NetStock Review

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Experience has been really good. Service is outstanding and it was a really good business fit for our company. It has changed the way we manage, maintain and forecast inventory going forward and critical to our business success.

Pros:

NetStock has gave us the ability to manage their inventory levels accurately, reducing overstock and mitigating stockouts. This has help optimize our stock profiles across multiple locations. The demand planning features has allowed us to predicting future sales trends, allowing our business to have better insights into aligning inventory levels with predicted demand. Last but not least it has seamlessly integrated into our ERP system to pull data and to push purchase orders which was critical in making the software work for us and improved operations efficiency.

Cons:

Like many specialized software, NetStock could potentially have a learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with inventory management systems. This could potentially lead to usability issues for some users.

Alternatives Considered: NetSuite and Slim4

Reasons for Choosing Netstock: NetStock offered a better solution and more reporting capabilities which was a requirement for us along with seamless integration into our ERP system

Switched From: Valogix Inventory Planner

Reasons for Switching to Netstock: good value for money along with the integration and reporting capabilities made the decision to go with NetStock easier.

Netstock Review

Comments: So far, it's been pretty good. [sensitive content hidden] was great with my onboarding and the learning modules were good too. Easy integration with Sage.

Pros:

Forecasting, purchase order creation, data quality checks, enquiry screen, lead time calculation, safety stock calculation I also like that I could add vendors at my pace - so I started small and increased as my confidences and knowledge increased

Cons:

Inability to move from one item to the next (with like an arrow) function. Not being able to add days to the policy overrides. Vendor report cards would also be nice. More learning modules after the on boarding would be nice.

Comments: Overall, great/valuable enhancement to our ERP system.

Pros:

The ease of the exports is great. We use much of the Netstock info in combination with our regular ERP to create early buy presentations.

Cons:

I really wish the TTM month sales data could be viewed at item level when exporting a particular Warehouses data in excel. Currently, the only way I know how to view TTM month sales data is click on each individual item and view it on the item's tile.

Streamlining Inventory through Demand Planning & Forecasting

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: The experience with Netstock is transformative for the company. What began as a quest to improve inventory management quickly becomes a catalyst for operational excellence, cost savings, and enhanced customer satisfaction. By harnessing the power of data and advanced forecasting techniques, the business not only achieves its immediate goals but also lays a solid foundation for sustainable growth in a competitive market.

Pros:

More accurate forecasts, optimized inventory levels, cost savings, improved customer service, and streamlined operations, ultimately contributing to overall business efficiency and profitability.

The benefits of using Netstock

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Netstock helps us in having the right amount of stock in place, on the required dates.
Whenever questions are raised, the consultants answer rapidly, which is really appreciated.

Pros:

Netstock provides a customer friendly lay-out, delivers a great job on forecasting, taking all kinds of factors into account, like seasonality. It also has a dynamic daily safety stock calculation. Furthermore, our assortment is analysed in the Classification Matrix, which offers a clinical possibility to de-range products that don't contribute that well to velocity and margin.

Cons:

In our situation it's not possible to have a correction in place regarding out-of-stock positions (I'm not sure if this is Netstock related or the way Netstock has been implemented for us).

netstock 2023 review

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: With supplier performance, we work with them to find the issues, if any, to better plan our needs. This is a win win sitsution for both of us. Nestock has been a valuable tool to ensure we are able to meet the imediate and future clients needs. This is key for any business to survive and grow .

Pros:

The Dashboard addresses, at one glance the most important tasks to address . The downloadable reports are easily shared with suppliers for open po, future orders. This helps supplier to ensure goods are available at needed time line.

Cons:

Sometimes the future forecasts are off but we have noted that this happens for slower movers and seasonal needs. We monitor needs closer when this happens and with time and past data,NETSTOCK learn better.
