StockIQ Teams Up with Serent Capital to Scale Supply Chain Innovation

April 28, 2025

StockIQ Technologies, a leading provider of supply chain planning software for manufacturers and distributors, today announced a strategic partnership with Serent Capital, a growth-focused private equity firm with deep expertise in scaling technology and software businesses. The partnership will enable StockIQ to accelerate its product innovation, expand market reach, and deepen engagement with its growing customer community.

Founded in 2015, StockIQ delivers a modern, cloud-based platform purpose-built for demand forecasting, inventory planning, supplier performance, and promotion management. The company helps manufacturers and distributors reduce stockouts, improve inventory efficiency, and plan with confidence. As supply chains grow more complex amid global disruptions, shifting tariffs, and evolving customer expectations, StockIQ has become a mission-critical solution for mid-market supply chain teams

“Curtis and I founded StockIQ to help operations leaders take control of their supply chains with intuitive, powerful planning tools that make inventory and demand forecasting smarter and easier,” said Jake Latham, CEO and Co-Founder of StockIQ. “As we continue to scale, we’re committed to delivering innovations like AI-powered forecasting and price elasticity modeling to help our customers adapt to market volatility. In Serent, we’ve found a partner who not only brings the experience, expertise, and resources to support our growth, but who shares our values and belief in putting the customer first. We’re excited for what’s ahead.”

By partnering with Serent, StockIQ will gain access to the firm’s dedicated Growth Team, a 25+ person group of operators who will work alongside the company to refine go-to-market strategy, invest in product scalability, and enhance customer engagement. StockIQ plans to introduce new initiatives to better connect with and support users, including community-driven programming and feature enhancements informed directly by customer feedback.

“StockIQ has built a powerful product and a loyal customer base by solving real problems for distributors and manufacturers,” said Stewart Lynn, Partner at Serent Capital. “We want to stay true to what makes StockIQ special. We’re excited to help scale what’s already working by investing in product innovation that expands the platform’s value, while also supporting the team with go-to-market expertise, customer success resources, and the build-out of the executive team. ”
