NetSuite for Electronic Retailers

Every retailer wants to give the customer the experience of being known as one of the major online marketplaces. But there is another notable reason to emulate them: these online retail giants are setting customer expectations, and those who cannot meet them are struggling to grow their business. 

Electronic retailers need a dynamic technological advancement to compete with the new business models. Today, electronic retailers need the right technology to attract their customers and to understand how they use their products through social shopping and high personal marketing. Implementing effective strategies across the business process helps a company’s growth. NetSuite Retail Edition is a solution for these problems and helps electronic retailers to enhance their business strategies and profitability.

How do electronic retailers fail with the mismanaged business process?

Electronic retailers undergo difficulty with the manual processes and inefficient technology that create several problems in the success of the company. They are unable to meet the customer expectations due to this crisis.

The reasons for the mismanagement of business processes include;

• Expensive operational costs and inefficiencies: Money and time spent on manual processes lead to failure in providing an efficient customer experience. For this, the business processes should be automated.

• Lack of abilities to support cross-channel process: The incapability of businesses to provide online services for purchases from all over the world. These services include buying online/pick up in-store and return to store options, which enhances the customer experience.

• Manual data transfer: The lack of software applications that do not communicate in real-time in the process of accounting, inventory management, order management, and e-commerce makes the system slow and produces errors.

• Lack of visibility to key business dimensions: There are no reports on the profits from customers and the products due to the disparate systems and spreadsheets.

Electronic retailers are wasting a lot of money and time on these resources and are unable to enhance their business in the industry. With NetSuite’s integrated model, electronics companies can stop wasting time and resources managing multiple data silos by utilizing live visibility for statistics about their business.
