“I would recommend StockIQ to everybody who has inventory. The preparation they put into our implementation put us in the perfect spot to succeed when we went live. We’re almost two years in now, and we still get help and support as easily as when the implementation began. Sometimes they even know there’s an issue before we do.”

Their lean team needed a smarter, automated way to forecast demand, prevent stockouts, and reduce excess inventory.They faced:
-
Demand volatility across B2B channels

Irregular sales patterns across thousands of SKUs

Complexity from mergers and newly acquired product lines

Spreadsheet-heavy workflows and limited inventory visibility

“StockIQ has been so easy to use; we can just point and click our way around. We were ready to go by the second day of training, so the ROI has been full throttle from the drop of the hat. Between the time I save and hitting lost sales we used to miss, it paid for itself in the first six months and has been doing that over and over ever since.”
