DETAILED ORDER PLAN FOR YOUR INVENTORY

Here is a snapshot of an order plan that has been created within StockTrim:

StockTrim Order Plan

Notice that this order plan includes:

  • The ability to see the item as it is used in other built products – a big plus for manufacturers with multi-level bills of material
  • Visibility into the item across all locations
  • A “create purchase orders” button to launch some or all of these into purchase orders

DEMAND CALCULATIONS BY ITEM

StockTrim allows you to set a number of parameters for each item when reviewing demand and forecast levels:

  • Minimum order quantity
  • Batch size
  • And more…

STOCKTRIM INVENTORY VS. QUICKBOOKS INVENTORY FORECASTING

Even though QuickBooks has an inventory module, the only real tool it provides for inventory forecasting and planning is the Inventory Stock Status Report.

It’s a good start…

But StockTrim takes it to the level you prefer when it comes to optimizing your stock levels.

I’ve put together this handy comparison chart to help you visualize StockTrim vs. QuickBooks functionality:

DID I MENTION INTEGRATIONS?

Here is a short-list of all the platforms StockTrim integrates with:

  • QBO
  • Xero
  • Shopify
  • Woo Commerce
  • BigCommerce
  • Katana
  • Cin7 and others

StockTrim also allows for a CSV upload of items in the event you do not want to connect it directly to your system.

Their intelligent forecasting algorithm reads your own data, makes sense of it for you, and then comes up with tailored demand forecasts and order plans specific to your business.

StockTrim then pulls relevant inventory data from your system including your products (for your current status), sales history (to base the forecasts from), Purchase Orders, Bill of materials (for manufacturers), Locations (for location specific forecasts), Customers (for customer forecasts).

The system then runs through this data in demand analysis, and calculates your order plan including your optimal purchase orders.
