The vocabulary Logistified uses — both standard inventory terms (DOH, MOQ, safety stock) and the names of features specific to this app. Terms in the body of any page can be hovered to see the short definition; click through to land here.
Also known as: ABC, ABC classification
A method for prioritising variants by importance. “A” items drive most of the revenue and warrant the closest forecasting attention; “C” items are long-tail. Logistified runs ABC analysis automatically and surfaces it on the Overview KPIs tab and on the Forecast page.
Also known as: ABC category
The A / B / C grouping from ABC analysis — A is your highest-revenue tier, C is the long tail. Logistified computes it from sales over the configured lookback period.
Also known as: Auto, Automatic model optimization
Logistified runs every forecast model against your sales history, scores each one on how well it would have predicted the recent past, and picks the winner per variant. Re-checks daily. Your manual overrides stick.
A view Logistified created for you — one per active supplier, plus the default for your shop. Refreshes when underlying data changes.
Also known as: Available
Units you can still commit to new orders — on-hand minus already-committed.
Also known as: Average forecast
The simplest forecast model. Adds up all your sales in the chosen history window and divides by the number of days. Good for variants whose demand is flat and predictable. Beginner-friendly because the math has no hidden parameters.
A customer order placed when the product was already out of stock. Shopify keeps the order open; Logistified counts the missed units toward your next reorder so you eventually fulfil it.
A credential where holding the URL or QR code is enough to authenticate. Cloud Platform session links work this way; the TTL is your time-bound security control.
Uploading data via CSV or XLSX through Logistified’s unified import flow. Used for suppliers, supplier–variant links, variant overrides, and other bulk data.
Also known as: Cloud Platform Beta
A separate, browser-based interface for warehouse devices — tablets, phones, handheld scanners. Logs in via a session link generated from inside Logistified. Enhanced-plan feature.
A rule that auto-creates a supplier from a Shopify collection. Useful when a whole collection comes from one supplier.
Also known as: Committed
Units reserved for customer orders that haven’t shipped yet.
The condition of the returned units after inspection by the supplier — recorded per line on an RMA.
The number of units the supplier said they’ll ship. Could be less than ordered if the supplier can’t fulfil the whole request.
A PO detail tool that builds a proposed additive plan from configured constraint rules. In Fill gaps mode, it can increase existing lines or add eligible variants; you confirm before anything is applied. Elevate-plan feature.
Also known as: Semantic role
A semantic label such as Product MOQ, Unit CBM, Unit weight, or Purchase family that tells Constraint Studio what a product, variant, or Data Model field means.
A purchase-order rule configured in Constraint Studio that influences PO hints, optimizer targets, or objective scoring.
The guided rule editor in Settings -> Purchase Orders -> Constraints. It turns business presets into technical constraint graphs for PO hints and optimizer plans.
Also known as: Credit note
The document confirming a supplier credit. Logistified generates a credit memo number for each credit you issue.
A line on a purchase order for a product that doesn’t yet exist as a Shopify variant. You convert it into a real Shopify variant later, usually when you receive.
Units you’ve recorded as unsellable due to damage. A separate quantity bucket alongside on-hand.
A filter that hides certain products from analytics — usually archived or draft products, or items in specific tags / vendors / collections. Advisory: every report that uses it applies the filter itself.
A settings studio where you define custom tables, fields, records, values, and semantic mappings that extend Logistified’s data model.
Also known as: DOS
How many days your current on-hand inventory will last at your current sales rate, ignoring anything incoming. A pure runway number.
Same as Days of stock, but adds every open purchase order and transfer order into the inventory bucket first. Tells you “how long until I run out, even with everything that’s already on the way.”
Also known as: DOH, DSI, Days Sales of Inventory, Average Days to Sell Inventory
How many days of demand your current stock covers, at the current sales rate. Lower DOH means stock is moving quickly; higher DOH means you may be over-stocked. Computed as Average Inventory / COGS × 365.
Also known as: Days until reorder point
How many days until your on-hand inventory hits the reorder point. Less than zero means you’re already overdue.
