G2 Customer Reviews
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 integration is incredible and has streamlined tasks within our business ten fold.”
The problem is not just deciding what each store needs. The problem is making those decisions from data and workflows the business actually trusts.
When replenishment becomes firefighting
The problem
Why this happens
Replenishment depends on three things working together: stock truth, movement control and repeatable rules.
- if store stock is not trusted, replenishment decisions are weak
- if transfers are unreliable, replenishment outcomes are unreliable
- if spreadsheets are doing the thinking, the process does not scale
What breaks at scale
- more stores means more handoffs and more timing pressure
- manual chasing expands quickly
- availability gets worse even when stock exists somewhere in the network
What people try first and why it fails
Manual store requests
This creates a reactive model rather than a controlled one.
Spreadsheet-led replenishment
Useful for visibility, but not strong enough as live operational control.
Hold more stock everywhere
This can reduce some stockouts, but usually creates overstock and slower stock turns.
What actually works
- store and warehouse inventory truth
- minimum and maximum logic where appropriate
- replenishment triggers
- transfer generation and execution
- receipt control and exception visibility
How Stok.ly solves it
Stok.ly links inventory, replenishment and movement control behind Shopify so the retail network can be run with more discipline.

- minimum / maximum stock support
- replenishment triggers
- transfer generation
- warehouse-to-store movement control
- receipt discrepancy visibility
Example scenario
- location stock is visible more clearly

Comparison matrix
| Approach | What happens in practice | Likely outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Manual store requests | The loudest need often gets handled first. | Reactive replenishment and missed sales. |
| Spreadsheet-led replenishment | Planning happens outside the live system. | Slow decisions and low trust. |
| Stok.ly replenishment model | Need, stock truth and movement control work together. | Better availability and less firefighting. |

Capterra customer review:
Stok.ly revolutionised our inventory management. before stok.ly we didn’t have real control, but these days, all the team work from the same system and our inventory is accurate. goods in is quick with handhelds and our shopify is always up to date. we probably save 1 employee having stok.ly so it pays for itself

What improves replenishment most?
A system-led process linking store need, warehouse availability, movement control and receipt discipline.
