3 Key Takeaways from SuiteWorld17

As you may be aware, NetSuite’s annual conference SuiteWorld took place last week in Las Vegas, NV. There was a new look and feel to this year’s conference with the new Oracle branding on all signage and Jim McGeever replaced Zach Nelson to deliver the main keynote address. It was during this keynote that Mark Hurd, CEO of Oracle, confirmed that oracle would continue to run NetSuite as a global business unit within Oracle and would help the world’s number 1 cloud based ERP system to grow and dominate its market share.

From Jim McGeever’s opening address to the NetSuite partners on Monday April 24^th, here are my 3 key takeaways:

1.       NetSuite is Going Global 

With the help and support of Oracle, NetSuite is going to put a huge push on growing and dominating the worldwide Cloud ERP marketplace. This year NetSuite has plans to expand into 30 more countries including Germany, the Benelux countries and Scandinavia to name a few.

2.       NetSuite is now a complete Unified Suite

With the introduction of SuitePeople, NetSuite adds HCM to its existing portfolio of ERP, CRM, eCommerce (SuiteCommerce) and Omni-Channel solutions. Adding a HCM solution now gives NetSuite a complete suite of business software solutions to all organizations.

3.       SuiteSuccess

SuiteSuccess was the big buzzword at SuiteWorld17. According to NetSuite ‘SuiteSuccess is the culmination of a multi-year transformation effort to combine the NetSuite unified suite, 20 years of industry leading practices, a new customer engagement model and business optimization methods into a unified, industry cloud solution. SuiteSuccess is engineered to solve unique industry challenges that historically have limited a company’s ability to grow, scale and adapt to change.’ Also, according to NetSuite, following the best business practices of SuiteSuccess, new customer implementations should go live within the first 100 days.

Chargebacks is an ugly 11 letter word

Join B2BGateway and DSI on February 16^th for a webinar to learn how your organization can be better prepared to avoid the dreaded chargeback!

In the 1970’s there was a huge rise in the large retail chain marketplace. Retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others recognized that their future success would depend largely on moving large volumes of inventory through their supply chains with maximum efficiency. So, these box-store groups began to invest heavily in automated warehouse and sophisticated systems that allowed the product flow from supplier to store to consumer with minimal human intervention.

When a non-compliant shipment comes in from a supplier, let’s say boxes with labels that cannot be scanned correctly, it becomes an exception that requires the manual intervention of the retailers staff and naturally added cost to the retailer to sort out.

Chargebacks became the retailers answer to controlling these exceptions and keeping their supply chains running as efficiently and smoothly as possible. When a supplier does not meet the terms of a retailer’s contract and the correct procedures are not followed, retailers can issue a charge back to cover the cost of the inefficiencies caused by an out-of-compliance-shipment. These chargebacks can be as much as 15% to 20% of an invoice.

To learn how you can put best business practice in place and avoid costly chargebacks which could be detrimental to your business join B2BGateway and DSI for a webinar on February 16^th at 1pm EST. Full details and registration here
