Built for how stores actually work
No external databases, no complex setup, no training manuals. Inventra is a stock-taking layer that runs entirely inside Shopify — because your inventory system should be as simple as your store.
The problems we solve
Stock-taking shouldn't be this hard. Here's what changes with Inventra.
Count where stock actually lives
Most stores keep inventory in more than one place. Inventra lets you count showroom, warehouse, and garage independently — then aggregates everything back to the product level automatically.
- Each location has its own counter and counted flag
- Products auto-tagged by location on finalization
- Garage alerts flag non-standard storage automatically
- Location data preserved across sessions for audit
Zero external databases
Inventra stores everything inside Shopify — metafields for workflow state, inventory objects for quantities, product tags for organization. There's nothing to sync, nothing to back up, nothing that can drift out of alignment.
- Metafields hold session state (status, counts, timestamps)
- Shopify inventory remains the single source of truth
- Product tags drive alerting and session grouping
- No third-party accounts, APIs, or databases to manage
Simple enough for any team member
Inventra's guided workflow means your staff can run a full stock-take without technical training. Tap a location, enter a count, move on. The app handles status tracking, validation, and finalization.
- Large touch-friendly counter modal for warehouse use
- Status updates automatically as counts are entered
- Completion gate prevents accidental partial finalization
- Built with Shopify Polaris — familiar Admin UI patterns
Structured and repeatable every time
Every stock-take follows the same lifecycle: snapshot your baseline, count by location, finalize when done, release to start fresh. No ad-hoc counting, no guesswork about what's been counted.
- Snapshot captures live inventory as your starting reference
- Per-variant status: pending → in-progress → done
- Finalize locks in numbers and tags products by location
- Release resets for the next session while preserving history
Our design philosophy
Clarity over cleverness
Every screen, every action, every status label is designed to be immediately understandable — even by someone who's never used the app before.
Shopify is the database
We made a deliberate choice: no external state. Everything flows through metafields, inventory, and tags. One system, zero drift.
Idempotent by default
Every action is safe to run twice. Snapshot again? Same result. Finalize again? No double-writes. Reliability your staff can count on.
