Unleashed + StockTrim Integration

StockTrim is an inventory forecasting and demand planning platform built for small and medium-sized businesses. Founded in New Zealand in 2017 by software engineer Paul Simpson, StockTrim uses a proprietary machine learning algorithm to analyse your historical sales data and predict future stock requirements, then generates optimal purchase order plans so you know exactly what to order, how much, and when. It's designed for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers who want to move beyond spreadsheet-based inventory planning without replacing their existing inventory management system. 

StockTrim was designed by NZ software engineer Paul Simpson, who recognised that inventory planning in most businesses was a manual, error-prone process, people painstakingly pulling up sales reports or making guesswork decisions. He saw a market opportunity for affordable, AI-driven forecasting software that would plug into existing inventory management systems and solve the problem of poor stock-buying decisions. Co-founder Dom Sutton joined in 2018, bringing first-hand experience as a former importer and wholesaler who had seen the cost of slow-moving and obsolete stock (SLOB stock) first-hand. 

StockTrim is designed for SMBs in the $2M–$30M annual turnover range, specifically manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. It's particularly well-suited to businesses with complex inventory requirements: variable lead times, multi-location stock, bill of materials for manufacturing, seasonal demand patterns, and large SKU counts (up to 50,000 SKUs supported). StockTrim is used globally, with a strong base in New Zealand, Australia, and other English-speaking markets. 

StockTrim integrates natively with Unleashed, Cin7, Shopify, Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks Online, WooCommerce, Amazon Seller, BigCommerce, Fishbowl, inFlow, Katana, Lightspeed, NetSuite, Odoo, and 20+ others. If your system isn't on the list, StockTrim also offers API connectivity. This makes it a flexible forecasting layer that works alongside whichever inventory or accounting system you use. 

Yes. StockTrim supports multi-level bills of materials, which is particularly valuable for manufacturers using Unleashed. You can define the components and ingredients that go into each finished product, and StockTrim will forecast demand for finished goods and generate order recommendations for the underlying components and raw materials. This gives manufacturers a complete view of what to produce and what to purchase to meet forecasted demand. 

Yes. StockTrim includes a new product forecasting feature that allows you to predict demand for products without sales history using comparable product data or manual demand inputs. This is useful when launching new SKUs into Unleashed and wanting to set initial stock levels based on informed estimates rather than guesswork. 

StockTrim's algorithm analyses overall, seasonal, and weekly inventory trends for each SKU. It identifies seasonal patterns in your Unleashed sales history and factors them into forward demand forecasts, so your replenishment recommendations account for peak and quiet periods rather than applying a flat average. This is particularly valuable for businesses with strong seasonal demand (food and beverage, apparel, garden products, etc.). 

You can configure lead times per supplier in StockTrim, and the system factors those lead times into every replenishment recommendation. This means your order timing recommendations account for how long it actually takes to receive stock from each supplier, not a generic average which is critical for avoiding stockouts when lead times vary.