Also known as: days-from-reorder-notification, days-from-reorder-trigger, days-from-reorder
A trigger inside the Custom Stock Notification rule that fires when the forecast-projected days until reorder for a variant drops to or below a configured value. Gated by a 48-hour per-variant cooldown so day-to-day forecast jitter doesn’t re-send. Depends on the forecast having run for that variant. Enhanced-plan feature.
A 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.
The view shown when you open the Forecast page without picking another one. Configurable in Settings → Dashboard.
The location stock arrives at on a transfer order. Its incoming increases when the TO is sent; its on-hand increases as the TO is received.
What happens to the returned units — restock, scrap, repair. Recorded per line on an RMA after inspection.
Also known as: Double exponential smoothing
Exponential smoothing plus a trend component — handles both “what’s the level?” and “is it going up or down?”. Picks up gentle trends without overreacting to noise.
Also known as: Double seasonal
Two overlapping seasonal cycles at once. The classic example is weekly (weekends are different) layered on yearly (December is different). Enhanced-plan feature.
Also known as: Inventory drift
A disagreement between Logistified’s view of stock and Shopify’s view. Usually caused by a missed sync or an out-of-app change.
Clicking a chart or counter on the Overview page to reach a Forecast view that’s already filtered to the variants behind it. The two places this works are the ABC Analysis chart and the Inventory Health Status counters on the KPIs tab.
Also known as: EOQ
The order size that minimises the combined cost of holding inventory and placing orders. Sometimes Logistified suggests it instead of the raw reorder quantity — when it does, you see a green “EOQ” pill in the cell.
The top subscription tier. Adds Return Orders (RMAs), Constraint Studio, and the PO Constraint Optimizer.
The current state of an email Logistified sent — Queued, Sent, Delivered, Bounced, or Failed. Visible on the Emails card of the related order.
The subject and body Logistified uses when sending outgoing email — one per order type and status. Supports placeholders like supplier name and PO number. Configured per feature in Settings.
The middle subscription tier. Adds Notifications, Reports, Cloud Platform, and the Holt / Seasonal / Double-seasonal forecast models.
A Forecast view created on the fly — for example, when you click the ABC Analysis chart or a counter in the Inventory Health Status card on the KPIs tab. Behaves like a saved view for the rest of your session, but isn’t stored. Save it from the Forecast toolbar if you’ll come back to it.
The base subscription tier. Includes Forecast, Inventory, Suppliers, Purchase Orders, Transfer Orders.
Also known as: Exponential smoothing, Single exponential smoothing
A forecast that gives every past day a weight, but the weights shrink the further back you go. Recent days matter most; ancient days barely register. Good when you want recency without throwing data away.
A saved column-set for CSV / XLSX / PDF exports. Pick the columns you want and the order; reuse the template at export time. Configured in Settings → Purchase Orders → Export tab.
The audio cue a Cloud Platform device plays when a scan doesn’t match. Configurable per shop in Settings → Cloud Platform.
Also known as: quick-action, quick action, quick approve & ship, quick close
Shortcut transitions on an RMA that skip intermediate statuses. Shown in the UI as Quick Approve & Ship (Pending Approval → In Transit) and Quick Close (In Transit → Closed, or Received by Supplier → Closed). Saves clicks; does not mint credits automatically.
A safety-stock multiplier you apply when supply-chain disruptions are likely. Disabled by default; enable when you want extra cushion regardless of historical volatility.
How far into the future the forecast looks. Logistified picks it from your lead time plus a safety buffer.
A supplier credit covering the whole RMA rather than individual lines. Used when the supplier issues one lump-sum refund.
Also known as: Amplifier, Forecast boost
A manual nudge to a forecast — “expect 30% more sales between Black Friday and Christmas.” Stacks on top of whatever the model predicts. Use it for campaigns, launches, and known events the model hasn’t seen yet.
Also known as: History window, Lookback period
The window of past sales the forecast looks at. Either Auto (Logistified picks the optimal window per variant) or Manual (you pick a fixed range — last 30 days, last 90, last year, max, or a custom range).
