“We run everything through NetSuite—from custom ordering portals, to manufacturing, freight, and automated analysis and monitoring—so we always have a complete view into our business.” Gary Smith, CEO, BioPak

Companion Plants Support Healthier Growth

From seedling to sprout
Founded in 2006, BioPak launched Australia’s first ever bioplastic takeaway cup and lid combination. The business’ laser focus on ethical innovation saw it capitalise on the growing consumer trend of more conscious consumption. Within 10 short years, the business had expanded its footprint to New Zealand, Asia and Europe.
All silo, no grain
Before NetSuite, BioPak staff would manually transfer data between spreadsheets for key competitive activities, while supplier communications occurred via siloed fax and email. The lack of a unified data source complicated order tracking and supply chain management.
The best of growth worlds
Since deploying NetSuite OneWorld in 2011, BioPak has been able to manage its business efficiently enough to focus on driving innovation—including a B2B ecommerce solution, an industrial composting collection service and a bespoke NetSuite carbon calculator to help customers reduce their environmental footprint—offsetting more than 44,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2019 alone.
Life in the fast lane
NetSuite’s complete business management solution helps BioPak efficiently manage operations, supply chain and customer service while scaling the business to new heights—freeing the company to focus on its mission of making the world’s hospitality businesses more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
