8. App details
Long-form descriptionBundle Sync
Bundle Inventory Sync solves a gap in Shopify: when a bundle sells, component inventory is not automatically reduced. This app tracks which variants make up each bundle and deducts component stock with every order, keeping inventory accurate without manual work. Merchants define bundles by mapping a bundle variant to its components and quantities. Syncs trigger automatically on orders or manually via Sync Now. A deductions log records every adjustment for full visibility.
Materials Inventory
Easily manage raw materials & products inventory. Let the app set your products' inventory based on your raw materials' inventory. Keep them in sync at all times and in real-time. Track your raw materials costs and your products profitability. Create purchase orders & order the right amount of materials at the right time. Stop overselling and stop being out of stock.
