Inventory can be your greatest strength or your biggest weakness. If stock is tied up in the wrong places, customers are left waiting, and capital is wasted. If you’re constantly fire-fighting shortages or drowning in excess, you’re not running your business, you’re just reacting.
AGR’s stock management system is built to change that. Designed for wholesalers and distributors, it helps you optimise inventory levels, automate replenishment, and forecast demand with confidence. With AGR, you can reduce stockouts, cut costs, and gain total visibility across your supply chain.
What is stock management?
Stock management is more than just counting goods on shelves. It’s the process of planning, controlling, and optimising inventory so the right products are available at the right time, in the right place, and at the right cost.
Done well, stock management ensures:
- Customers get what they want without delays
- Capital isn’t wasted on overstocking
- Operations run smoothly across suppliers, warehouses, and sales channels
Traditionally, businesses rely on manual spreadsheets or basic ERP functions. But as inventories grow more complex, these methods can’t keep up. AGR’s stock management system is designed to close that gap.
Why choose AGR’s stock management system?
Traditional stock control tools can track what you have today, but they don’t help you prepare for tomorrow. AGR takes a smarter approach by connecting your data, automating key processes, and equipping you with actionable insights.
- Smarter demand forecasting – Plan accurately using your sales history, seasonality, and supplier data.
- Automated replenishment – Replace guesswork with rules-based ordering that ensures the right products arrive on time.
- Multi-location warehouse management – Track and balance stock across warehouses, stores, and regions.
- ERP and system integrations – AGR plugs directly into your ERP, ecommerce, and finance tools. No double handling.
- Built for scale – Whether you’re managing thousands of SKUs or dozens of suppliers, AGR grows with you.

How AGR’s features work together
Inventory optimisation and order management
AGR identifies the right stock levels for each SKU across your business. By considering demand variability, lead times, and service targets, it helps you strike the balance between too much and too little.
Automated ordering
No more manual calculations or reactive ordering. AGR generates accurate purchase orders that align with your service-level goals and supplier constraints.
Demand planning & forecasting
AGR’s forecasting engine combines historical sales, supplier performance, and seasonal factors to predict demand more accurately. Better forecasting leads directly to smarter ordering and stronger financial performance.
Insights & reports
From executive dashboards to SKU-level analysis, AGR gives you clarity. Reports cover service levels, stock health, supplier lead times, and more. And because the system updates in real time, you’re never making decisions based on last month’s numbers.
Integrations
AGR integrates with your ERP, ecommerce, and finance systems, removing silos and manual data entry. Whether you run NetSuite, Sage, or Microsoft Dynamics, AGR slots in to enhance (not replace) your existing stack.
AGR vs ERP: Closing the supply chain gaps
ERP systems are powerful for finance and operations, but they rarely provide the depth of forecasting, optimisation, and automation needed for inventory control. That’s where AGR comes in.
| Feature / Capability | Standard ERP | AGR Stock Management System |
| Real-time stock visibility | Basic reporting, often delayed | Live, SKU-level tracking across all warehouses |
| Demand forecasting | Limited or manual | AI-driven forecasting with seasonality, promotions, and supplier data factored in |
| Automated replenishment | Manual reorder points | Automated, rules-based ordering aligned to service levels |
| Inventory optimisation | Rarely included | Balances demand, lead times, and service targets to avoid stockouts & overstocks |
| Supplier lead time analysis | Not typically available | Built-in tracking and reporting to spot delays early |
| Advanced analytics & reporting | Generic financial focus | Inventory-specific dashboards: service levels, stock health, working capital |
| Multi-location management | Often complex or add-on | Designed for wholesalers and distributors with multiple sites |
| Ease of integration | Requires costly customisation | Connects directly with ERP, ecommerce, and finance systems |
Together, AGR and your ERP give you a complete picture of operations and inventory. AGR provides the intelligence and automation to keep stock levels balanced, while your ERP continues to handle the financial and transactional backbone.
AGR vs spreadsheets: Moving beyond manual stock control
For small businesses, spreadsheets may feel like a simple solution for stock management. But as soon as you’re juggling multiple suppliers, SKUs, or locations, they start to show cracks. Spreadsheets weren’t built for modern supply chains, and they leave too much room for error. AGR replaces fragile, manual processes with automation, forecasting, and real-time visibility.
| Feature / Capability | Spreadsheets | AGR Stock Management System |
| Ease of use | Familiar but manual; time-consuming data entry | Intuitive dashboards; automated processes |
| Error risk | High – version control issues, copy-paste errors | Low – single source of truth with live data |
| Forecasting & planning | Limited to formulas and assumptions | AI-driven forecasting with seasonality & supplier data |
| Replenishment | Manual calculation of reorder points | Automated, rules-based ordering aligned with service levels |
| Visibility across locations | Difficult to manage multi-site data | Real-time tracking across warehouses, regions, and SKUs |
| Collaboration | Prone to duplication and conflicting versions | Cloud-based, secure, accessible to teams simultaneously |
| Scalability | Quickly becomes unmanageable with growth | Built to handle thousands of SKUs and suppliers |
Bottom line: Spreadsheets keep you busy; AGR keeps you in control. Businesses that switch to AGR cut wasted time, reduce costly mistakes, and gain the visibility needed to grow.
