Netstock

Netstock is a cloud-based supply and demand planning application that connects to a company's ERP or accounting system and layers forecasting, inventory optimization, replenishment, and sales & operations planning (S&OP) on top of the transactional data already held there. It is positioned for small and mid-sized distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers that have outgrown spreadsheet-based planning but do not want the cost or complexity of an enterprise supply-chain suite.

The platform continuously pulls sales history, on-hand stock, open orders, and supplier data from the connected ERP, classifies every SKU by sales value and velocity, and calculates item-level safety stock and reorder points based on demand variability and supplier reliability. Its forecasting engine, branded Pivot Forecasting, applies machine learning to account for trend and seasonality and lets planners forecast top-down, bottom-up, or middle-out across dimensions such as product, channel, customer, region, and unit of measure. Planners can run what-if scenarios, model promotions and price changes, and align a consensus demand plan across sales, operations, procurement, and finance.

Netstock is delivered as a subscription SaaS product with prebuilt connectors for a range of mid-market ERPs, so most deployments avoid heavy custom integration work. The company emphasizes time-to-value, with implementations measured in weeks rather than months. More recent additions include an AI recommendation layer that surfaces ordering and inventory actions, and a Container Builder module for assembling container-ready purchase orders.
