If you sell through Shopify POS as well as online, you're planning stock across several places at once: each retail location, plus the warehouse that supplies them.
The tough part isn't knowing you're low, it's deciding whether to move stock you already own between locations, or order more from a supplier.
This article how Prediko works natively Shopify POS to plan across all your POS locations and includes Stocktakes, PO scanning and label printing.
Move stock first, order second
When a retail location runs low, there are two ways to fix it, and the better way is almost always to use stock you already own:
Transfer - Move units from your warehouse (or another location) to the location that needs them. No supplier, no new spend, no lead time.
Purchase order - Buy more from your supplier. The right move only when every location is short and there's nothing left to move.
Prediko will first look across your retail locations, draft a transfer when stock exists somewhere in your network, and only recommends a purchase order when the whole network is short.
That's what keeps a store stocked without over-ordering and tying up cash.
What's native to Shopify POS
Because Prediko works directly with Shopify POS, these happen where your team already works:
Transfers between the warehouse and your retail locations.
Stocktakes to keep on-hand counts accurate.
PO scanning to receive stock against a purchase order.
Label printing for received items.
Setting up Prediko's inventory management for Shopify POS
To get accurate cross-location planning, make sure the following are in place:
Connect all your locations. Every Shopify POS location and your warehouse should be connected so Prediko can see the full picture. See connecting more than one store.
Check your inventory is tracked in Shopify. Products need inventory tracking switched on in Shopify for Prediko to plan them.
Review your planning settings per location — lead time, safety stock, and reorder settings all shape what Pia recommends.
Once connected, Pia works on your real data from day one, no manual import required.
Ask Pia about your own stock
You can also connect Prediko to an AI assistant like ChatGPT or Claude and ask about your inventory in plain English - "Which locations are about to run out?" or "draft a transfer for my top sellers."
