focuses on the forecasting question that precedes them.
- EVE reads Shopify sales history directly, with variant-level size and colour velocity as the default view.
- EVE surfaces dead-stock capital alongside stockout risk, so buying decisions account for both.
Which one fits
Choose Fabrikatör