The cost of keeping a unit in stock for a year — storage, capital tied up, insurance, obsolescence risk. Used in economic order quantity calculations.
Also known as: Holt, Holts method
Holt’s method — level plus trend, with separate smoothing for each. Better than double exponential smoothing when level and trend change at different speeds. Enhanced-plan feature.
A saved column-mapping preset for CSV / XLSX uploads. Reusable across imports of the same file shape. Configured in Settings → Import Templates.
The Forecast page cell that visualises current inventory as a colored fill bar with markers at min, reorder point, target, and max. Hover for the breakdown.
Also known as: Incoming inventory
Units expected to arrive from open purchase orders and in-transit transfer orders. Shopify maintains its own incoming counter; Logistified updates it from PO/TO workflow, and Incoming Reconciliation may require a manual apply if the two drift.
A check that compares what Logistified thinks is on the way against what Shopify shows as incoming. Highlights variants where the two disagree so you can fix the drift.
The first action on Cloud Platform — scan labels on incoming products and compare them against an expected list. Visual + audio feedback when a scan matches or doesn’t.
A printable PDF with one rectangle per line item — barcode, SKU, variant title, quantity. Used to label received boxes. Format configured in Settings → Label Printing.
Also known as: Lead times, Supplier lead time
The number of days between placing a PO and the stock arriving in your warehouse. Logistified can either use a value you set per supplier-variant pair, or learn the actual lead time from the receive dates of past POs.
One row on a purchase, transfer, or return order. Represents one variant with its quantities, unit cost, and any per-line metadata.
The per-line reason for a return — for example, “Damaged in transit” or “Wrong colour.”
Also known as: Linear regression
Fits a straight line through your sales history and extends it forward. Use it when demand is clearly trending up or down over time. Sensitive to outliers — a single big sale day can tilt the line noticeably.
A Shopify location — a warehouse, a retail store, a fulfilment hub. Logistified mirrors every active Shopify location and uses them throughout the app.
An app-side address used on PDFs and labels in place of the Shopify location address. Render-time only — the upstream Shopify location is never modified.
A sale missed because the product was out of stock and your inventory policy doesn’t allow back orders. Counts toward stock-out reporting but not toward future reorders.
A flag on a purchase order indicating you consider it paid. Operator-set, not auto-derived from payment records — it’s a reporting marker, not a financial source of truth.
A per-variant maximum stock level you set as an override. Displayed on the Forecast page’s In Stock cell and used by min/max replenishment workflows.
A per-variant minimum stock level you set as an override. Displayed on the Forecast page’s In Stock cell and used by min/max replenishment workflows. Does not change the forecast model’s reorder math.
Also known as: MOQ, MOQs
The smallest quantity a supplier is willing to ship in a single PO line. Logistified rounds reorder suggestions up to the MOQ (or the next multiple of the pack size) so suggestions are immediately actionable.
Also known as: Mixed
A blend of multiple forecast models per variant. Operationally heavy — usually picked by hand for unusual demand shapes. Rarely auto-selected.
Also known as: Moving average, Rolling average
A forecast that uses only the most recent N days of sales instead of the whole history. Smooths out random ups and downs while still responding to slow drifts. Pick this when demand changes gradually but you don’t see a clear up- or down-trend.
A purchase order arriving through more than one receipt. Logistified records received quantities against the PO over time; it does not create separate shipment or tracking records for each delivery.
Also known as: On hand
Physically present units at a location, available to sell. Mirrors Shopify’s on-hand value.
The 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.
The number of units you asked the supplier for on a purchase order line. Set when you create the PO; locked once you send it.
Also known as: Supplier order cost
The fixed cost of placing one order with a supplier — paperwork, shipping setup, receiving overhead. Used in economic order quantity calculations.
The location stock leaves on a transfer order. Its on-hand decreases when the TO is sent.
The saved view a purchase order was created from. Useful for audit — “which planning session produced this order?”
Also known as: OOS report
A scheduled email listing variants currently out of stock. Shares the email template with stock-out notifications. Enhanced-plan feature.
