RSMUS.comNetSuite is a cloud-based business management software that is an excellent fit for distribution. Because NetSuite’s functionality is a great fit in this area, RSM can help implement distribution companies with little to no customization. Here are some of the key features that make NetSuite a high-value choice for distribution:
- Real-Time Financials and Accounting: NetSuite provides real-time access to the financial and operational performance of your wholesale distribution business. You can easily access key metrics like Cost of Goods Sold and Picking Accuracy that help you improve organizational efficiencies and grow your business.
- Inventory Management: NetSuite allows you to manage inventory centrally across multiple locations and selling channels. You can optimize inventory levels and minimize stockouts with demand-based planning, taking into account historical demand, sales forecasts, and seasonality. Using ABC analysis within or across multiple warehouse locations adds to your flexibility in managing inventory.
- Warehouse Efficiency: NetSuite has a built-in Warehouse Management Solution (WMS) that provides functionality for handheld scanning. Features like zone picking can automate and streamline warehouse tasks, increasing fulfillment efficiency and lowering labor costs. RSM can even help you ensure network connectivity throughout your warehouse to leverage this option.
- CRM: You don’t need to search for, buy, and integrate an outside CRM solution. NetSuite gives everyone who interfaces with customers – sales, support, and service – access to real-time customer data such as preferences, transactions, and interactions to enable them to provide consistent service experiences across touchpoints.
- Optimize the Supply Chain: NetSuite provides portal access for vendors, customers, and sales partners to maximize efficiency and take administrative work off your team. These are free accounts in most cases, allowing these users limited data management and reporting capabilities.
- Modern Sales Experience: NetSuite allows you to track customer interactions online, by phone, over email, in person, and more with omnichannel commerce, allowing you to build your e-commerce website directly in NetSuite. Building your site in NetSuite removes the complexity of integrating purchases, payments, returns, and credits. You also don’t need to worry about syncing customer details, inventory counts, price levels, or promotions into your site. One update changes the details for internal and external visitors.
RSM has been NetSuite’s Partner of the Year for the past 10 years, with hundreds of successful wholesale distribution implementations. When you choose RSM to implement NetSuite, you can focus on what matters most – growing your business and providing exceptional customer service.
