Initial setup
After installation, you’ll spend a few minutes telling Logistified how your shop works — your typical lead time, your minimum order, how much history to import. This page tells you what to expect.

The Onboarding wizard
Section titled “The Onboarding wizard”The first thing you see is the Onboarding wizardOnboardingThe six-step setup wizard that runs once on install. Collects default lead time, MOQ, pack size, history years, and a notification email; then kicks off the initial Shopify data sync. Read more → — six guided steps. Most new shops walk through it once and are done. See Onboarding wizard.
The initial data load
Section titled “The initial data load”After the wizard, Logistified pulls your Shopify data:
- Products and variants.
- Orders (historical, configurable by years).
- Locations.
- Inventory levels.
Then it builds:
- Sales history.
- Forecast models per variant.
- The Default supplierDefault supplierA built-in supplier entry that represents "no supplier assigned." Logistified attaches it to every variant by default; you replace it when you set a real primary supplier. Read more → (attached to every variant).
Progress is shown on the Onboarding wizard’s last step. You can leave and come back; the data syncs in the background.
How long it takes
Section titled “How long it takes”Initial sync time depends almost entirely on how many orders you have. Logistified pulls products, locations, and inventory quickly; the bottleneck is order history.
| Order history | Typical sync time |
|---|---|
| ≤ 10,000 orders | ~30 minutes. |
| ~100,000 orders | 1–2 hours. |
| 500,000+ orders | 4–5 hours. |
You can safely close the tab once the load is running. Logistified emails you when setup is complete in all cases — the address comes from step 4 of the wizard. The progress page also updates live every 10 seconds while it’s open.
Minimum config before your first forecast
Section titled “Minimum config before your first forecast”Before reorder suggestions become meaningful, do these:
- Pick a subscription plan (Billing). The default is Essential.
- Configure your locations (Settings → Locations).
- Set up at least one real supplier (Suppliers → New).
- Map your most important variants to that supplier.
