Customer Success

Real-time data and on-demand financial reporting enable That Pet Place to better monitor business conditions and adapt to changes.
NetSuite CRM enables a single view of customer activity across company’s SuiteCommerce-based website, 110,000-square-foot retail superstore and call center.
That Pet Place also uses CRM data for aggressive B2C and B2B email marketing and a loyalty program used by 96% of retail customers.
Workflow automation and ease of use enables back-office staff to manage ecommerce site, rather relying on than higher-priced IT professionals.
Single data set covering products, finance and customers has eliminated redundant manual work.
NetSuite has provided agility to help That Pet Place grow sales through its B2B channel to universities, government agencies, museums and other institutions.
That Pet Place has streamlined processes to procure roughly 20,000 SKUs from about 250 suppliers.

Challenges

Previous Systemax PCS system lacked robust accounting and financial reporting capabilities.
Staff was forced into labor-intensive workarounds using spreadsheets that hurt productivity and visibility into the business.
High-priced IT personnel were needed to manage and update content on complex Systemax ecommerce site previously in place.

Solution

Selected over Microsoft Dynamics AX, Salesforce and JDA Ecometry, NetSuite's integrated cloud business solution was viewed as ideal for the multi-channel business.
Demand planning solution from NetSuite partner Valogix improves inventory forecasting and helps enable costly stock-outs resulting in a reduction of inventory carrying costs by more than 10%.
Warehouse management solution from NetSuite partner eBizNET helps accelerate pick, pack and ship and fulfillment processes and improved order processing efficiency by 30%.
