Netstock’s Opportunity Engine acts as a digital assistant for inventory planners, delivering a new recommendation every 90 seconds to its 2,400+ customers. By analyzing historical data and customer behavior, the AI tool identifies urgent risks, such as surplus stock or high-risk SKUs, and provides actionable suggestions. This focus on cash flow, cost reduction, and efficiency helps SMBs compete with larger enterprises. As Ara Ohanian, Netstock CEO, stated, “Tariffs, geopolitics, and unpredictable demand are today’s reality. Reaching one million AI recommendations shows how Netstock AI empowers businesses with the foresight to act sooner, avoid costly missteps, free up cash, and seize opportunities they might otherwise miss.”
For businesses like Bargreen Ellingson, a food service equipment distributor, the Opportunity Engine has streamlined complex operations across 2,000+ suppliers. The AI tool enables proactive planning, reducing reactive decision-making and maintaining service levels. Jacob Moody, CIO at Bargreen Ellingson, noted, “Someone with no training can log in and get value on day one. Netstock’s Opportunity Engine gives our team a sense of control. They know how to filter what’s useful and act quickly.” Similarly, Metalworks, a Canadian HVAC distributor, transformed its spreadsheet-driven processes into a data-led strategy, managing over 7,000 SKUs with greater efficiency. Marc Marchese, Assistant Operations Manager at Metalworks, said, “It's like a second set of eyes on your work and an extra reminder to keep the team on track and ensure we're catching things before they become problems.”
The Opportunity Engine prioritizes high-impact recommendations, helping customers achieve rapid returns on investment. Many SMBs recoup their investment within the first year, with 75% receiving opportunities valued at over $50,000. By flagging urgent supplier issues and optimizing stock levels, the tool drives significant cost savings and operational improvements. Barry Kukkuk, Netstock CTO, emphasized, “We’re giving SMBs predictive visibility that used to be reserved for enterprises. With Opportunity Engine, any team—regardless of size or resources—can harness AI to reduce waste, improve service levels, make faster decisions, and uncover opportunities that drive real growth.”
