Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Netstock for purchase orders for my head office and branches. Using opportunities AI has allowed me to avoid stock outs, get orders sent sooner than later to account for standard lead time.

Pros

  • Tools like forecast, projections help offset large customer orders coming in

Cons

  • navigating filter screen based on user profile rather than seeing all vendors, would be great to create a group based on user and certain vendors, classification, velocity
  • flagging items that are not truely overstock- there was a preseason buy

Likelihood to Recommend

Using the projection option when placing a stock order, the visibility is great, from future sales to potential stock out date.

Netstock Was THE Solution We Were Looking For

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As our company grew and had more buyers managing more and more items, most of them very seasonal, we had much more difficulty keeping an optimized inventory using traditional methods like Min/Max levels and spreadsheets. We eventually had more and more overstocked items and stock outs, and could not keep up with the seasonal trends using "manual" calculations and updates. Netstock has helped us tremendously with its item classification matrix, forecast engine and easy to use interface to keep inventory issues under control as well as streamline the entire purchasing and inventory management process.

Pros

  • Customizable item classification
  • Seasonal forecasting that can be adjusted to taylor our needs
  • Pinpoint top issues to address via the dynamic dashboard
  • Show today's recommended orders in sorted by priority
  • Outstanding customer support team that responds quickly

Cons

  • A little more flexibility in the multi-location and/or consolidation setup would help
  • Lacks the ability to apply "Event correction" settings on specific product groups or categories, it can currently only be applied to all or nothing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Based on our experience qith Netstock, there is no more excuses to stick with old, inefficient methods to manage and optimize inventory and purchasing. For us, Netstock pays itself and then some with all the time and guesswork we save. Nowadays, technology solutions are a must to stay ahead of the competition.

Value added, easy to use, strategic decision making

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Netstock allows us to make better inventory decision, simply put we use Netstock to have the right product in the right location at the right time. The daily dynamic calculations considers our daily sales, promotions & future demands providing our Hagen team with a more accurate over view of the health of our inventory. Our teams have become more strategic in their decision making.

Our global purchasing offices in Germany, UK, Germany & Canada are aligned utilizing a single platform "Netstock".

Pros

  • Global visibility , added value for stock assisstance
  • Areas that need attention are displayed on the dashboard with option to drill down if required
  • With more than 5000 different SKU it is difficult to keep track of all activities related to each SKU, the process is simplified with the help of this tool, everyone has access to the right information.

Cons

  • Supersession designation of item by region - Each market is different, having the ability to assign a supersession item specific to each mark would be nice feature
  • User report creation, ability to create custom reports utilizing existing fields within the Netstock environment without the need to approach Netstock and have the ability to schedule the report creation. (Similar to Analytics functionality)
  • Option to be able to view all "AI" opportunities for a given location with a single click, currently you need to click one by one to see all the opportunities.
  • Ability to limit comment creation based on user permission, currently regardless of the read of write permission a user can apply their comments to all locations by selecting the "To all locations" check box.

Likelihood to Recommend

Netstock has worked really well for us, its the right fit, every company needs to evaluate to make sure the software they choose to implement is aligned with their requirements and has the desired out put whilst meeting the companies goals and objectives.

We wanted to;
- Reduce of inventory value (reducing excess slow moving inventory)
- Reduction of stock outs (right inventory at the right time in the right location)
- More cash flow (concentrating on the 80/20 rule, freeing up cash flow from slow movers)
- Better buying decision




Netstock was a game changer

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Netstock to show how even though you may feel as if you do not have a lot of inventory on hand you sometimes are actually very overstocked. It brings to light how much money/cash flow is tied up in this inventory. It also helped a lot in dead stock inventory research.

Pros

  • User interface
  • User friendly
  • Precise information

Cons

  • Units of measurement

Likelihood to Recommend

We did a project on deadstock research and Netstock was very beneficial in finding these specific SKU's.

Revolutionise your stock management with Netstock

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were unable to forecast accurately which caused us issues with both excess stock and the creation of unnecessary back orders. After months of demos on other applications we decided that Netstock was the solution for us and we haven't looked back since, the flexibility it gives us when creating purchase orders is perfect for us to monitor our stock holding value and we particularly like the supplier performance module to track our poor-performing suppliers so we can review and eliminate any extended lead times to avoid the build-up of backorders. We are also able to develop our supplier relationships and understand their frustrations so we can make the necessary adjustments to our ordering frequency without presenting a risk to the business which is invaluable given the amount of change that has happened over the last few years.

Pros

  • Forecasts accurately
  • Warning of potential stock outs
  • Highlights excess stock
  • Monitors stock holding value

Cons

  • Forecast over longer periods
  • Create automatic purchase orders

Likelihood to Recommend
