Forthsuite vs the incumbents

Why ops-led Shopify brands switch to Forthsuite

Brightpearl, Cin7, and Stord were built for a different era — pre-Shopify, per-SKU pricing, 3-month onboarding. Forthsuite is the modern alternative for $1M–$50M Shopify operators.

FAQ

Common questions

What is Forthsuite?
Forthsuite is the umbrella brand behind five Shopify supply-chain apps: Forthcast (demand forecasting and demand sensing), Forthroute (returns management), Forthmatch (3PL performance tracking), Forthclear (surplus liquidation), and Forthsource (supplier verification) — plus Forthsuite Custom, bespoke AI supply-chain builds. Core app tools are free.
What is Forthsuite Custom?
Forthsuite Custom is a build service for 7–8 figure Shopify brands whose supply chain has outgrown off-the-shelf tools. It starts with a 90-minute Supply Chain Audit that produces a written AI Opportunity Report; if you go ahead, we build a custom AI system around your exact setup in 4–6 weeks, with an optional retainer for ongoing iteration.
Is Forthsuite free?
Most Forthsuite tools have a free tier. Forthcast costs $19.99/month flat rate. Forthroute, Forthmatch, Forthclear, and Forthsource all have free core functionality with no per-transaction fees.
Do I need to install all five apps?
No. Each app is independent — you can use Forthcast for forecasting alone, or just Forthroute for returns management. Install exactly what you need from the Shopify App Store.
Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?
No contracts. Forthcast is billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. The free apps are always free.
What is demand sensing and how does it work?
Demand sensing is a supply chain technique that uses real-time signals — point-of-sale data, social trends, weather, and promotional lifts — to predict near-term demand with greater accuracy than traditional statistical forecasting. Rather than relying solely on historical averages, demand sensing continuously adjusts forecasts based on what is actually happening right now. Forthcast uses demand sensing to give Shopify merchants accurate 12-month demand forecasts that adapt in real time.
What is a PO in supply chain management?
A PO (Purchase Order) in supply chain management is a formal document sent from a buyer to a supplier specifying the products, quantities, prices, and delivery date for an order. POs create a legal record of the transaction and help both parties track fulfillment. Forthcast automates PO generation for Shopify merchants — when stock levels fall below reorder points, it drafts purchase orders automatically based on current demand forecasts.

Supply chain too complex for off-the-shelf?

Start with a 90-minute Supply Chain Audit — you get a written AI Opportunity Report either way. If we build, delivery is 4–6 weeks.
