Customer Success
Company saved between £100,000 and £120,000 over the three-year cost of hardware and
licenses for equivalent SAP applications.
NetSuite now gives managers, engineers, sales reps and others real-time access to company
information.
New web store improves customer relationships by simplifying training courses.
iPhone app improves customer service by facilitating knowledge-base access for field
technicians.
Access to real-time financial data boosts cash flow by improving visibility of creditor
payments.
Challenges
Heating Products Company was unable to maintain high growth rate with proprietary software
applications.
Company needed to improve customer relationships to succeed with low-volume, high-value
product line.
Sales staff handling of 300-400 projects at any given time was slowed by complex manual
reporting and other processes.
Cash flow suffered because managers had difficulty tracking late creditor payments.
Solution
Company replaced proprietary applications with NetSuite, designed new business processes to
take advantage of end-to-end integration.
First processes were designed to manage new business leads.
CRM applications followed, then financials, followed by creation of a knowledge base for
technical queries.
Role-based, real-time dashboards give 100 users instant visibility into personal KPIs.
