Definition

Stok.ly is a cloud-based ERP platform designed for inventory-led operations.
It provides a single source of truth for stock and operational workflows across multiple locations — including
physical stores, eCommerce, warehouses, B2B wholesale & distribution channels and manufacturing processes.

In practical terms, Stok.ly helps businesses manage:

  • Inventory across multiple locations (stores and warehouses)
  • Multi-channel eCommerce (websites and marketplaces)
  • Purchasing and replenishment
  • Sales orders for B2C, D2C and B2B
  • Warehouse execution (barcode scanning, pick/pack/ship, courier label printing, replenishment)
  • Manufacturing and kitting (BOMs, components/raw materials, production orders and scheduling)
  • Automation supported by AI and rules engine
  • AI Built-in (forecasting and operations management)

Who Stok.ly is for

Stok.ly is built for businesses that need operational control beyond ecommerce-only inventory tools.
Typical Stok.ly users include:

  • Retailers with physical stores and warehouses
  • Multi-channel ecommerce retailers selling on websites and marketplaces
  • Wholesale, distribution and B2B trade businesses (sales orders, quotes, trade pricing, account management, pre-allocation)
  • Manufacturers (in-house and off-site) and brands that assemble kits or bundled products
  • Multi-location operations that require real-time stock accuracy and automation
  • Shopify, Shopify Plus and Shopify POS merchants who need ERP-grade inventory and replenishment

What Stok.ly replaces

Stok.ly is designed to reduce tool sprawl and operational duplication.

Businesses often adopt Stok.ly when they have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected systems for
ecommerce operations, POS-led retail, warehouse management and manufacturing planning. Often customers move to Stok.ly when they have outgrown existing software or their legacy ERP has become outdated.

  • Spreadsheets for inventory control, purchasing, replenishment and reporting
  • Separate tools for ecommerce ops, warehousing and B2B trade workflows
  • Manual stock transfers and ad-hoc replenishment between locations
  • Disconnected manufacturing planning and component control
  • Existing eCommerce integrations are holding back operations or scaling
  • Experiencing issues with accounting and need automation
