# What happened to Inventory Insights in EZ Preorder

Inventory Insights, a page in EZ Preorder & Back In Stock, the Shopify app, that flagged at-risk, low-stock and high-demand products, is not currently available. It no longer appears in the app's menu, and its weekly "Inventory Insights Summary" email is switched off, so you won't see the page or get the email. Nothing else changed: your preorder list, restock alerts and **Dashboard** work as before, and Inventory Insights never changed products by itself.

**Available on:** Not currently available on any plan.  
**Where to find it:** It isn't shown in EZ Preorder at the moment.

## What Inventory Insights showed

Inventory Insights in EZ Preorder had three tabs, all built from your Shopify products and your orders from the last 30 days. Products already on your preorder list or restock list were left out of the first two tabs.

| Tab | What it listed |
| --- | --- |
| **At risk** | Products with a variant at fewer than 5 in stock that weren't on your preorder or restock list. |
| **Low stock** | Variants predicted to sell out within 7 days, with their **Inventory**, **Daily sales velocity** and **Predicted stockout**. |
| **High demand** | Under **Preorders**, your 10 preorder products with the most units sold in the last 30 days, with revenue in USD. Under **Restocks**, your 10 products with the most restock alert signups, with potential revenue. |

On the **At risk** tab, you could select products and use **Add to preorder list**, which added them with the **Sold out** rule, or **Add to restock list**.

### How the Low stock predictions worked

Each Low stock prediction in Inventory Insights was a straight-line estimate from the last 30 days of sales:

- **Daily sales velocity** was the units sold in the last 30 days divided by 30.
- **Predicted stockout** was the current inventory divided by the daily sales velocity, in days.
- A variant was listed only if it had sold at least 5 units in the last 30 days and was predicted to sell out within 7 days.

It didn't account for seasonality, incoming stock or planned promotions.

## Where to find similar information now

Without Inventory Insights, you can get the same kind of information from these places:

- **Out-of-stock and low-stock products:** in Shopify admin, go to **Products** → **Inventory** and sort or filter by available quantity.
- **Sales speed and stock remaining:** Shopify's inventory reports, such as "Inventory sold daily by product" and "Inventory remaining per product". See Shopify's guide to [inventory reports](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/reports-and-analytics/shopify-reports/report-types/default-reports/inventory-reports).
- **Restock demand by product:** EZ Preorder → **Restock Alerts** shows signups for each product (back in stock alerts collected by the Notify Me button). See [How to track restock signups and revenue](https://docs.ezpreorder.com/restock-alerts/track-restock-signups-and-revenue).
- **Preorder results:** the EZ Preorder **Dashboard** shows preorders and preorder revenue for any period. See [What the EZ Preorder Dashboard and metrics show](https://docs.ezpreorder.com/reports-ai-and-support/dashboard-and-metrics).
- **Adding products in bulk:** use **Bulk Add** or **Bulk Add Collections** on the **Preorder List** or the **Restock Alerts** page (Core plan and above). See [Manage your preorder list](https://docs.ezpreorder.com/preorders/manage-your-preorder-list).
