If you’re an SMB using ERP One, you already have a strong foundation in place. It keeps your inventory data accurate, your teams aligned, and your day-to-day operations running smoothly.

Building on that foundation, many growing businesses look to take their inventory management to the next level, especially when it comes to planning what to order, when to order it, and in what quantities. As product ranges expand and supply chains become more dynamic, having deeper planning insight becomes increasingly valuable.

That’s where Netstock enhances your ERP One environment. It works with the trusted data already in your system and transforms it into forward-looking, predictive insight, helping you make confident, well-informed inventory decisions while continuing to run everything through ERP One.

The real challenges SMBs are up against

The supply chain landscape is getting tougher, not easier. With unpredictable demand, supplier delays, and tighter cash flow, SMBs are forced to balance service levels and working capital more carefully than ever.

The impact isn’t just operational, it ties up cash, puts service levels at risk, and makes planning feel reactive instead of controlled.

ERP One gives you a clear picture of what’s happened. Netstock helps you see what’s coming next. SMBs today need AI-driven, forward-looking tools that anticipate inventory risks, adapt quickly, and guide smarter planning decisions.

Here are the challenges we hear from SMBs every day:

  • "Our forecasts aren’t adjusting when demand shifts."
  • "Safety stock feels like a guessing game."
  • "We can see we have stock issues, but don't know how to prevent them."
  • "Our team spends hours in spreadsheets trying to fill the gaps."
  • "We’re not sure which items deserve our attention first."
  • "Supplier delays keep catching us off guard."

Sound familiar? Building on that foundation, businesses are increasingly complementing their ERP data with forward-looking, analytics-driven planning tools built specifically for their unique circumstances.

How Netstock complements ERP One

Netstock helps SMBs make ordering decisions earlier, with fewer surprises - without changing how ERP One is used day-to-day.

The solution builds on your ERP One data to deliver:

  • AI-powered planning that goes beyond historical reports and manual workarounds.
  • Predictive forecasting, dynamic safety stock adjustments, and proactive exception management.
  • Intuitive dashboards and automated classification highlight the SKUs and suppliers that matter most.
  • AI-driven recommendations flag issues early, so teams can act before problems happen.

With ERP One and Netstock, SMBs will quickly prevent stock-outs, reduce excess inventory, and make faster inventory decisions.

So what does that actually look like?

Forecasting & demand planning

Netstock’s AI-driven forecasting engine uses statistical models that adapt to different demand patterns. This allows planners to choose models that match the behaviour of each SKU, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all average. This creates forecasts that reflect how your products actually behave, not averages that mask risk.

Dynamic safety stock & service-level optimisation

Instead of fixed safety-stock levels, Netstock calculates buffers based on supply and demand variability. Netstock’s safety stock AI tool will instantly analyse and understand current safety stock coverage and risk factors. Users can adjust target service levels by item or category, helping strike the right balance between availability and cost. Safety stock is one of the biggest drivers of both service levels and tied-up cash.

Inventory classification & exception management

Netstock classifies SKUs by value and velocity, helping teams prioritise high-impact items. Exceptions are flagged automatically – such as late orders, stock-outs, and overstock - so planners can respond quickly and focus on what needs attention. This means planners spend less time firefighting and more time improving performance where it counts.

Redistributing excess stock across warehouses
Netstock lets you analyse stock levels, identify surplus, and plan effectively to move inventory where it’s needed most. Whether transferring from one location to many or consolidating from many to one, once destinations are set, an automated transfer order is created directly in your ERP One, saving time and reducing manual effort.

Integration that works

Netstock is designed to sit neatly alongside ERP One, not to compete with it, replace it, or complicate it. There’s no change to your core processes, just better decisions feeding back into ERP One. You get predictive planning without custom development or changing the systems your team already knows.

The ERP One - Netstock integration is genuinely simple, requiring minimal IT involvement.

Here’s how everything flows between ERP One and Netstock:

  • ERP One sends your item, supplier, stock, and sales data into Netstock.
  • Netstock transforms it into forecasts, recommendations, and dashboards.
  • ERP One stays your primary system of record.
  • You get all your planning intelligence in one clean workspace.

What it feels like to use

You log into Netstock (web-based, easy, intuitive) and instantly see:

  • Which items need attention.
  • Where you’re at risk.
  • What to order.
  • What’s overstocked.
  • Where the biggest opportunities are.

That means no jumping between screens. No exporting and re-importing files. No coding. No disruption. Instead of reacting to yesterday’s problems, teams can act early and with confidence.

And the best part? Most SMBs are up and running within 30–45 days, often experiencing clear improvements before completing their first month of use.

Here’s what many SMBs experience after implementing Netstock:

Once Netstock and ERP One start working together, things shift quickly.

  • Up to 30% less excess stock.
  • Up to 70% time saved in demand planning activities.
  • Fill rates climbing to 98% or more.
  • More control across multiple warehouses.
  • Fewer stock-outs (and fewer customer complaints!).
  • Faster forecasting cycles with less manual effort.
  • Better insights into supplier reliability and lead times.
  • A planning process that grows with you, not one held together by spreadsheets.

In short, businesses experience fewer surprises, greater stock visibility, and inventory that’s consistently under control.

Together, ERP One and Netstock help SMBs reduce risk, improve service levels, and plan ahead with a practical, scalable approach, without overcomplicating the systems they already rely on.
