The problem
What gets in the way
A finished product can look available while one of the items inside it is running short.
02
Practical answer
What you can do
Compare the items needed for open orders with Shopify stock at the location preparing them.
- Keep Available and On hand separate
- Leave missing information unknown instead of guessing
- Create a stock request for a confirmed shortage

Kaijuu
How Kaijuu helps
Kaijuu helps you compare the items needed for open orders with the stock at the location preparing them.
Business example
Four lighting sets are short by two pendants
Each set needs three pendant lamps and one accessory kit. The accessory kits are ready, but the pendant stock is not enough.
| Product | Needed | Available | Short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pendant lamp | 12 | 10 | 2 |
| Accessory kit | 4 | 4 | 0 |
- Review the products needed
- Use the ten available pendant lamps
- Create a stock request for two more
- Pack only when every required product is ready

Frequently asked questions
Does checking stock set it aside for an order?
No. Viewing stock or setting a minimum level does not reserve it for a particular order.
Which orders can my team see?
Kaijuu can show the orders that Shopify makes available to the app under your store's permissions.
Can any Shopify merchant install Kaijuu today?
Availability details will be shared here when Kaijuu opens to merchants.
