Forthcast vs. Netstock

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.

• 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.

• 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.

i didnt shop around because Netstock had what we needed and it was going to work well with our old and our new accounting systems.
