Case Study: Fresh Produce Group achieves $1M annual savings and real-time inventory visibility with Oracle NetSuite

Australia’s Largest and Most Innovative Fresh Produce Provider Gains Significant Market Advantages with NetSuite OneWorld

Fresh Produce Group, one of Australia’s largest fresh produce suppliers, was constrained by a DOS-based financial system and Excel spreadsheets that couldn’t provide visibility across its growing network of farms, restaurants and supermarkets. Manual forecasting and inventory processes were slow and error-prone, staff spent hours locating pallets in the warehouse, and perishable stock was frequently wasted.

The company implemented NetSuite OneWorld in 2008 to run financials, inventory, order management and CRM, building a custom pallet-management module integrated with RF barcode scanning. The system delivered real-time inventory visibility, saved about $1 million annually, cut time spent finding stock, improved on-time delivery and reduced waste, and provided a scalable platform to add sites and users with minimal administrative overhead.
