Business Central is your ERP. Stokk is the brain on top.
Business Central runs reorder points and requisition worksheets, and for steady-demand stock that’s enough. Specialty retail isn’t steady, promotions, seasonality and per-store demand break rule-based reordering. Stokk reads from BC, forecasts and decides overnight, and writes the orders back through the connector.
