Are you making New Year’s resolutions for how to run a better, more profitable ecommerce business in 2013?
As both B2C and B2B ecommerce continues to grow, the New Year is full of possibilities to streamline operations and reduce costs while meeting growing customer demand for a relevant and interactive relationship with your brand. But those objectives are difficult to meet for merchants running ecommerce point solutions and legacy back-end systems.
Those first-generation systems divert focus from building the business, as staff wastes time manually manipulating data across incompatible applications. Visibility into inventory, sales and customers is limited, and what is available is weeks old. Customers will defect to a competitor if you can’t deliver a seamless cross-channel experience.
We recently spoke with a number of leading merchants running NetSuite SuiteCommerce to learn how they’re making out with our single, integrated commerce solution, with a rich web storefront linked natively to back-office ERP / financials, inventory and order management, CRM, support, marketing and more.
Quite uniformly, these customers have improved efficiency, customer service and the multichannel shopping experience with a real-time 360-degree view of customers and the business. They can closely control inventory across multiple locations, speed fulfillment and run multiple branded and geo-specific websites from a single SuiteCommerce instance.
You can read our announcement on these companies here, and in the meantime I’ll let our customers speak for themselves:

Jafrum International
Jafrum International (http://www.jafrum.com (opens in new tab)) is a leading e-tailer of motorcycle helmets, jackets, luggage and other riding gear. “We’re glad we went with NetSuite early on so we didn’t have to switch from standalone applications several years later,” said Rumana Bai, Jafrum VP. “We went with NetSuite because it had everything in a single solution —eCommerce, accounting, CRM, inventory and more.”
KASK America
KASK America (www.kaskhelmets.com) is the US subsidiary of the Italy-based manufacturer of helmets for cycling, skiing, mountaineering and work safety.

Happy selling this holiday season and best wishes for a prosperous and profitable 2013!
