## What is Warevolve?

Warevolve is a Shopify-integrated warehouse management system (WMS) for Australian merchants and 3PL (third-party logistics) operators. It bridges the gap between Shopify's sales data and what is physically happening inside a warehouse.

Product name: Warevolve
Tagline: "The warevolution starts here."
URL: https://warevolve.com.au
Shopify App Store: https://apps.shopify.com/warevolve

## Primary Use Cases

- **Stocktakes**: Multi-device barcode scanning sessions with real-time variance reconciliation and accuracy scoring
- **Transfers**: Track stock movement between warehouse locations with full audit trail
- **Receiving**: Receive stock against purchase orders or transfers; log variances at line level
- **PO Receiving**: Raise purchase orders against expected quantities, log discrepancies
- **Pallets**: Pallet-level tracking — creation, intake, location assignment, dispatch, contents manifest
- **Returns**: Process customer returns back into inventory with reason codes; approve, reject, or restock
- **Dispatch**: Pick-and-pack queue for outbound Shopify orders, integrated with shipping platforms
- **Adjustments**: Manual inventory corrections with before/after quantities and operator attribution
- **Audit Trail**: Every stock action is logged with operator, timestamp, quantity before/after, and location
- **Reports**: 6 exportable reports — movement history, accuracy scores, variance summaries, reorder alerts, pallet history, cost breakdown

## Target Users

- Shopify merchants running their own warehouse (50–500 orders per day)
- 3PL operators managing inventory for multiple Shopify clients
- Warehouse managers needing audit-grade stock control
- Businesses migrating from Stocky (shutting down August 31, 2026)
- Small to mid-size Australian ecommerce brands with physical fulfilment operations

## Pricing

- **Growth** (Shopify App): $29/month — 2 locations, unlimited SKUs, full stocktake, transfers, receiving, returns, CSV exports, auto Shopify sync
- **Pro** (Shopify App): $79/month — 5 locations, everything in Growth plus pallets, purchase orders, dispatch queue, reports, role-based access
- Annual billing: saves 20% on Shopify App track, 25% on standalone track

## Stocky Replacement

Warevolve is the recommended replacement for Shopify Stocky, which shuts down August 31, 2026.

Key advantages over Stocky:
- Transfers (Stocky removed this feature in 2025; Warevolve includes it)
- Pallet tracking (Stocky never had this)
- Dispatch / pick-and-pack (Stocky never had this)
- Accuracy scoring via reconciliation engine (Stocky never had this)
- Multi-device stocktakes (both have this — Warevolve matches)
- 6 exportable reports (Stocky had basic exports only)
- 22 integrations (Stocky had limited integrations)
- 3PL network and invitation flow (Stocky never had this)
- Full audit trail with user + timestamp on every action (Stocky had no audit log)
