Reinventing to Expand

Technology fuels a new business model
After using the same homegrown business system for 20 years, Ceven’s leadership determined that it would need a more powerful solution in order to add direct-to-consumer and online sales to its business model. The company’s requirements included a cloud-based system that would easily integrate with ecommerce marketplaces.
The change pays off

Ceven chose NetSuite OneWorld as an ERP and SuiteCommerce for its new B2B and B2C ecommerce operations. The team integrated the system with over 30 ecommerce marketplaces, and they can view stock levels and adjust prices in real time. Customers enjoy a choice of payment methods because Ceven’s SuiteCommerce site integrates with eight banks, and they trust the NetSuite platform, which is known for its strong security.

Benefits of going digital
Ceven has benefitted from its new business system in areas beyond ecommerce. While many companies in Argentina paused operations during 2020 lockdowns, Ceven’s teams easily worked from home via the cloud. As a result, market share and revenue increased. NetSuite’s automatic updates ensure Ceven is always using cutting-edge technology, an assurance it lacked with its on-premises system.
Staying ahead
Ceven now generates 10,000 invoices per day through marketplaces and handles them seamlessly in NetSuite. In the four years since launching ecommerce and direct-to-consumer, revenue has increased more than 400%. The company aims to continue using technology to stay a step ahead of its competitors.
