Reorder intelligence built into your low stock signal
This week's release sharpens the signals you already act on and adds the first ERP integration. Low-stock warnings now include reorder timing, vendor selection, and cost analysis. The signal queue gets quieter as resolved items fade and each person hides what is not relevant to their role. Shopify install work continues toward public availability.
Low stock warning now includes reorder intelligence
What changed. The low stock signal now provides reorder timing, recommended vendor, expected cost, and a flag for cheaper alternatives in your vendor list. It accounts for inventory already in transit on existing purchase orders.
What this means for you. Instead of receiving an alert that something is running low and then sending it to your ops team to investigate, the signal arrives with the decision pre-loaded. The recipient sees not just the problem but the recommended action.
Who benefits most. Merchants with multi-vendor sourcing, longer lead times, or thin margins on inventory carrying costs.

Skubana ERP integration (first of several)
What changed. Connecting Skubana enriches the low stock signal with live vendor catalog, purchase order data, and historical sourcing patterns. Non-Skubana merchants receive a lighter version of the same improvements.
What this means for you. If you run on Skubana, vendor names, prices, and PO timing are accurate to your own system. If you run on another ERP, expect more integrations to follow.
Who benefits most. High-SKU merchants and operations leaders managing reorder cycles across multiple vendors.

Signal queue refinements
What changed. Once a signal is marked resolved, it visually recedes in the queue instead of remaining at full prominence.
What this means for you. The active view stays focused on what still needs attention. Less scrolling past completed work to find current priorities.
Who benefits most. Teams with high signal volume or shared queues across multiple roles.
Per-user signal hiding
What changed. Each user can hide signal types that are not relevant to their role. Hiding is personal and does not affect what other team members see.
What this means for you. Your sales team is not looking at low-stock alerts. Your ops team is not looking at cart abandonment. Each role's view is tuned to the decisions they own, which improves adoption and the rate at which signals get acted on.
Who benefits most. Teams with multiple roles using IdealData together (sales, ops, marketing, leadership).
Shopify
Simplified onboarding flow (in beta)
What changed. Foundation work for the Shopify install experience continues. Once live, merchants install IdealData from the Shopify App Store, are auto-registered on our platform, and start their data sync from the first app load.
What this means for you. Setup time for Shopify merchants drops from a multi-step onboarding to a single install. The full public launch is approaching.
Who benefits most. Shopify merchants. Closed beta is open by request.
