- Your key inventory challenges
- Specific and top-level goals and objectives
- Any unique system and data requirements
- Any unique business requirements
- Expectation-setting for the Date Refinement and 3-week training phases

What our customers are saying about onboarding & support
The training made the complex field of inventory management very simple to understand. Loved that! The 3 pieces of training were also structured really well to build on each other to get to a place where all the necessary metrics are in place. The learning tasks were helpful to familiarize us with the systems. Thanks, Netstock team!
Our onboarding process has been excellent every step of the way. Netstock is 100% transparent in everything they do
I have worked on numerous platforms, plug-ins, and some personally constructed systems, and haven’t come across anything so cleverly compiled with such a phenomenal balance between the detail and the “big picture”. Add the ease of onboarding and navigation, and the efficiencies created, and it’s a no-brainer
