November 2025 Release
New Release: A Smarter, Faster, and More Collaborative Shelf Planner
This month, we’re excited to introduce a new and improved onboarding process - designed not only to get you started faster but also to enhance forecasting and collaboration with your suppliers, site developers, and team members. Here’s what’s new and how it benefits your business:
Store Onboarding & Synchronization: Quick, Easy, and Hassle-Free
After installing the Shelf Planner extension, you can begin setup in just one click using the ‘Complete setup’ notification or the ‘Get Started’ link. You’ll be guided through creating your account, where you can choose between a two-week free trial or an annual subscription. No technical skills are needed—just follow the simple steps, and you’ll be up and running in no time.
User Roles & Authorizations: Simple, Secure, and Tailored for Your Team
We’ve designed clear, easy-to-use roles to help you manage your business smoothly and securely:
- Business Owners: You’re in full control—manage your team, handle payments, and add tools as needed. This role gives you complete oversight while keeping everything organized and secure.
- Site Developers: These team members can set up your store but won’t have access to product details or order placement. This keeps your inventory safe while allowing technical support to focus on optimizing your store.
- Merchants/Buyers: Your day-to-day team can manage products, update stock, and place orders without accessing payment settings. This ensures they work efficiently while sensitive information remains protected.
With these roles, Shelf Planner helps you keep operations simple, secure, and running smoothly, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.
Product Setup & Order Recommendations: Faster Decisions, Less Guesswork
We’ve introduced improvements to help you make decisions faster and with greater reliability:
- Order Frequency: We now suggest the best schedule for reviewing order recommendations based on your industry. This means you’ll always have the right products in stock—without the stress of manual planning.
In-App Communication & Email Alerts: Stay Informed and in Control
As part of this update, we’ve built a stronger foundation to support your business now and in the future. Over the next two months, we’ll roll out user-specific in-app communication and email alerts, ensuring you’re always informed and in control.
These updates are just the beginning - expect more features in the coming months that will make your work easier, your decisions quicker, and your business more efficient.
Historical Analysis & Forecasting: Smarter Insights for Better Results
The new onboarding process includes faster synchronization and enhanced algorithms to improve how Shelf Planner analyzes your sales, products, and categories. This means:
- Fewer synchronization issues: Spend less time troubleshooting and more time managing your business.
- Improved forecasting accuracy: Get better insights into demand, reduce waste, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
What’s Next? This release sets the stage for even more powerful features designed to save you time, reduce waste, and help your business thrive. Stay tuned for updates - we’re just getting started!
Thanks again for all the positive and constructive feedback!