The packaging increment your supplier ships in — for example, 12 to a case. Logistified rounds order quantities up to the nearest multiple of pack size.
A receipt where only some line items (or some quantities) were received. Moves the PO to Partially Received status; the rest stays as pending until you receive again.
What’s still on its way — confirmed minus already received minus cancelled and rejected. For receiving POs, Logistified also keeps received units that have not yet synced to Shopify on-hand stock in the incoming ledger so they can be retried.
Also known as: Persistence, Naive forecast
“Tomorrow will look like today.” Uses the most recent day as the next day’s forecast. A baseline more than a strategy. Logistified uses it for variants with too little history for anything more complex.
A subscription-tier restriction on a feature. Pages marked with a plan badge require an active subscription at that tier or above.
The number of units you intend to move on a transfer order. Set when the TO is created; the ship and receive quantities track separately.
The total units the forecast model expects you’ll sell during the next forecast horizon. The raw output of the model before any reorder math.
The supplier whose lead time, MOQ, pack size, and cost feed the reorder math for a variant. One per variant. You can change it any time.
Also known as: Attribute definition, Product attribute, Variant attribute
A Logistified-owned custom field on a product or variant. It can be internal only or linked to an existing Shopify product/variant metafield.
Also known as: PO
A supplier order that records what you’re buying — variants, quantities, prices, due dates — and the lifecycle from draft through sending, receiving, and closing.
A scheduled email summarising open purchase orders, with separate sections for overdue orders and orders arriving soon. Status filter and sort options are configurable. Runs daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Enhanced-plan feature.
Units held back for inspection or testing. A separate quantity bucket alongside on-hand.
The number of units you actually got. Recorded as the stock arrives. Drives Shopify’s on-hand update on each receipt.
A person who gets a notification or a report by email. Can be filtered to only receive items matching a specific saved view.
A saved Forecast view attached to a notification or report recipient. The recipient only receives variants matching their view — one report, many recipients, each gets their slice.
The day Logistified expects your on-hand inventory to hit the reorder point. Acting earlier is fine; acting later risks a stockout.
The combined “how many to order” and “when to order it” view for a single variant. Made up of two figures: the reorder quantity (units) and the reorder date (calendar).
Also known as: ROP
The inventory level at which you should reorder. Calculated as the demand you expect during your lead time plus a safety stock cushion. When on-hand drops to this level, it’s time to send a PO.
Also known as: Actual reorder quantity
The number of units to order. Starts as a raw target (cover demand until the next reorder), then adjusts for MOQ, pack size, incoming stock, back orders, and EOQ.
Also known as: Reserved
A separate Shopify reserve bucket — like committed, but for specific allocations.
Also known as: RMA, Return material authorization
A document that records goods you’re sending back to a supplier — what, why, and what credit you expect. Elevate-plan feature.
The supplier-level reason for a return — for example, “Defective batch” or “Wrong delivery.” Set on the RMA header.
A history window that slides forward each day. “Last 90 days” always means the most recent 90 days, recalculated daily. Counterpart to a fixed date range.
Also known as: Buffer stock
Extra inventory held above forecasted demand to absorb variability — demand spikes, longer-than-expected lead times, supplier hiccups. Higher safety stock reduces stock-outs but raises holding costs; Logistified surfaces both sides of that trade-off.
A specific buffer of units flagged as not-for-sale. Different from the safety-stock concept used in forecasting (which is a number Logistified computes, not a column you allocate).
Also known as: Seasonal
A forecast that captures repeating patterns — Christmas, summer, end-of-month. Logistified picks up the cycle automatically from your history. Enhanced-plan feature.
Also known as: sender prefix, email prefix
The address Logistified sends email from is always <prefix>@logistified.app. You pick the prefix in Settings → Email sending; the logistified.app domain is fixed and there is no custom-domain option.
A placeholder shown when a real number doesn’t make sense — “no recent sales data” instead of a meaningless reorder date, “plenty of stock” instead of “999,999 days.”
