eTurns TrackStock

eTurns TrackStock is point-of-use inventory software for stockrooms and service vehicles. It is best suited to distributors and operational teams managing recurring supplies across those settings. Choose it for replenishment workflows that extend from barcode counts to work orders and inventory tuning; look elsewhere if you need a free plan or want to avoid a six-month billing commitment.

Overview

TrackStock supports both vendor-managed and customer-managed inventory. Its mobile app lets staff record counts, orders and usage, and send replenishment orders to suppliers. Reorder-point automation and multi-location planning make it a more targeted choice for keeping supplies available across stockrooms and vehicles than a basic item-counting tool.

Integration options include APIs, XML, EDI and custom files, with named integrations for QuickBooks, Epicor P21, Oracle, Epicor Eclipse, SAP and Microsoft. The product is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and hosted on AWS; eTurns encrypts data transmissions and certain information at rest.

Key features

Scanning and replenishment

The Android and iOS app supports QR and barcode counts, orders and usage tracking. The Replenish tier adds barcode ordering and cycle counts with min/max replenishment, making it a reasonable starting point for teams focused on routine restocking. Manage Lite adds usage tracking and min/max auto-replenishment after usage, plus consignment inventory and scheduled email alerts.

Workflows and inventory tuning

Manage adds work orders with parts, labor, signatures and image capture, alongside transfers, returns, project spend limits and customizable reports. That makes it more appropriate for teams coordinating service work as well as stock; teams that only need ordering may not benefit enough to justify the higher price.

Optimize adds the Min/Max Tuning Dashboard, which uses inventory usage to recommend stock levels and show potential savings. It also includes asset maintenance, tool tracking, requisitions and kitting. SensorBins, RFID and electronic shelf labels are supported, but require additional hardware investment: SensorBins cost around $96 per item, while RFID tower and sensor costs vary by use case.

Reports are included across plans, with higher tiers adding scheduled email alerts and customizable reporting. TrackStock supports up to 90 reports.

Pricing

There is no free plan. Each plan below is priced per month and billed semi-annually, so the monthly figure comes with a six-month billing commitment. Hardware costs extra.

Replenish is the lowest-cost fit for simple barcode ordering and cycle counts, and its unlimited users, items and suppliers avoid per-seat and item caps. It gives up the usage tracking and automated replenishment after usage in Manage Lite. Manage Lite is the more practical step up for teams that want those workflows; Manage suits operations that need work orders and advanced reporting, while Optimize is for teams that can use tuning and asset tools enough to support its higher price. Stockroom Manage Lite and the upper stockroom tiers cost considerably more than their vehicle counterparts.

A free 30-day trial includes setup, training and phone support. Free in-app training and email support are also offered, with optional paid phone support. No free plan is available.

Platforms

TrackStock is available on Android, iOS and the web. The mobile app requires Android 7 or above, or iOS/iPadOS 15.4 or above; the web app works in any browser.

Who it's for

eTurns identifies industrial distributors and customers such as contractors, MRO operations, medical facilities and EMS facilities as users. TrackStock is most compelling where stock is consumed at a point of use and teams need replenishment to follow counts or usage. It is less suited to buyers seeking a free entry tier or an inventory tool without additional hardware costs for sensor-based tracking.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Unlimited users, items and suppliers on Replenish make the entry plan workable for teams with broad catalogs or many staff.
• Plans scale from barcode counts and replenishment to work orders, tuning and asset workflows, so buyers can match features to stockroom or vehicle operations.
• API, XML, EDI and custom-file communication, plus named accounting and ERP integrations, support connections to varied business systems.
• A 30-day trial includes setup, training and phone support, giving teams a supported way to assess fit.

Cons

• Semi-annual billing makes the monthly prices a six-month commitment rather than a month-to-month option.
• Stockroom pricing rises sharply from $40 a month for Replenish to $399 a month for Optimize.
• SensorBins, RFID and electronic shelf labels add hardware costs on top of the software subscription.
• There is no free plan for teams that need an ongoing no-cost option.

Alternatives

GMDH Streamline is worth considering if a free plan and desktop or self-hosted platform options matter: its Free Edition supports up to US$ 1M in annual revenue, 1,000 planning items and 10,000 annual sales quantity.

Stockagile Replenishment may suit a small retail operation looking for a lower-cost starting point: its Starter plan is €49 a month for one store, one user and one register, with sales capped at €10,000/month.

Blue Ridge Replenishment Optimization is another paid, web-based option for buyers seeking replenishment optimization.

Retalon Price Management and Optimization is a paid, web-based alternative for buyers considering price management and optimization.

Flowlity offers a no-long-term-commitment Lite subscription at €249 a month for up to 5,000 SKUs, but it relies on CSV upload and excludes ERP integration.

Optiply offers a €79 a month Lite plan capped at 1,000 sales orders per month and 1,000 SKUs, a possible alternative for buyers with needs within those limits.

Prediko has a $49 a month Starter plan for stores up to $100K in revenue; it may fit a smaller store within that revenue range.

OrderBee starts at €49 a month, billed monthly excluding 21% VAT, for up to 10 SKUs and one forecast plan, with Shopify sales sync and email support.

Verdict

TrackStock is a strong fit for distributors and service operations that need mobile point-of-use counts tied to replenishment, with higher tiers available for work orders and stock optimization. Its strongest reason to choose it is that workflow range across stockrooms and vehicles; its clearest reason to look elsewhere is the semi-annual commitment plus extra hardware expense.
