StockIQ Technologies vs. Valogix Inventory Planner

We have year end buying goals discounts offered to us, StockIQ allows us to determine whether or not these are worthwhile to our company. It allows us to easily reach out several months to see what that would look like.

Valogix is a good tool for a mid to large sized business who has a lot of SKUs and much data that needs to be analyzed to determine supply. It is best used by savvy people, as there is quite a learning curve to it. It integrates well with NetSuite, though I cannot speak to how well it may integrate with other ERP systems.

• Calculates how much it thinks you should have on-hand, based on demand and other factors.
• Integrates with NetSuite to include all your demand, supply, item and location data.
• Automatically determines seasonality for items.

Incentivized

• The UI for their product (web application) is weak.
• Does not support multiple units of measure well.

We previously used Rockysoft that has since become obsolete, SIQ has the options from that program that we enjoyed and so much more, ease of use and visibility of details have been a real game changer.

Compared to NetSuite's default demand planning module, Valogix shines. NetSuite's product is very weak, very manually-driven, and does not provide the precise level of control that Valogix does. We used NetSuite's module for a while before realizing it wouldn't work for us whatsoever. It might work for you if you have a simple product setup, few SKUs and only one location. But in that case, you probably don't need demand planning software anyway.

Incentivized

• It has begun to reduce time for us taken up by running manual spreadsheet calculations.
• The training was time-consuming and difficult to onboard new users when we had turnover.
