WHEN AN ERP IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOUR INCREASING OPERATIONS...

If you are a CEO, Director or Regional Manager, surely one of your biggest priorities is to keep a real-time control of all the operations of your stores, restaurants or branches.

Although Oracle NetSuite is a highly efficient tool for managing medium and large retail businesses, sometimes our needs are very specific. That's why the platform enables partners and developers to develop customized solutions based on their experience in the retail sector -which differentiates it from other ERP business management systems- and makes it a more collaborative and customized option.

Although they may be in the same industry, a sneaker store with a large catalog of products and thousands of transactions is not the same as a store that sells luxury footwear and has suppliers in different parts of the world. The former needs a point-of-sale system that automates its sales process, while the latter requires an international logistics solution.

Combined, these complementary tools can help retail companies transform their business in a variety of ways:

  • Increase operational efficiency: These tools can automate tasks that are normally performed manually, which can save companies time and money.
  • Improve data accuracy: These tools can centralize data, which can help companies make better business decisions.
  • Enhance customer experience: These tools can help companies provide a better customer experience, which can lead to increased sales and customer satisfaction.

    So we researched from the list of certified NetSuite Apps the three that will help you the most.

ZOKU POS: take the control of your point-of-sales

Zoku POS offers a platform that works with your existing hardware - including printers, scanners and scales - and embeds it with NetSuite for real-time inventory updates and integrated billing. On the other hand, from the front end, ZOKU shows your customers a friendlier, more intuitive look and feel, and you can even add loyalty programs, coupons and customized promotions.

More specifically, ZOKU includes features such as:

  • Sales management: allows retailers to record sales, process payments and make returns.
  • Inventory management: efficiently track inventory, place orders and manage stock levels.
  • Customer management: store information about your customers, track purchases and send direct marketing.

ShipStation: YOUR RETAIL LOGISTIC TOOL

The main promise of ShipStation is to provide a complete view of the logistics process and facilitate operations, from filling purchase/sales orders through printing labeling and finally automatically updating order locations and sending email messages.

ShipStation leverages the power of NetSuite's CRM, Commerce, Finance, Inventory and Marketing modules to carry out all your processes and also create reports with relevant information about your buying/selling behaviors and the most popular channels for your operations.

Other ShipStation features include:

  • Returns management: ShipStation allows retailers to manage product returns, process refunds and track the status of returns.
  • Tax management: ShipStation allows retailers to calculate taxes on shipments and generate tax reports.

Shopify: A TIMELESS E-COMMERCE CLASSIC

Despite the fact that it needs no introduction, it is worth remembering that this e-commerce platform is one of the most chosen by business owners of various sizes to put their product offerings online in a simple and fast way.

Among its main functionalities are the creation of customized websites using drag and drop functions, brand customizations and integrations with other applications, including the most recognized payment platforms such as Stripe and PayPal.

There are other functionalities that to a more or lesser measure will help you manage your online store:
  • Real-time order and customer synchronization with NetSuite.
  • Inventory synchronization between NetSuite and Shopify
  • Measure your performance and sales with information collected from your own and competitors to help you make better decisions.
