Hold less stock.
Run out less often.

Wyzestock connects to your ERP and works out, for every item at every location, how much stock you should hold, what to order, what to move and what is tied up in excess. Seasonal forecasts, bills of material and a demand management report every morning are built in. No spreadsheets.

The right stock, in the right place, and no more

Too much stock ties up cash and warehouse space. Too little loses sales. Wyzestock balances the two for every item at every location, from the data already in your ERP.

How Wyzestock works The right stock at the centre, connected to six parts of Wyzestock: stock position, forecasting, replenishment, distribution, demand management and bills of material. Right stock, right place Stock position Model stock, excess and shortfall, item by location Replenishment What to order, from whom, rounded to how you buy Distribution What to move between locations before you buy Demand management Sales against forecast and production, every morning Bills of material Components planned from finished-good demand Forecasting Seasonal forecasts for every item at every location

A target for every item

Model stock, reorder point and safety stock are worked out from the forecast, the lead time and the service level each item deserves, so A items are protected and slow sellers are not overstocked.

Action lists, not reports

Stock-outs, items about to run out, excess, slow movers, overdue purchase orders and suggested orders and transfers, each in its own list, ready to act on.

Current every day

Stock, sales, open orders, purchase orders and recipes are read from your ERP twice a day and everything is recalculated, so the numbers are never last month's.

Everything you need to plan stock, in one place

One platform that turns the stock, sales and orders already in your ERP into targets, exceptions and suggestions, recalculated every day.

Move stock before you buy more of it

  • Transfers from your production or central warehouse first, then from other depots
  • Lines that cannot be covered, so you know what to make or buy
  • The value of every transfer and every uncovered line
  • Press any line to see the item at every location
