But Mack’s Prairie Wings is a midsize retailer that’s found a way to drive results across a large retail store, website and mail-order catalog. Eric Chin, COO of the waterfowl hunting outfitter, will describe how NetSuite’s unified platform has been crucial to its omnichannel success by keeping all data and transactions in one place.
