Stop finding out about supplier problems from your freight forwarder.
Popnest monitors port delays, tariff changes, and supplier issues 24/7 — and alerts you before they affect your stock. Connected directly to your Shopify store.
Built for operations and purchasing managers at small brands who import from overseas and can't afford to be the last to know.
What ops managers tell us
“I found out about a 3-week port delay from my freight forwarder — after I'd already promised delivery dates to customers.”
Ops Manager, pet accessories brand
“We had no idea tariffs changed until our landed costs shot up. By then we'd already placed the order.”
Head of Purchasing, outdoor gear
“Our supplier went quiet for two weeks. We only found out they had cash flow problems when they missed the shipment.”
Operations Lead, home goods brand
Sound familiar?
You're managing your supply chain with email threads and spreadsheets.
And when something goes wrong — a delayed shipment, a tariff change, a supplier going dark — you're always the last to know. Popnest changes that.
Your freight forwarder calls to tell you your shipment is delayed 3 weeks.
Popnest alerts you 2 weeks earlier — when port congestion starts building.
You find out about a tariff change after you've already placed your order.
Popnest monitors USTR filings and warns you before costs change.
Your supplier stops responding. You find out they had problems when they miss delivery.
Popnest tracks supplier financial signals and flags issues early.
How it works
Up and running in an afternoon.
No implementation project. No training sessions. No IT involvement. Just connect your store and let Popnest do the watching.
Connect in one click
Install from the Shopify App Store. Popnest reads your inventory and supplier data automatically. No spreadsheets to fill, no onboarding calls.
We watch what you can't
Ports, trade policy, supplier news, commodity prices, weather — Popnest monitors six external signals around the clock so you don't have to.
You get a clear alert
Not a dashboard full of noise. A plain message: "Port congestion in Yantian will likely delay your top SKU. You have 18 days of stock left."
Act on it — while you still can
Order early, find a backup supplier, adjust lead times. Popnest gives you the window to make a real decision instead of damage control.
What we monitor
Six signals your team can't watch manually.
Every other tool tells you when stock is low. Popnest tells you why it's about to happen — and connects that directly to your inventory data. You get a weekly Monday digest with everything you need to plan your week. Plus real-time SMS and email when something is urgent — not just noise.
