Case Study: Eastern Warehouse Distributors achieves 40% inventory reduction and faster deliveries with Netstock

Eastern Warehouse Distributors - Customer Case Study

Eastern Warehouse Distributors (EWD) is a Pennsylvania-based automotive aftermarket wholesaler with 41 warehouses serving Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Relying on a custom ERP and manual spreadsheet workflows, EWD faced limited inventory visibility, costly human errors, excess stock and stock-outs—especially for a key product line imported from China with extended lead times—so they integrated Netstock into their ERP to automate forecasting and ordering.

Netstock delivered real-time visibility, daily forecasting and automated PO suggestions, allowing EWD to absorb purchasing into a single role and better manage supplier cadence (including Chinese New Year). The implementation cut total inventory from $3.0M to $1.8M, reduced excess inventory from $68,000 to $1,600, sped up ordering and reduced lead-time risks, and strengthened supplier relationships thanks to clearer, more reliable forecasts.
