What is Honey Shelf
Velocity-driven production planning for D2C apparel brands — the six-stage pipeline and the three roles, at a glance.
Honey Shelf tells apparel brands what to produce and when, based on how fast each product actually sells. Instead of reacting to individual orders, it watches your sales velocity and flags products before they run out — then walks the replenishment through a six-stage pipeline from suggestion to stock in your store.
The pipeline
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 — Stock & Demand | Sales velocity, days of stock remaining, and suggested order quantities per product |
| 2 — Production Orders | Review and approve suggestions; approving reserves raw materials per the BOM |
| 3 — Buy Materials | Purchase orders for material shortfalls, with approval limits and supplier PDFs |
| 4 — Receive Goods | Record deliveries against POs, quality-check them, return rejects |
| 5 — Produce | Work orders consume reserved materials; QC lots record inspection results |
| 6 — Release to Store | Ship approved stock: finished-goods inventory updates and pushes to Shopify |
The three roles
| Role | Who this usually is | In short |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | Owner or founder | Everything, including team, integrations, approvals, and billing |
| Production lead | Factory floor manager and buyer | Full pipeline and catalogue; no team/billing/integration settings |
| QC manager | Quality control | Full visibility; acts on receiving and QC; view-only elsewhere; no access to Buy Materials |
Notifications
The bell in the top navigation collects your in-app notifications: purchase-order approval requests and outcomes, goods receipts, stockout alerts, integration issues, and anomaly alerts. Clicking a notification takes you to the screen it concerns; "View all" opens the full list. Notifications are personal — each teammate sees their own. Email delivery is separate: most operational events arrive in the twice-daily digest, configurable in Settings → Notifications.
Known design choices, stated plainly: inventory is one company-wide pool (no per-warehouse breakdown), each organisation operates in a single currency chosen at signup, and sales come from your D2C channels (Shopify, or your OMS for multi-channel sellers) — there is no wholesale order management.
