How to use Genie

Getting started with Genie is designed to be a quick and seamless process, taking only a few minutes to integrate with your business operations.

1. Install and Sync: Install the Genie app from the Shopify App Store. The platform will then guide you through a simple 5-part onboarding process to sync your store's data, including products, sales history, and locations.
2. Explore the Dashboard: Once synced, the main dashboard provides an immediate, high-level overview of your inventory health. Instantly see critical metrics like items that are running low, out of stock, or overstocked, as well as how your capital is distributed across your product catalog.
3. Dive Deep with the Inventory Table: For more granular analysis, use the 'Inventory Table'. This feature acts like a supercharged spreadsheet, allowing you to filter, segment, and drill down into sales, inventory, and working capital data without the manual effort.
4. Streamline Purchase Orders (POs): Create, manage, and track purchase orders within minutes. The system can recommend replenishment quantities, manage multiple currencies, track split shipments, and account for landed costs, discounts, and fees.
5. Automate Reporting: Break free from Shopify's reporting limitations. Set up custom, automated reports on key metrics like stockouts, dead stock, and stock assets. These reports can be configured to run on your preferred schedule and sent directly to your inbox.
6. Manage Suppliers: Centralize all your supplier information. Store contact details, lead times, and other critical data in one place to streamline communication and ordering workflows.
