Case Study: Ward Packaging achieves higher fill rates, 36% less excess inventory and increased sales with Netstock

NETSTOCK packs in value for Ward Packaging

Ward Packaging, an Australian packaging distributor serving catering, hospitality and retail with more than 2,000 SKUs (including custom-printed and eco ranges), struggled to meet customer demand without overstocking. To address this complexity the company implemented Netstock, integrating the Netstock solution with its Sage 300 ERP to gain better inventory control and forecasting.

Netstock provided item classification, a sales/unit‑movement matrix, and a daily dashboard/KPI reporting that focused investment on the most important products and improved forecasting. As a result of Netstock’s solution Ward Packaging increased fill rates and sales, reduced excess inventory by 36%, cut stock-outs by 68% and lowered surplus orders by 85%, while gaining clearer supply‑chain visibility.
