The Shopify ERP alternative — forecasting meets manufacturing
Assemblified holds your Bills of Materials; Logistified forecasts demand and runs purchasing. Together they turn finished-product demand into component demand and order the raw materials automatically — a manufacturing + forecasting loop that approaches an ERP for roughly $18/month.
One connected loop
Logistified predicts finished-product demand.
Assemblified breaks it into components.
Component demand is forecast per location.
Supplier POs are created before you run out.
Hundreds of use cases, one stack
The two apps combine into thousands of workflows. A few of the most common, by category:
Manufacturing & production
- Forecast finished-goods demand, then explode the BOM to forecast every component
- Auto-create supplier POs for raw materials before a production run
- Schedule work orders from the forecast, not from guesswork
- Roll material + labour + overhead into a true per-unit cost
- Feed QC scrap/rework back into accurate component stock
Bundles, kits & sets
- Forecast bundle demand and keep every component in stock
- Stop overselling kits when one component runs low
- Reorder shared components across many bundles in one PO
- Pre-assemble popular kits and sell from a ready shelf
Subscription boxes
- Forecast next month's subscriber count into component needs
- Pre-kit boxes and auto-PO the items you're short on
- Restock components on a recurring cadence automatically
Makers (candles, soap, coffee)
- Forecast finished products → reorder wax, wick, oils or green beans
- Batch costing with real material + labour cost per run
- Account for yield loss (e.g. roast shrinkage) in component planning
Food & beverage
- Recipe BOMs + demand forecast → order ingredients before they expire
- FEFO-aware component planning for lots and shelf-life
- Production work orders tied to forecasted demand
Apparel & accessories
- Size-curve forecasts drive fabric, trim and packaging planning
- Component-level POs for cut-and-sew or assembled products
- Returns disassemble back into reusable component stock
Multi-location & 3PL
- Forecast per location, then transfer finished goods or components
- Allocate components to the right build site automatically
- Reconcile incoming component stock against Shopify
Finance & operations
- GMROI, turnover and days-on-hand on finished goods AND components
- Constraint-optimized purchasing (MOQ, pack size, container fill)
- One audit trail from forecast → work order → PO → receipt
Let an AI agent run the whole loop
Connect Claude or ChatGPT across both apps. Ask "what can I build this week, and what do I need to order?" — the agent reads demand, checks buildable quantities, creates the work orders and generates the component purchase orders.
Frequently asked
What does connecting Logistified and Assemblified actually do?
Assemblified holds your Bills of Materials and keeps component stock accurate; Logistified forecasts demand and runs purchasing. Connected, finished-product demand flows down to component demand, and the right raw materials are forecast and ordered automatically — one loop from sales to supplier.
Is this really an ERP alternative?
For Shopify-first brands, largely yes. Multi-level BOMs, work orders, component stock, demand forecasting, purchasing, transfers and returns cover the core of what a small manufacturing ERP does — at a combined price of roughly $18/month versus hundreds for traditional ERPs.
Do I need both apps?
No. Each works on its own — Logistified for forecasting and purchasing, Assemblified for BOMs and production. The use-cases on this page are what becomes possible when you run both together.
Can an AI agent drive the whole loop?
Yes, from the Enhanced plan. Connect Claude or ChatGPT and the agent can read demand, check buildable quantities, create work orders, and generate the component purchase orders — across both apps.
