How to choose a Forthcast alternative
- Decide whether you need batch and expiry tracking (pharma, food) or serial tracking (electronics); not every product does both.
- If you sell on Amazon and Flipkart, a marketplace sync that reserves stock in real time is essential.
- Check how it integrates with your billing or accounting product; double entry defeats the purpose.
