Case Study: Universal Paper and Plastics achieves streamlined stock levels and accurate production planning with Netstock

Universal Paper and Plastics streamlines stock levels with Netstock

Universal Paper and Plastics, a South African manufacturer and nationwide supplier of printed napkins, bathroom tissue, kitchen towels and related products, was hampered by cumbersome manual spreadsheets and inaccurate forecasting while managing over 400 SKUs and a 48–72 hour lead time. To strengthen forecasting and ERP performance the company deployed Sage ERP X3 and implemented Netstock as an integrated inventory forecasting add-on.

Netstock analyzes historic inventory activity from Sage ERP X3 to identify shortfalls, streamline stock levels and feed actionable projections back into the ERP, enabling faster, more accurate production planning and reducing time spent on manual forecasting. Universal Paper and Plastics reports quicker, more accurate planning since going live, and Netstock’s cloud solution is claimed to cut inventory by up to 35% and lift sales by 10% or more.
