It offers comprehensive demand planning, replenishment, and S&OP capabilities.
Tru-Stock AI is built for distributors who want powerful AI forecasting without the ERP dependency, long implementation timelines, or enterprise pricing.
Tru-Stock works standalone with CSV uploads. No integration project, no ERP license, no IT team required. Upload your sales history and inventory data, and you have AI forecasting in minutes — not months.
Tru-Stock AI pricing is published: $349/mo Starter, $899/mo Pro, and custom Enterprise pricing. No surprises. Start with a free trial and upgrade when ready.
Built from the ground up with GPT-4o integration for forecasting, anomaly detection, and natural-language inventory insights. Not a statistical engine with AI bolted on — AI is the core.

If you already run an ERP and want a deeply integrated planning layer, Netstock is worth evaluating. If you want AI-powered inventory intelligence without ERP dependency, enterprise pricing, or months of implementation — Tru-Stock AI gets you there faster and at a lower cost.
