Five Star Reviews on G2
What do you like best about Stok.ly – Inventory-Centric Cloud ERP?
We have gone from a pen and paper warehouse to a completely digital system that has streamlined our business immensely. The customer support has been superb since the day we onboarded with Stok.ly and we continue to build a great relationship with the team.
We use Stok.ly daily in our warehouse and have found a number of features to now be invaluable. The ease of eCommerce integration is incredible and has streamlined tasks within our business ten fold.
Overview
Peoplevox is commonly evaluated when the primary problem is ecommerce fulfilment and warehouse execution: picking accuracy, throughput, packing consistency, and dispatch workflows. WMS-first platforms can be a strong fit when warehouse execution is the
dominant constraint and the rest of the business is stable in other systems.
As operations scale, the constraint often shifts from “can we pick and ship?” to “can we control the operation end-to-end?”:Creating and pre-allocation of sales orders, routing rules, inventory reservations, multi-location fulfilment governance, replenishment policy and one stock truth across the entire business.
That is the gap Stok.ly is designed to fill: an Order Management System for B2C and B2B, PIM, Manufacturing, inventory-centric Cloud ERP where orders are the control layer and inventory, warehouse execution and purchasing are integrated in real time.
Stok.ly positioning (OMS-led, inventory-centric Cloud ERP)
Stok.ly is:
- OMS-led — orders drive allocation, routing, reservations, fulfilment priorities and exceptions
- Inventory-centric — one stock truth across channels and locations
- Operational ERP — warehouse execution and purchasing are first-class (not bolt-ons)
- Cloud-native & integration-friendly — connects to ecommerce, POS, marketplaces and accounting while remaining the operational source of truth
- AI-assisted — embedded AI to reduce manual work and support forecasting/purchasing/insight (human-controlled)

What is Peoplevox?
Peoplevox is commonly positioned as a warehouse management system (WMS) designed for ecommerce fulfilment operations that need
structured warehouse workflows and integration to sales channels and couriers.
It is typically chosen when the immediate priority is warehouse throughput and fulfilment control rather than managing the full operational system (orders, inventory truth, warehouse execution, purchasing and replenishment) under one control layer.
Important: capabilities vary by configuration, integrations, and operating model. Always validate your real workflow in a demo.
What is Stok.ly?
Stok.ly is an OMS-led, inventory-centric Cloud ERP built for scaling multi-channel retail, wholesale and light manufacturing operations. It is designed around operational flow, not finance.
What Stok.ly does best (operator outcomes)
- Order control: allocation, reservations, routing, fulfilment priorities and exceptions
- Inventory accuracy: one stock truth across channels/locations with audit trails
- Warehouse execution: goods in, putaway, pick, pack, dispatch, returns, stock takes (barcode-led)
- Purchasing & replenishment: rules-driven workflows + AI-assisted planning
- Multi-location operations: transfers and stock balancing as first-class workflows
- B2C + B2B: one operational platform for hybrid sales models
- Integration-friendly: ecommerce (Shopify/Magento/WooCommerce), marketplaces, POS, couriers and accounting
If 3 of the below are true, you’re in Stok.ly’s core offering:
- You need order-driven operational control (pre-allocation, automated routing, priorities, exceptions).
- You’re running multi-channel (ecommerce, marketplaces, wholesale, POS) and it feels like order chaos.
- You run multiple locations (warehouses/stores) and need one real-time stock truth/strong> across locations and channels
- Warehouse throughput and accuracy matter: you want barcode-led execution end-to-end.
- Purchasing and replenishment are still spreadsheet-led or manual tasks
- You want logic based rules + AI-assisted planning to streamline and save your team time.
Side-by-side comparison
This comparison focuses on the decision point your ICP hits: the shift from a WMS-first tool to an operational ERP
that controls orders, inventory, warehouse execution and purchasing as one system.
| Capability | Peoplevox (WMS-first focus) | Stok.ly (OMS-led operational ERP focus) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary category | Warehouse Management System (WMS) for fulfilment operations | OMS-led, inventory-centric Cloud ERP |
| Control layer | Warehouse execution is typically the centre of gravity | Orders are the control layer: allocation, reservations, routing, priorities, exceptions |
| Product Information Management | No | Control Product & Pricing: manage products, listing and editing from one dashboard |
| Inventory truth | Inventory synced via integrations (validate multi-location accuracy model) | One stock truth across channels/locations with reservations, transfers and balancing |
| Warehouse execution | Core capability (pick/pack/dispatch workflows) | Core capability plus end-to-end stock movement governance (goods in → returns) with barcode-led workflows |
| Purchasing & replenishment | Often handled in separate ERP/accounting systems or spreadsheets | First-class workflows: purchasing and replenishment integrated with order demand and inventory truth |
| B2B / wholesale operations | Varies by configuration (validate) | First-class: B2C + B2B hybrid operations in one system |
| Manufacturing | No | Seamless Manufacturing: Manage BOMs, raw materials and manufacture finished goods |
| Multi-location control | Varies (validate transfers/balancing governance) | Native: transfers and stock balancing built in |
| AI-assisted planning | Varies | Embedded AI: forecasting, purchasing, stock balancing, operational insight (human-controlled) |
Architectural difference: WMS-first vs operational control
When Peoplevox is enough
If the primary constraint is warehouse fulfilment throughput and accuracy, and you are happy running order control, inventory policy, replenishment and finance workflows elsewhere, a WMS-first tool can be a good fit.
When Stok.ly is the better step
If the primary constraint is operational control at scale—allocations, reservations, routing decisions, multi-location fulfilment, replenishment policy, stock balancing, and hybrid B2C/B2B complexity—then a WMS-first tool becomes another component to integrate.
Stok.ly is designed to replace that fragmented model: one operational system where orders control execution and inventory stays accurate across the entire operation in real time.
Where Stok.ly wins for scale-ups (ICP benefits)
- End-to-end operational control: order-driven allocation/routing/reservations/priorities/exceptions reduce firefighting.
- Inventory accuracy at scale: one stock truth across channels/locations with audit trails and reservations.
- Warehouse execution plus governance: scanning and audit trails connect warehouse work to the control layer.
- Replenishment automation: rules + AI reduce spreadsheet planning and reactive purchasing.
- Hybrid B2C + B2B support: one operational platform for multiple sales models.
- Integration mindset: Stok.ly remains the operational source of truth while integrating into ecommerce, POS and accounting.
