Customer Success

New B2B website powered by NetSuite SuiteCommerce transformed content marketing capabilities and ensures customer satisfaction with real-time on-site stock availability.
Advanced Inventory Management provides Bloom &; Grow with enhanced and real-time insight that enabled the company to improve its stock turn and positively manage its cash flow.

Challenges

Bloom & Grow's previous ERP platform was hosted on servers in Hong Kong with VPN access from Bloom & Grow's other offices, which often had technical issues.
Previous system produced inconsistent data and the move to NetSuite has transformed data consistency, reporting and budget projections across the organisation.
Bloom & Grow personnel productivity suffered with frustrating and labourious business processes.
Previous environment was not conducive to mobile access and could not support Bloom & Grow's rapid growth.

Solution

Selected over solutions from MYOB and SAP, NetSuite had the flexibility, scalability, agility and speed of implementation that the company was looking for, as well as offering the cloud-based, ERP and multi-currency capable features that were essential to the organisation.
Bloom & Grow expects to use more NetSuite CRM capabilities and mobilise its sales teams across remote regions to process live sales orders on-site at customers’ retail stores.
NetSuite mobile app is especially valuable for remote and on-the-go business management and transactions.
