Tru-Stock AI - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Tru-Stock AI sits on top of your existing inventory system and tells you what to reorder, what to liquidate, and what to leave alone. It is not a system of record and does not replace one.

How the classification works. Every item is evaluated nightly against six signals: demand forecast, sales history depth, on-order cover, ABC and XYZ class, variant-group attribution, and operator override. Each item resolves to one of five states — healthy, at risk, overstock, dead stock, or out of stock — and every verdict exposes the rule that produced it along with the inputs it consumed. There is no unexplained score.

The maths. Safety stock uses King's formula, which prices in lead-time variability rather than assuming a fixed lead time. Reorder points derive from lead times measured out of your own purchase order receipt history, recalculated as new receipts land. Where a lead time has never been observed for a vendor, the system reports it as unknown rather than substituting a default. Demand forecasts are generated weekly per item.

Distribution-specific behaviour. Multi-vendor variant rollup pools coverage across the same part carried from several suppliers, so stock is not double-counted and you are not told to reorder something you already hold under another brand. Purchase orders group by vendor and respect supplier minimums. Dead stock and excess are modelled as distinct conditions rather than a single overstock bucket.

Data in. Spreadsheet import from any system, or direct connection to QuickBooks Online (Plus or Advanced) and inFlow. Column auto-detection means no manual field mapping. A developer API is available and documented. Self-serve onboarding completes in under 24 hours with no implementation project.

Security and data handling. Encryption at rest and in transit. Each account is fully isolated. Your data is never used to train models for other customers. United States company, United States hosted data.

Included free with no signup: calculators for reorder point, safety stock, economic order quantity, carrying cost, inventory turnover, and lead time. A published sample analysis of a real 120-item distributor file is downloadable so you can re-run our conclusions against our own arithmetic.

Support. Email on every plan, plus an assistant that queries your live inventory and can explain a recommendation, retrieve vendor history, or draft a purchase order for review. Professional adds priority response and white-glove onboarding. Growth adds a dedicated onboarding specialist. United States team, Monday to Friday, 24-hour response.
