Questions brands ask
Does Material Inventory change my Shopify inventory?
Only when you record production: the produced quantity is added to the location you choose. Order deductions only affect your material stock.
Can I import my existing materials?
Not inside the app yet. On Scale, our team migrates your data for free, from a spreadsheet, another app, or however you work today.
Is my data safe?
The app and its database are hosted in the EU. We only store what the app needs, never customer names or addresses. We never sell your data, and only share it with the services that run the app. If you uninstall, your shop's data is deleted about 48 hours later. Read our privacy policy
What does it not do yet?
Material Inventory keeps one stock per material, not per location. It doesn't handle purchase orders or suppliers; you add incoming materials with a stock adjustment. It doesn't track expiry dates or batches, so it may not suit food or supplements yet.
