Roadmap
What works today, what is being built, and what is still only an idea. Shipped means you can log in and use it this afternoon.
Most roadmaps are a wish list with the shipped column quietly padded. This one is the opposite: anything marked green you can log in and use this afternoon, anything marked amber is actively underway, and anything marked grey is an idea we like and have not committed to. No dates anywhere on this page, on purpose: read why at the foot of the page.
Shipped recently
- Order sizing rebuilt around the freight cliff. The plan now looks at what a shipment does to the whole coverage window rather than to a single day, which moved the bulk of a typical order off air freight and onto sea.
- VAT read from Shopify. Restocio uses the rate Shopify actually charged per product instead of one rate typed into settings. It reads only; nothing is written back.
- Stock write-back on receipt. What you receive in Goods in updates Shopify, with a compare-and-set guard so it can never overwrite a count that changed while you were working.
- Bulk cost and weight import. Fill in hundreds of products from a spreadsheet, matched on SKU, instead of one at a time.
Shipped
Use it todayEverything below is live in the product right now.
Daily order list with deadlines
Every product, its days of stock, and the last date you can order before you have to pay for faster freight.
Sales rate from in-stock days only
A product that keeps selling out is not a slow mover. Days with no stock are excluded from the rate rather than dragging it down.
Sea, rail and air on one order
The plan splits a single order across freight modes and sizes a bridge quantity to cover the gap until the sea shipment lands.
Production time in lead times
For made-to-order goods, the factory's production days sit in front of the shipping days. Left empty, it is ignored rather than guessed.
Purchase orders
With supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, payment terms and a record of what has been paid.
Goods in
Receive against a purchase order, including short and damaged lines, and see what is still outstanding.
Stock write-back to Shopify
What you actually received updates Shopify, not just Restocio, with a compare-and-set guard against overwriting a fresher count.
Claims
Log what arrived wrong, against the order and the supplier it came from.
Landed cost per unit
Goods and freight resolved to a real per-unit cost, with write-back to Shopify's cost field. Duty is a percentage you set yourself and is not in the figure yet.
Bulk import of costs and weights
CSV export and import matched on SKU, so missing product data can be filled in for hundreds of products at once.
Stock valuation and reports
What the stock is worth, what is on the water, and what it cost, taken from the receipts and the order log.
Demand
Monthly sales per SKU, so the shape of a product's year is visible rather than inferred.
Seasonality per product
Mark the months a product sells and the plan orders ahead of the season instead of during it.
Insights and purchasing overview
The executive view: what is at risk, what is tied up, and where the money went.
Savings
What choosing the slower freight mode actually saved, kept as a running record rather than a claim.
Activity log
Who changed what, and when. Useful when two people plan purchasing.
VAT read from Shopify
The rate Shopify charged per product, used for the margin maths, with the typed rate kept only as a fallback.
Freight and margin settings
Cost and transit time per mode, safety days, and which modes you are willing to use at all.
Email alerts
For the things that break quietly: a sync that failed, a write back to Shopify that did not land, the app being down. Deadlines and stockouts live on the dashboard, not in your inbox.
Suppliers
Lead times, minimum order values and production days per supplier, used by the plan rather than stored for reference.
In English
Throughout, including the emails. Swedish is switched off until every screen is translated.
Being built now
In progressWork that is actually underway. Still no dates, for the reason at the foot of the page.
Notification centre
One place to choose what you are told about, and whether it arrives as it happens or as a single daily brief instead of several separate emails.
Deeper supplier profiles
Contact details, country of origin, incoterms, and a freight rate per supplier rather than one rate for the whole shop.
Measured lead times
Learning how long a supplier really takes from the dates on your own orders, instead of relying on the number they quoted you.
Shopify App Store listing
So installing does not require us to send you a link.
Under consideration
Not promisedTeasers, not promises. Ideas we like and have not committed to, with no date attached to any of them: being asked about one tells us it matters, which is the only thing that moves it up this list.
A supplier portal
Where the factory confirms quantity, production time and ship date themselves, so an order, its confirmation and the chase for a late shipment live in one thread instead of across email.
Cash-flow view for purchasing
What a buying plan does to your bank balance over the coming months, not only what it does to your stock.
Ordering within a cash limit
An opt-in ceiling, so the plan can cut its own recommendation to what you can actually pay for this month. Off by default: a system should not assume you are short of money.
Accounting hand-off
Passing landed costs and stock values to the books without re-typing them.
Multiple stores and brands
Under one account, with one purchasing plan across them.
More languages
Driven by where customers actually are.
What a product really earns, after ad spend
Reading Google and Meta spend per product (catalog ads only, where the platform reports it) to show a second margin line next to landed cost, and to flag a product that is out of stock while ads are still pointing at it. Not a profit dashboard: no attribution modelling, no packaging or labour cost, no touching your ad accounts beyond reading them.
Why there are no dates
Because we would miss them. We are a small, self-funded team without a board deciding what ships when, and the order of this list changes whenever a customer tells us something we did not know: several of the items in the green section above exist because a customer asked for them and was right. A public date we miss costs more trust than a vague one ever earns us.
If one specific item decides whether Restocio is worth it for you, ask us directly. You will get a straight answer about where it really sits, including "we are not going to build that", which is sometimes the honest one.

Restocio plans purchasing for Shopify stores that import. It works out what to order, how much, and whether it should travel by sea, rail or air, so you pay air freight only for the units that genuinely cannot wait.
