Case Study: Tradeware Group achieves predictive planning and improved fill rates with Netstock

Tradeware builds predictive planning processes with Netstock

Tradeware Group, an Australian wholesale hardware supplier operating six warehouses, was facing rapid growth and struggling to manage a large product portfolio using spreadsheets, which left them with limited inventory visibility and slow forecasting. They adopted Netstock—integrated with their Sage 300 ERP—and began using Netstock’s inventory planning tools, including Pivot Forecasting, to address these challenges.

Netstock delivered daily inventory visibility, improved forecasting (leveraging Google Trends for seasonality), and easy reporting exports for deeper analysis, plus comprehensive onboarding and training. As a result, Tradeware achieved streamlined processes, measurable improvements in fill rates, stronger supplier relations through 12‑month projected orders, and the ability to extend planning horizons (plans to forecast up to 24 months) — all enabled by Netstock.
