How Retailers Can Manage Growth with NetSuite

Growth in the retail context refers to any increase in the size or scale of a retailer’s business operations. This could include the expansion of physical locations, the introduction of new product lines, or the improvement of existing products. Growth is often measured by looking at metrics like revenue, profits, and customer base. Growth can also be represented by increased market share.

NetSuite is a cloud-based business management solution that can help retailers manage the complexities of growth. NetSuite provides an integrated platform for sales, marketing, customer service, inventory, and financial management – all in one place. This allows retailers to have full visibility into their operations while providing tools to manage their business better.

How NetSuite Retail Edition Helps to Manage Growth

NetSuite Retail Edition provides retailers with the tools and features to help maximise growth opportunities. Some of these include:

Automated Inventory Management

NetSuite Retail Edition helps retailers keep track of their inventory in real-time, ensuring they always have the products customers want on hand. This helps them better manage their supply chain and reduce costs associated with overstocking or under-delivering.

Expanded Customer Insights

NetSuite Retail Edition provides a range of analytics that help retailers better understand their customers, allowing them to make informed decisions about product development and marketing strategies.

Improved Sale to Delivery Processes

For eCommerce retailers, NetSuite Retail Edition provides tools to streamline the sale-to-delivery process, from order fulfilment to customer service. This helps retailers save time and money while providing an enhanced customer experience.

Enhanced Financial Management

NetSuite Retail Edition enables retailers to better manage their finances, including budgeting, forecasting, and reporting. The platform also offers integrated accounting solutions for improved accuracy and efficiency.

Preparing for Rapid Expansion in Retail

Aside from supporting inventory management, customer service, warehouse processes and financial control, NetSuite as a platform also makes scaling your systems with your business simple.

NetSuite OneWorld: Expanding at Pace

NetSuite OneWorld is a module that allows retailers to manage national and global operations from a single platform. The software offers multi-currency, multi-language and multi-tax support, allowing businesses to expand into new countries or regions easily.

With OneWorld, your existing configuration of NetSuite can be copied into new subsidiaries instantly, meaning that opening new locations, whether locally or internationally becomes much easier from an IT standpoint. These configurations can also be easily localised to ensure compliance with individual countries’ taxes and reporting obligations.

These additional subsidiaries can also be managed from a centralised dashboard, giving your management team full visibility of the performance of each location, as well as a roll-up view of group performance.

Wrapping Up

NetSuite is an invaluable tool for retailers looking to manage and take advantage of growth opportunities. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools to help retailers streamline their operations, improve customer service, gain insights into customer behaviour, manage inventory, and more. With NetSuite’s retail edition and OneWorld module, retailers can easily scale their business as they grow.
