Netstock alternative for Shopify and DTC brands

The honest version first: Netstock is a serious tool with 2,400+ customers, built for operations that run on an ERP: NetSuite, SAP Business One, Dynamics, Acumatica, Sage. If that's you, and you have a supply chain function rather than a founder doing reorders on a Tuesday night, Netstock belongs on your shortlist and this page isn't going to pretend otherwise.

But a lot of the people searching "netstock" are Shopify and DTC brand operators who've heard the name, and for them the fit questions come first.

Three fit checks before the demo call

What a Shopify brand should run instead

For pure inventory planning at Shopify scale: Prediko (from $49 a month, scaling with GMV) or Fabrikator (from $79 a month, strong on backorders). Both are covered honestly in our inventory planning comparison.

And the gap none of them fill, Netstock included at its own altitude: none of these tools can see your bank. Every planner sizes the demand-correct order; none of them checks it against payroll, tax and the ad budget leaving the same account. Cushion is built at exactly that join: sales forecast drives the reorder plan, and both sit against your live cash position from your bank and books. £299 a month flat, 14 days free, live the same day.
