Genie alternative: where to take your inventory and POs

// tl;dr

Genie closed on August 31, 2025, and by its own account deleted its data by October 31, 2025. If you exported your products, purchase orders, shipments and inventory table before then, you can rebuild in Keel HQ: suppliers, open purchase orders and SKU settings from spreadsheets you map column by column. If you didn't export, Genie says it can't help now.

Genie's help center documents the shutdown (full FAQs and data and migration, both accessed 2026-10-30). Everything about Genie below comes from those two pages.

What Genie says happened

All customer access ended on August 31, 2025 at 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time. There was no grace period.
Genie joined Doss, and the app was retired as part of that move.
Before the end you could export products, purchase orders, shipments and the inventory table. Genie said it couldn't transform the data for you.
Your Shopify store data was unaffected. Genie's own production data and backups were to be permanently deleted by October 31, 2025.

Rebuild in Keel HQ

Keel HQ has no import preset for Genie, so you map its export's columns yourself. There is no live connection to Genie; you upload files, and nothing saves until you review it.

01Add your suppliers first
Keel HQ's file presets don't read supplier payment terms, so start from a spreadsheet of your suppliers. Open Inventory → Settings, find the Suppliers card and click Import. Choose Your own spreadsheet: Suppliers, with Supplier name, Lead time (days), MOQ, Currency, Payment terms and Email. Review, then click Import. Each imported purchase order copies its supplier's payment terms, and those payments feed the cash forecast.
02Import your open purchase orders
Use the purchase order export you made before the shutdown (it includes open and closed orders), and keep only the open ones. In Keel HQ, open Inventory → POs and click Import, which opens Inventory → Import. Under What is this file? choose Your own spreadsheet: Purchase orders, click Choose file, and match each field in the Columns card to a column. PO number, Supplier and Quantity ordered are required; rows with the same PO number make one PO. Then Review import.
03Import supplier and lead time per SKU
On Inventory → Import, choose Your own spreadsheet: SKU settings, one row per SKU with SKU, Supplier, Lead time (days), MOQ and Reorder point (units).

What Keel HQ doesn't do

No Genie import preset and no live connection. You bring your own files and match the columns.
No statistical demand forecast. Reorder points use the trailing 90-day pace.
Keel HQ doesn't email purchase orders to suppliers.
Keel HQ is in private beta, with a waitlist.

Questions

Can I still get my data out of Genie?

Genie's FAQ says accounts are no longer accessible after August 31, 2025, and that its production data and backups were to be permanently deleted by October 31, 2025. If you didn't export, ask whoever handled your Genie account whether they kept anything.

What did Genie let you export?

Per its data and migration article: products, purchase orders (open and closed, not cancelled), shipments and the inventory table.

Can I import a Genie export into Keel HQ?

As your own spreadsheet. Keel HQ has no Genie preset, so under Inventory → Import you choose Your own spreadsheet: Purchase orders, Suppliers or SKU settings and match the columns yourself. There is no live connection to Genie, and you review everything before it saves.
