Morsa publishes this guide. Morsa is software with an AI agent that works in your ERP, email and Teams; it turns an approved reorder list into POs and chases suppliers. Prices read 8 November 2026.
Quick answer
Do you need a tool over ERP min/max? Only if forecasts per warehouse, long or seasonal lead times, containers or stock stuck in the wrong site are costing you. If not, tune the ERP’s reorder points first (more below).
Two warehouses, no containers: Netstock Essentials, $10,800 a year at its starting price. Every bundle sets safety stock per SKU at each location [1].
You want excess moved between the two sites, or full containers built: Netstock Commercial, from $24,000 a year. Netstock aims Commercial at importers and multi-warehouse businesses [1].
Seasonal demand or long lead times: Netstock Advanced, from $18,000 a year, plans 24 months ahead [1].
Staying in the ERP: if your ERP is Business Central, supply planning comes with the Essentials licence at $80 a user a month. NetSuite’s Advanced Inventory module is reported at about $500 a month [8][9].
Inventory planning software prices, vendor by vendor
Tool | Price | What it forecasts and replenishes |
|---|---|---|
Netstock | Essentials from $900 a month, Advanced from $1,500, Commercial from $2,000; annual subscription; 6 to 10 weeks to implement; no implementation fee or per-location charge published [1] | Essentials: forecasts, safety stock per SKU and location, order suggestions, supplier on-time tracking. Advanced: 24-month stock projection. Commercial: container builder, moving excess between locations. A Demand Planning add-on (promotions, channels, new launches) is custom-priced. Connects to more than 60 ERPs [1] |
EazyStock (Syncron) | Quote from a standard price list by version, users and SKU count; billed annually, or monthly for 10% more [2]. Not published by EazyStock; SoftwareSuggest, on a profile Syncron has claimed, lists $640, $1,280 and $1,984 a month by edition [12] | Demand forecasts, reorder points and order proposals from your ERP data, including Business Central [2] |
Lokad | Flat monthly fee per type of decision, starting “in the low-digit thousands of EUR or USD”; onboarding about six months, billed at the same monthly rate; “little or no commitment beyond the current month” [3] | Lokad’s own staff build a custom model and produce the order quantities for you [3] |

Blue Ridge | No price on its website [10] | Distributors, manufacturers and retailers “primarily $100M to $5B in annual revenue” [10] |
What it costs a distributor with 3,000 SKUs and two warehouses
Our example: two warehouses, 3,000 stocked SKUs, $3 million of inventory, ERP min/max today. Software at each vendor’s published starting price. Netstock publishes no per-location charge, so ask for the quote at two locations; implementation fees are not published by anyone here, so they are left out.
Option | Year one software | How we got it |
|---|---|---|
Business Central reorder points | $0 extra | Planning is in the Essentials licence; the requisition worksheet also suggests transfers between the two warehouses [9] |
NetSuite Advanced Inventory | About $6,000 | $500 a month, reported by NetSuite consultancy BrokenRubik, not by Oracle [8] |
Netstock Essentials | $10,800 | $900 × 12 [1] |
Netstock Advanced | $18,000 | $1,500 × 12 [1] |
Netstock Commercial | $24,000 | $2,000 × 12; the bundle that moves excess between the two sites [1] |
Lokad | Quote | Lokad says “low-digit thousands” a month, and the six onboarding months are billed at that rate, so year one is 12 months of fees [3] |
EazyStock, StockIQ | Quote | Ask for the price at 3,000 SKUs and two locations |
Does it pay? Our estimate: carrying stock costs about 20% of its value a year (money tied up, space, shrink), so $600,000 on $3 million. Cutting inventory by 2%, $60,000 of stock, saves $12,000 a year, more than Netstock Essentials. Netstock says its customers average a 25% reduction in inventory holding, without saying over what period or from what starting point [1]. Set your own target with the safety stock calculator before you buy.
ERP planning or a separate tool
Your ERP already plans. Business Central’s requisition worksheet suggests purchase and transfer orders from reorder points and demand [9]. NetSuite’s Advanced Inventory Management recalculates reorder points and safety stock from past sales and lead times [11].
A separate tool earns its fee when one of these is true:
Thousands of SKUs need forecasts by warehouse, and a buyer can no longer review them line by line.
Lead times are long or seasonal, so a reorder point set last quarter is wrong by the time the order lands.
You import by the container and want full containers, not partial ones.
Excess sits in one warehouse while the other reorders the same item.
If none of those fit, tune the ERP’s reorder points and revisit in a year.
Placing and confirming the POs the plan suggests
When the buyer accepts the day’s suggestions in Netstock or the ERP, someone still has to place, confirm and chase each order. Morsa does that in your ERP (Business Central, NetSuite, Prophet 21, Acumatica or another):
It drafts the POs; the buyer approves the batch in Teams, and each PO goes from the buyer’s mailbox.
It reads each acknowledgement and writes the confirmed date and quantity onto the PO, so the next plan uses real lead times.
A late or short confirmation gets a reminder; the buyer approves that kind of reminder once, and after that it runs under that rule.
What to do this week
Export 12 months of sales and on-hand by SKU and warehouse from the ERP.
Mark your three worst stockouts and three biggest excess items, by site.
Send the same file to Netstock and one other vendor, asking for the price at 3,000 SKUs and two locations, the implementation fee and the contract term in writing.
Sort the excess list with the excess and obsolete inventory tool so you know what a 2% cut is worth to you.
For a retail buyer, the month’s buying budget can start in a free open to buy template before any software.
