Case Study: Warwick Hanger achieves a 90% fill rate and eliminates stock-outs with Netstock

Wholesale distributor eliminates stock-outs and optimizes inventory holdings with Netstock

Warwick Hanger, a U.S. manufacturer and wholesale distributor of residential and light commercial pipe hangers, was struggling to manage rapidly growing inventory—expanding from about 60 to 1,000 SKUs—and frequently overordered to avoid stock-outs (sometimes even buying from competitors to fill customer orders). The company ran Sage 100 and engaged Netstock to provide a purpose-built inventory optimization solution that could handle complex forecasting and replenishment needs.

Netstock integrated with Warwick Hanger’s Sage 100 and delivered graphical dashboards, bill-of-materials forecasting, and container-order optimization; implementation was completed remotely and quickly. As a result, Warwick Hanger’s order fill rate rose from roughly 50% to about 90%, stock-outs were essentially eliminated, container purchases were optimized, and inventory holdings did not increase despite expansion into four new territories—demonstrating measurable cost savings and rapid ROI from Netstock.