How often you want stock to be available when a customer wants it. 95% means “stock out at most 5% of the time.” Higher service levels need more safety stock.
Optional username + password protecting a Cloud Platform session. Stored as a hash; not retrievable once set.
Also known as: QR code, Session QR, Session URL
An encrypted, time-limited URL (with a paired QR code) that grants a device access to one Cloud Platform action. Expires automatically; you can revoke it at any time.
Also known as: SKUs, Stock Keeping Unit
A Stock Keeping Unit — the unique code that identifies a single sellable variant of a product. Every variant in Logistified is keyed by its SKU; variants without a SKU are flagged on the data-quality tile.
Also known as: Archived, Archived PO
A record hidden from active workflows but retained for history or audit instead of being permanently removed.
Also known as: Pinned view
A view you’ve marked as a favorite. Appears at the top of the view sidebar for quick access.
A fixed reorder point you set yourself, instead of letting the model compute one. Display + threshold-filter only — the forecast model uses its own computed reorder point in reorder math.
Also known as: Stocktake, Inventory count
A physical count of inventory at a location, used to reconcile what you have against what the system says. Logistified writes the corrected quantities back to Shopify when you complete the take.
Also known as: stock-out-notification, stock-out-trigger, stock-out-alert
A trigger inside the Custom Stock Notification rule that fires the moment a variant’s on-hand inventory crosses to zero. Does not re-fire while the variant stays at zero — re-arms only after stock rises back above zero. Enhanced-plan feature.
The audio cue a Cloud Platform device plays when a scan matches. Configurable per shop in Settings → Cloud Platform.
A balance you have with a supplier — money they owe you, from a return order (RMA) or a manual adjustment. It can be deliberately applied to a future PO with the same supplier and currency.
Also known as: Performance bucket
A grouping based on the supplier’s on-time-delivery rate — “Excellent” (95%+), “Good” (90–94%), “Needs improvement” (less than 90%), or “No data” (no completed POs yet).
Also known as: On-time delivery rate
A percentage you set manually on a supplier representing how reliably they deliver on time. Default off. Used by the forecast’s reorder math only when the supplier-reliability setting is enabled on the view.
Also known as: Supplier-variant mapping
The relationship between one supplier and one variant — the supplier’s SKU, product name, product URL, variant notes, barcode, cost, MOQ, max order qty, pack size, and lead time. A variant can have many links; one is marked primary.
A per-variant target stock level you set as an override. Used by min/max replenishment workflows as the “refill to” target.
A saved tax-rate record you can attach to suppliers and POs. Three types — sales, purchase, and shipping. Configured in Settings → Tax Rates.
Also known as: threshold-notification, threshold-trigger, stock-threshold
A trigger inside the Custom Stock Notification rule that fires the moment a variant’s on-hand inventory crosses from above a configured value to at or below it. Re-arms only when stock rises back above the threshold. Enhanced-plan feature.
Also known as: TO
A document that records moving stock between two of your own locations. No supplier involved — both ends are yours.
A rule that auto-creates a supplier from a Shopify vendor name. Useful when your Shopify vendors already map cleanly to real suppliers.
Also known as: Saved view, Forecast view
A reusable, named saved state — columns, filters, sort, location scope, and forecast settings (model, history period, growth amplifiers, safety stock). Views are the unit of reusable analysis across Logistified: they power the Forecast page, Notifications (which variants to alert on), Reports (which variants to email about), and PO creation (which variants to order from). Most operators build many views — one per real-world question (overdue reorders, slow movers, single-supplier batches) — and switch between them depending on what they’re doing.
A scheduled email built from a saved Forecast view — an aggregated dashboard with Coverage Summary, Reorder Recommendations, ABC Distribution, and Supplier Breakdown sections. Runs daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Enhanced-plan feature.
Remove a supplier credit from the available pool. Irreversible. Use it only when the credit was issued in error.
Also known as: Weighted recent
A forecast that weighs the last few days of sales more than older days. Useful when something recent changed — a new collection page, a paid ad, weather — and your near-term demand differs from your historical average.
