KHAOS CONTROL VS STOK.LY

A budget ERP is only cheap until you need the rest of it.

Stok.ly keeps stock straightforward for smaller businesses, and there is nothing wrong with that. Khaos Control gives you the CRM, the warehouse, the accounts and the reporting in the same licence – and the room to grow into them.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE BITES

No dedicated CRM module.

Warehouse functionality depends on the plan you pick.

Limited native reporting – the answer is a Power BI integration.
