01
Bin-level tracking
Every variant lives at one or more named bins. Configurable, searchable, and unique per location.
Multi-bin inventory & pick lists.
Built for Shopify warehouses.
Track one SKU across multiple physical bins, give pickers an exact walking order, and keep every bin total reconciled with Shopify's on-hand inventory.
- Low-stock alerts
- Per-variant thresholds, edge-triggered on every inventory change.
- Pick strategies
- Priority, single-bin, or consolidate-empty.
- Reconciliation
- Variance bin catches every external change.
WAREHOUSE COST CHECK
How much time disappears into finding stock?
Put rough numbers around slow picks, empty-bin searches, and backtracking. Then see how little of that time BinTech would need to recover to cover the plan for your catalog.
This is a planning estimate based only on your inputs. Test the workflow on the Free plan and measure your own before-and-after pick time.
TIME CURRENTLY SPENT 8.7 hours $191 / month
CATALOG FIT Pro · $29.99/month Cover the plan by recovering 16% of that time.
Built for the floor, not the dashboard.
BinTech doesn't replace Shopify's inventory. It subdivides it. Every feature is designed for the people who actually walk the aisles.
02
Automated pick lists
FulfillmentOrder webhook fires → BinTech generates a location-scoped pick list the moment Shopify routes an order.
03
Multi-location, first-class
Collapsible sections per warehouse, per-location inventory, and 3PL exclusion for anything managed by ShipBob or FBA.
04
Three picking strategies
Priority order, single-bin preference, or pick-to-empty. Chosen per shop, overridable per pick list.
05
Cycle counts & audits
Lock bins, count physical stock, reconcile with Shopify on confirmation. Every movement logged with who, when, and why.
06
Variance reconciliation
POS sale, damaged stock, surprise shipment? The variance bin catches every external change and surfaces it for review.
07
Low-stock alerts
Set per-variant thresholds. When available inventory drops below the line, BinTech fires on the webhook, not a daily cron.
08
Scan to pick
Point a phone camera at a product barcode, SKU, or bin label. BinTech matches it to the pick list and ticks the line. No handheld scanner to buy.
09
Printable bin & SKU labels
Print fixed-size Code128 labels for bins and SKUs. For products without barcodes, copy SKUs into Shopify's barcode fields for every eligible variant on the current page.
Native Shopify bins, and where BinTech takes over.
Shopify's native bin name works well when every variant has one permanent shelf. BinTech is for stock split between a pick face, backstock, and other physical bins.
Capability Native Shopify With BinTech
Physical storage One bin name per variant at each Shopify location One SKU split across multiple bins, each with its own quantity
Pick lists Printable lists sorted by a single bin name Automatic, mobile lists with reservations and three routing strategies
Stock accuracy Inventory totals held at the location level Bin-level cycle counts, audit history, and variance reconciliation

One order, five states, zero drift.
Every event that can change your inventory — order placement, picking, fulfillment, POS sales, returns — has a defined handler. Bins and Shopify's on-hand stay in lockstep.
-
Order placed
Shopify routes the order. FulfillmentOrder webhook fires with the assigned location.
-
Pick list generated
BinTech picks bins by strategy, subtracts active reservations, and writes a shareable list — no login required for pickers.
-
Worker picks from bins
Pickers tick items off on a mobile-friendly view. Items can be reassigned to a different bin mid-pick if stock shifted.
-
Pick list COMPLETED
All items picked. Bins still reserved. Awaiting merchant confirmation in Shopify.
-
Order fulfilled
orders/fulfilled webhook decrements bins for picked items only. Unpicked items become variance for review.
INVARIANT
sum(bin.quantity) ≤ Shopify.on_hand · always Designed by warehouse people, for warehouse people.
Every screen is mirrored inside the Shopify admin — your team never leaves the tool they already use for everything else.
Pick the way your warehouse actually runs.
Every order becomes a location-sorted pick list the moment Shopify routes it. Your team walks the shortest path, ticks each line by tapping or scanning, and BinTech decrements the right bins the moment the list completes.
SCAN TO PICK · EVERY PLAN
No handheld scanner required.
Point a phone or tablet camera at a barcode, SKU, or bin label. BinTech reads it, finds the line, and marks it picked. It works inside the Shopify admin and on the shareable public pick link.
- Resolves in a fixed order: barcode, then SKU, then bin.
- If products have no barcode, copy their SKUs into Shopify's barcode fields from the Products page.
- Green means it matched the list. Red means a real code that is not on it, so a wrong grab shows immediately.
- Several items in one bin? Scan once, then tick the ones you actually picked.
03 STRATEGIES
When a SKU lives in more than one bin, BinTech needs a rule to choose. Set one per shop and override it on any individual pick list, right up until the order is in progress.
STRATEGY · 01 01
Priority
Pick in the order you built.
Walk the aisle in a defined sequence. Best for warehouses with an established picking route or rack logic.
STRATEGY · 02 02
Single bin
One stop if possible.
Prefer the bin that holds the full order quantity. Falls back to priority when no single bin can fulfill.
STRATEGY · 03 03
Pick-to-empty
Consolidate as you go.
Empty the smallest bins first. Frees storage over time and keeps your inventory naturally condensed.
THE DELTA PROBLEM · SOLVED
Shopify changed something. You'll know about it.
A POS sale. A damaged unit. A return you didn't know about. When Shopify's on-hand drifts from your bin totals, BinTech records a variance — with the SKU, the location, and the delta — and waits for you to allocate or dismiss it.
- +N Positive variance. New stock arrived or a return landed. Shown as Unallocated — assign to a bin.
- −N Negative variance. A sale or shrinkage somewhere in the warehouse. Deduct from a bin or dismiss the discrepancy.
LOW-STOCK ALERTS · EDGE-TRIGGERED
Know before you're out.
Set a threshold on any variant. The moment Shopify's available inventory crosses the line, BinTech triggers the alert. Sales, adjustments, fulfillments. No polling. No daily cron. Seconds, not hours.
- Per-variant thresholds. Different reorder points for fast-movers and long-tail SKUs.
- Auto-resolve on restock. When inventory rises back above the threshold, the alert clears itself.
- Tier-gated limits. Free gets 25 alert SKUs, Unlimited gets no cap.
