Customer Success
Fast-growing global ecommerce logistics fulfillment provider based in Hong Kong has realized
rapid time to value since launching its business on NetSuite in 2015.
Floship leverages NetSuite integrated with their proprietary software to cost-efficiently
automate warehousing, logistics, order management and fulfillment processes on behalf of
clients.
NetSuite scalability accommodates rapid growth targeted at 200% year-over-year and a client
base at more than 50 companies and beyond within its first year.
NetSuite agility helps Floship capitalize on booming opportunities for outsourced logistics
services among ecommerce companies seeking a centralized distribution hub for global
fulfillment including shipping into China and India for ecommerce sales.
Floship efficiently processes high order volumes from its warehouses, with fulfillment to
virtually every country in the world.
Floship utilizes the SuiteCloud Development Platform to build connectors that integrate
NetSuite with client systems for order management, ecommerce, supply chain and other
processes.
NetSuite customization capabilities enable Floship to streamline processes with
workflow-driven automation, generating substantial time and cost savings.
NetSuite inventory management gives Floship real-time visibility into stock across multiple
locations and helps drive automated replenishment.
NetSuite’s powerful reporting enables both Floship and ultimately its clients to track and
manage order volumes on demand for continuous optimization.
Customizations for shipping optimization enable Floship to route orders according to the
least expensive, fastest carriers on a per-order basis.
Multi-currency capabilities in NetSuite International Edition enable Floship to transact in
Hong Kong and U.S. dollars, or other currencies as needed, which is especially important as
it deals with logistics vendors and ecommerce customers worldwide.
Challenges
2014 startup logistics company needed an agile, scalable solution with minimal up-front
capital investment.
Floship wanted to invest its resources in building its own cloud technology-based offering
for customers, not in building and managing on-premise software and servers for backend and
internal processes.
Solution
Selected over OpenERP, NetSuite was an ideal fit to Floship’s requirements for a flexible
cloud platform that could scale with growth.
Floship brought NetSuite live in just one month with self-implementation, compared to the
six months that would have been required with another solution.
NetSuite’s local office in Hong Kong, strong user community and large base of solutions
providers worldwide added to the value proposition.
