Netstock launched Container Builder, a new module that transforms Netstock order recommendations into container-optimized shipments.
Container Builder helps businesses bridge the gap between inventory planning and real-world shipping constraints by building around container limits, such as volume, weight, and capacity, before orders are placed.
"In smaller businesses with leaner teams, the person placing orders is often also managing forecasts, supplier relationships, and spend. As supply chains become more complex and margins remain under pressure, teams have less time and room for inefficiency," says Ryan Bavery, VP of product management at Netstock. "Container Builder shortens the time it takes to optimize Netstock's inventory recommendations from hours to minutes. It gives planners room to be more strategic with each order, so the person juggling multiple priorities has the capacity to address the current business needs with every order."
Key takeaways:
· Container Builder automates that final stage by packing items into optimized containers and applying different optimization strategies based on business goals, whether that means maximizing margin, minimizing excess inventory, improving product mix, or making the best use of available container space.
· Users maintain full control and can refine allocations before finalizing. Once ready, orders can be exported as a single shipment or split by container based on ERP requirements.
