Best Fit & Use Cases
You need to prioritize stocking, replenishment, or purchasing decisions. Do not change every step at once: test Statistical demand forecasting using historical sales data, seasonality, and trend… alongside Automated replenishment recommendations factoring in lead times, stock…
Consider it when these outcomes matter: Use Statistical demand forecasting using historical sales data, seasonality, and trend analysis in this step to bring sales, lead time, and availability into one decision; Automated replenishment recommendations factoring in lead times, stock levels, and safety stock; this can surface stockout, overstock, or purchasing signals earlier for review;

Selection advice
Planning on top of reliable inventory records
Netstock fits organizations with a working ERP or inventory system whose forecasting and replenishment still depend on spreadsheets. It uses connected business data to support planning, leaving transaction records in the existing system. Unreliable stock balances or supplier lead times therefore remain a purchasing obstacle rather than a problem that forecasting alone resolves.
Inventory Planner is a closer planning comparison
Inventory Planner is worth comparing for retail and ecommerce teams planning purchases across products and locations. The choice between Inventory Planner and Netstock should turn on the existing data connection, replenishment work and treatment of the team’s own sales history. A similar forecasting label does not prove equivalent recommendations for promotions, stockouts or new products.
Cin7 and Finale for inventory operations
Cin7 and Descartes Finale are relevant when the immediate gap is keeping inventory, orders and channel operations consistent. They overlap with parts of planning but also handle transaction processing, which Netstock is not intended to replace. Cin7 Core is a documented Netstock integration, so an inventory system and a planning product can be complementary purchases.
Katana, Fishbowl and the data needed for a trial
Katana and Fishbowl merit evaluation when materials, production or warehouse operations are the missing capability. That broader operating role should not be treated as proof of the same forecasting depth as Netstock. Before selecting a planning product, the team needs representative SKU and location records, sales history, lead times and open purchase orders to compare purchasing recommendations on a common basis.
Netstock third-party integrations
A prebuilt ERP connection supplies inventory, sales and purchasing data for planning; Netstock says generated orders can be sent back to the ERP.

Netstock FAQs address “What does Netstock inventory planning software do?” and “How does Netstock use ERP data for replenishment?”.
What does Netstock inventory planning software do?
Netstock uses inventory, sales, purchasing, and supplier data from a connected ERP to help planners forecast demand, identify stock risks, and prepare replenishment decisions. The underlying transaction records remain in the ERP.
How does Netstock use ERP data for replenishment?
Netstock combines ERP data with planning inputs such as lead time and safety stock to suggest what to order. Planners should check those inputs and the resulting order proposal before acting on it.
Does Netstock publish one standard monthly price?
Netstock directs buyers to request pricing for the products and implementation they need. A useful quote should identify the ERP connection, planning scope, services, and contract term rather than assuming one public monthly rate covers every setup.

Netstock product profile on G2.
I really like the visuals, the deep-dive features, and how easy it is to work with the forecasting models. The onboarding process has been smooth, and the support staff have been great as well.
I really like the incredible amount of visibility that Netstock offers. I use all the tools from projections to dashboards, and they're highly visible data, which is really important across different channels and different teams. Netstock saves a lot of time and doesn't require me to be an inventory genius. Making decisions based on the data I see rather than assembling it manually is a huge advantage for the business. I'd definitely rate it a 10 out of 10.

Netstock has improved inventory planning and reduced stock issues. Overall, it’s a reliable and valuable solution.
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.
We're still trying to figure out how we can maximize the use of all the data. Also the surprise rate increase was rather unwelcomed.
Netstock written reviews on TrustRadius.
Before using Netstock, we had a visibility problem which meant that we could not predict quickly and accurately the stock levels of a product over the next few months. We work with very long lead times and being able to have good visible and easy to use data is extremely important to both ourselves and our clients. We also used to work in silos in excel spreadsheets, meaning each state worked in its own special way creating a risk for the company, we now have all the same processes and the data is available and explicit to anyone.
We use Netstock for future forecasting, cash flow management, and Stock KPI's. Prior to Netstock, we used Excel spreadsheets, which were high risk because only one person knew how they worked and could use them. Now with Netstock, we have a cloud-based system with multiple users who understand how the system works and can see live what is going on.
We personally use it most for demand planning and reordering. It has taken the need of manually performed excel workbooks to determine our demand and ordering. Saved significant amount of time on that front. We have used it a little bit for distribution between our two warehouses although not as much as I thought.
I am in purchasing and it has made me more efficient in all of my tasks. We have a dozen vendors and over 30k SKUs (mostly inactive) but still a lot to manage. Prior to Netstock I used Excel and this was unworkable. Netstock now creates my orders for me and with the correct setup, review is minimal. We use a hub and spoke model and have 6 spoke DCs that we distribute product to so I also use the "Order from distribution center" function to create my transfers. Overall, Netstock has allowed me to manage more of the business than would have been possible before.
