The 30-second answer
Netstock is the bigger, more established planning tool: it sits on top of your ERP, connects to more than 60 of them, and has a polished standard product with a published 6 to 10 week onboarding. Convexity is smaller and younger and works more like a boutique: besides forecasting and replenishment it runs orders, sales channels and purchase orders, puts AI to work on the routine buying, and our team adapts it to how you work. Pick Netstock for a proven, standard planning layer on your ERP; pick Convexity for an autonomous purchasing manager and a team that builds around your process.

An autonomous purchasing manager, not another tool
Netstock recommends orders for a planner to review and send to the ERP. Convexity’s inventory optimization works like an autonomous purchasing manager: every week it re-forecasts each SKU from its own sales history, resets reorder points and safety stock, and drafts purchase orders by vendor that respect lead times, minimums and case packs, with the reasoning shown. Your buyer reviews the exceptions and approves; the routine work is already done.
Can Convexity run alongside Netstock?
There is no need to. Convexity covers the forecasting and replenishment Netstock does and connects to your ERP directly, so teams move planning into Convexity and keep their ERP.
