NetSuite’s 360 degree, real-time visibility of what is happening within an organisation assists retailers to react straight away to spikes and downturns that happen with product lines and respond accordingly.

Beyond the rapid growth NetSuite enables, its omnichannel capabilities ensure that retailers can meet the demands of the modern consumer and deliver unique, personalised and compelling mobile, web and in-store experiences that differentiate your brand and exceed customer expectations.
WHAT IS ON THE HORIZON FOR YOU AS A COMPANY? NetSuite’s acquisition by Oracle has led to massive ongoing investment in product development, the latest of which will feature Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from within the system, while continuing our expansion globally.

While the retail market is very challenging right now, the success of ecommerce vendors and retailers who have embraced international expansion shows that there is also great opportunity today. Retailers need to focus on getting modern, integrated systems, automating processes and designing the right customer experience to be fit for international expansion and ensure they can respond and grow rapidly without increasing their back office costs at the same rate.
