Microsoft AppSource (now Microsoft Marketplace) is a premier digital marketplace that showcases business applications and services built by industry-leading software providers. By securing a spot on this platform, Netstock has positioned itself to reach a vast network of potential customers who rely on Microsoft’s ecosystem for their business operations.

The AppSource listing includes Netstock’s flagship products:

  1. Predictor IA (Inventory Advisor)
  2. Predictor IBP (Integrated Business Planning)

These solutions are now directly accessible to users of Microsoft Business Central ERP, enhancing the integration capabilities for businesses already utilizing Microsoft’s enterprise resource planning software.

Enhanced integration and accessibility

Netstock’s certified connectors for Microsoft Business Central ERP allow businesses to seamlessly optimize their demand and supply planning processes within their existing Microsoft environment. This integration is particularly valuable for companies looking to streamline their operations without significant disruptions to their current systems.

Don Martin, Senior Vice President of Partnerships at Netstock, emphasized the importance of this development: “Joining the AppSource program is a significant milestone for Netstock and our partners. This certification endorses the quality and reliability of our solutions and highlights our commitment to helping Microsoft partners expand their offerings, enhance credibility, and seize new market opportunities.”

Benefits for Microsoft users

For Microsoft Business Central customers, the integration of Netstock’s solutions offers several key advantages:

  1. Dynamic forecasting capabilities.
  2. Cohesive sales and operations processes.
  3. Inventory optimization through reduction of excess stock.
  4. Quicker order placements.

These features provide businesses with the agility and confidence needed to navigate complex supply chain challenges effectively.

Rigorous vetting process

It’s worth noting that the company’s listing on AppSource is not just a mere formality. Microsoft employs a stringent vetting process for all applications listed on its marketplace. This rigorous evaluation ensures that only high-quality, reliable solutions make it to the platform, thereby maintaining the trust and confidence of Microsoft’s user base.

Marketplace rewards and growth opportunities

By listing on AppSource, Netstock now has access to Microsoft’s Marketplace Rewards program. This program offers a range of benefits designed to support partners at various stages of growth, from initial awareness activities to help acquire first customers, to more advanced benefits as sales through the marketplace increase.

Some of the potential benefits include:

  • Marketing and sales support.
  • Increased visibility through Microsoft’s channels.
  • Access to Microsoft’s global customer base.
  • Opportunities for co-sell partnerships with Microsoft’s sales teams.
