eTurns TrackStock vs Inventory Planner

eTurns TrackStock is a point-of-use inventory app for vendor-managed and customer-managed stock in stockrooms and service trucks. Its mobile app uses QR and barcode scans for counts, orders, and usage tracking, then sends replenishment orders to suppliers. A Min/Max Tuning Dashboard uses usage to recommend inventory levels and show potential savings. TrackStock can exchange data through APIs, XML, EDI, or custom files; named integrations include QuickBooks, Epicor P21, Oracle, Epicor Eclipse, SAP, and Microsoft. It also supports SensorBins, RFID, and electronic shelf labels, with hardware charged separately. Plans include reports, and higher tiers add scheduled email alerts and customizable reporting; the Manage plan includes work orders with parts, labor, signatures, and image capture. The vendor describes TrackStock as SOC 2 Type 2 certified and hosted on AWS. Mobile requirements are Android 7 or later and iOS/iPadOS 15.4 or later; the web app works in a browser. Plans start at $40 a month, billed semi-annually, and a free 30-day trial is available.

Inventory Planner helps retailers, ecommerce brands, wholesalers, and discrete manufacturers forecast demand and decide what inventory to purchase. Its configurable models cover seasonal, non-seasonal, retail, and wholesale products, with automatic adjustments to sales patterns. For new products, forecasts can use sales data from similar items. Purchasing features include supplier management, minimum order quantities, and open-to-buy budgeting. The service recommends purchases and warehouse transfers across multiple locations, with a customizable forecast horizon and no stated SKU limit. Native integrations include Shopify, BigCommerce, Amazon, eBay, Brightpearl, Cin7, QuickBooks, and other sales, management, fulfillment, and accounting systems. Beta Stock Orders and Reports APIs provide real-time account data, but cannot accept product or variant data. It runs on the web and through an API. Pricing is on request; guided implementation and training are required.
