Question 1

How does Stoc detect when a beverage is out of stock?

Accepted Answer

Stoc uses cooler-mounted cameras and sensors to capture real-time images and stock-level data. The platform analyzes these inputs and sends immediate alerts whenever an item is missing or about to run out.

Question 2

Can Stoc differentiate between different beverage SKUs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stoc’s image-recognition algorithms are trained to recognize distinct labels and packaging. It identifies individual SKUs on the shelf so you know exactly which product is out, not just that the cooler is empty.

Question 3

What kind of notifications does Stoc provide when a stock out occurs?

Accepted Answer

Stoc sends customizable alerts via email, SMS, or within the dashboard. Each notification includes the cooler location, SKU details, and duration of the stock out—so teams can take action immediately.

Question 4

How quickly can we see ROI after installing Stoc?

Accepted Answer

Many customers report recouping the cost of Stoc within the first 30–60 days. By catching stock outs before they lead to lost sales, you prevent revenue leakage and improve overall sell-through metrics.

Question 5

Does Stoc integrate with existing sales or inventory platforms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stoc offers API integrations and webhook support to sync alerts and stock-level data with your ERP, inventory-management system, or CRM—providing a seamless workflow for restocking and reporting.

Question 6

Is Stoc suitable for small distributors or only large fleets?

Accepted Answer

Stoc scales to fleets of any size. Whether you manage a handful of coolers or thousands, the same real-time insights and alerts apply. Small distributors often see faster time-to-value since they can act on every alert immediately.

Question 7

What is required for hardware installation?

Accepted Answer

Stoc’s hardware is plug-and-play: a simple peel-and-stick camera and sensor module mounts inside each cooler. No wiring or IT support is needed—most installations take under 10 minutes per location.
