Customer Success
NetSuite supplies a single, integrated platform for growth at the maker of
performance-oriented merino wool socks for hiking, running, cycling and other outdoor
activities.
Point6 has dramatically improved its visibility and efficiency since upgrading from a
problematic Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) on-premise system.
NetSuite's flexible reporting on real-time data enables Point6 to drill into product sales
by variations and customers for better business decisions.
Point6 has streamlined transactions with retail partners at hundreds of U.S. locations,
including Bass Pro Shops and L.L. Bean, as well as distribution partners operating in 17
countries.
NetSuite enables real-time inventory visibility and efficient fulfillment of orders from
retail partners as well as consumers through the www.point6.com ecommerce site.
Point6 has a single view of B2B and B2C customers to improve sales and service and support
targeted marketing campaigns based on purchase history and interests.
NetSuite gives Point6 improved capabilities in working with partners who source merino wool
from sheep as well as domestic contract manufacturers that produce Point6 socks.
Point6 has reduced its total cost of ownership by moving to cloud ERP.
Challenges
Point6 experienced serious problems in its ability to efficiently access and report on data
from Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Third-party IT consultants were frequently engaged to troubleshoot issues with the Microsoft
application and implement workarounds.
Point6 needed a reliable, accessible system to eliminate high degrees of manual work and
enable a focus on growing the business.
Solution
Selected over Intacct, NetSuite met Point6’s requirements for an integrated financials, CRM
and inventory solution that could scale.
Transition to a cloud environment gives Point6 personnel anywhere, anytime data access while
eliminating in-house IT infrastructure.
