Netstock introduces Container Builder for inventory planning

(PresseBox) Netstock, a provider of software solutions for inventory and demand planning, has expanded its platform with a new module called Container Builder. This module enables companies to automatically convert order proposals into container-ready supplier orders. The introduction of the Container Builder comes against the backdrop of rising freight costs and increasing uncertainties in global supply chains, which necessitate more precise planning of container utilization.

Optimization of Container Utilization

In many companies, orders are planned according to demand; however, the available container capacity is often not adequately considered. This can lead to unnecessary transportation costs, unused cargo space, and additional deliveries. Netstock’s Container Builder addresses this issue by connecting inventory planning with logistical execution in a seamless process. The solution takes into account various parameters such as volume, weight, and available container capacities, and automatically calculates how items can be efficiently distributed across containers. This aims to reduce transportation costs and improve container utilization.

Additionally, the module allows planning teams to manage orders based on individually defined priorities. This can contribute, for example, to improving margins or reducing excess inventory.

Expansion of the Platform for Data-Driven Decisions

With the introduction of the Container Builder, Netstock continues its strategy to enhance the platform for modern inventory and demand planning. The solution helps companies to forecast demand more accurately, optimize inventory, and make data-driven decisions. Complementary features based on artificial intelligence assist in identifying optimization potentials early and continuously improving the supply chain.
