NETSTOCK INTEGRATES WITH SYSPRO
Netstock is built to drive agility and growth
Integrating with Netstock optimizes your supply chain planning while anticipating dynamic market demand and supply risk.
A smarter, more agile inventory management solution
The inventory management capabilities in SYSPRO are extensive, providing functionality around supplier information, product categories, and locations. This data enables forecasting and recommended orders. Netstock extends SYSPRO’s inventory functionality and provides visibility and flexibility to adjust planning in response to market changes to balance inventory holding and meet demand.
Enable a more dynamic view of your supply chain
With Netstock’s AI-powered predictive supply chain planning solutions, you gain visibility to optimize supply chain planning, enabling quicker decision-making, unlocking working capital, and improving customer service.
Item classification
SYSPRO uses a Pareto analysis to classify its inventory; however, they base their classifications on one criterion only, which uses sales value to distinguish items. With Nestock, we enhance inventory accuracy by using two criteria, the ABC for sales value and HML (high, medium, low) for sales velocity. Netstock’s classification matrix lets you prioritize your time and inventory dollars.
Forecasting new items
New items are forecasted using a proxy method in SYSPRO, where the new item is judged on another item with the same or similar characteristics. To achieve a better seasonal forecast, Netstock instead assigns the new item to a group of like-for-like items. This group would have an established seasonal forecast to base the new item’s forecast.
Safety stock
Netstock achieves dynamic safety stock levels, which provides a far more accurate calculation. Safety stock is calculated on each item’s classification. If something changes to an item and the supplier becomes unreliable, Netstock will automatically increase the safety stock level. This ensures you never have too much or too little in your safety stock buckets.
Top-up orders
When placing recommended orders, it’s common to have extra space in the container. Filling that space with additional orders is beneficial to make shipping more cost-effective. Netstock simplifies this process by scanning your inventory and suggesting items that are close to needing replenishment. This allows you to top up your container with the right products, eliminating the need for manual guesswork and preventing unnecessary excess stock.
