Sidekick manages your Shopify store. Floorkeep manages your entire operation — coordinating inventory across every platform, correlating labor demand with sales velocity, automating compliance workflows, and orchestrating your supplier network.
Sidekick runs your Shopify store brilliantly. Your business runs on more than Shopify.
Sidekick is excellent at what it does. Floorkeep handles everything it can't — across every platform, every location, and every operational layer.
Monitors stock across Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, and WooCommerce simultaneously. One unified view. Reorder triggers fire regardless of which platform sold the last unit — Sidekick never sees the other three.
Correlates sales velocity, foot traffic patterns, and inventory movements to predict staffing needs. When demand spikes, Floorkeep flags it before you're understaffed. Sidekick has no payroll awareness at all.
Automates multi-location compliance workflows — tax filing cadences, product recall responses, returns policy enforcement. Flags regulatory exposure before it becomes a fine. None of this exists in Sidekick.
Coordinates autonomous workflows across your entire supplier network — purchase orders, lead time tracking, multi-supplier price discovery, and fulfillment routing. Sidekick operates within a single merchant's Shopify account.
Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, WooCommerce, your POS — Floorkeep connects them all into one operational layer. Use Sidekick for your Shopify store. Use Floorkeep for your business.
You should use Sidekick — it's excellent at what it does, and it's free. But here's where it stops and Floorkeep starts.
