Start with the job
Which kind of tool do you need?
Forecast-driven buying
You want to know what to order, when and how much, with reports and alerts. Planning tools: Stokrio, Fabrikatör, Prediko, Inventory Planner, Stockie.
Warehouse execution
You need bins, pick routing, packing and shipping. A WMS such as SKUSavvy is built for that; Stokrio covers the basics.
Manufacturing and ERP
You need MRP with costing or a full ERP. Katana and Cin7 go deeper; Stokrio plans raw materials from BOMs.
Multichannel listing sync
You sell on many marketplaces and need stock synced between them. Sumtracker focuses on that.

- Purchasing, alerts and 22 reports should live in one place
- You make some products and need raw materials planned from bills of materials
- You're a 3PL that wants to give each client planning in its own workspace
- You want AI assistants to work with your inventory through MCP
Choose something else if
- You need backorders and pre-orders tied to incoming POs today (Stokrio doesn't do this yet)
- You need a full WMS with carrier labels and slotting
- You need an ERP with accounting, or MRP with detailed production costing
- You sell mainly on marketplaces and need listing-level stock sync
