The Problem: Answers That Arrive After the Decision Is Already Made
Most ERP reporting works the same way: ask a question, wait for a report, then do the work of turning that report into a decision. The gap between the question and the answer is where the damage happens — a stock-out that’s already cost a sale, a margin that’s already eroded, a decision made a week later than it needed to be.
“It’s a very big difference — we used to wait for things to be updated on a weekly basis before we could decide on things versus having it at our fingertips, when we need it.”
— Operations Lead, moving from weekly spreadsheet reporting, to on demand, pre-calculated data & reporting
A Data Lake, Not a Live Calculation
Every SKU at every location in a Stok.ly account has its key figures pre-computed overnight — stock position, sales velocity, days of cover, stockout risk, gross margin and GMROII — roughly 100 fields per SKU per location, retained for 365 days. When you ask a question, the AI reads figures that already exist. It does not calculate under pressure inside a conversation and hope the arithmetic holds.
Ask a Question. Get an Answer. Let It Act.
AI Pro works on an analyse-recommend-act pattern. Ask it to show stock-out risk over the next 30 days and it queries the pre-calculated layer instantly. Where the next step is clear, it can take it — creating the purchase order, raising the transfer, adjusting the price — under the same permission and approval controls that already govern that action in Stok.ly.
“Show me the sales, the sell-through rates, and the stock-out risk for these items at this location for the next 30 days.”
Trust your stock. Transfer with confidence. Control orders. Fulfill every day like clockwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Stok.ly AI Pro?
The AI layer built into Stok.ly’s order management and inventory ERP. It queries any data in the platform in plain English, analyses it, and can execute the resulting action.
Can it actually create purchase orders and transfers, or just tell me what to do?
Both. It can answer a question the way a report would, or carry out the action directly, under the same approval controls already in place for that action type.
How is this different from other ERPs that mention AI?
Most competitor AI in this space stops at forecasting — it predicts, but cannot query arbitrary data or execute an action. AI Pro analyses, recommends and acts in one workflow, and can be trained on business-specific rules.
Can we train it on how our business specifically operates?
Yes, through a knowledge base of training documents that teach it your purchasing, forecasting and operational rules.
Is AI Pro included in our subscription?
AI Pro is priced on usage — users and monthly query volume. Speak to your account manager for current rates.
