Furniture and home goods retailers must adapt omnichannel if they are to survive in the modern world. Today’s consumers expect a seamless customer experience, whether they are shopping from a computer, a mobile phone, or in your brick-and-mortar store. Your home goods business must integrate both a physical and digital presence to survive and succeed.
With NetSuite’s end-to-end solution, you can transform your business from the manufacturing plant to the warehouse to your local furniture showroom. From top to bottom, NetSuite drives efficiency, saves costs, and translates into real competitive advantages. This post will look at how NetSuite enables your home goods store to provide omnichannel commerce and other key benefits:
Seamless Omnichannel Experience
Providing an omnichannel experience is now the expected norm for retailers. However, customers don’t see channels. They see brands. And how that brand engages with them can be the deciding factor when it comes time to buy. The customer experience is evolving, with data being at the heart of it.
NetSuite provides a 360-degree view of customer information to create a seamless experience across your online and offline channels. By bridging the gap between the online and offline world, you allow your customers to browse, engage, and buy however they want.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
If you sell configurable and complex products, any inventory management error can be an expensive mistake. That’s why NetSuite’s inventory management features provide real-time, cross channel inventory visibility. For example, if you’re out of inventory on an item, it is automatically removed from your eCommerce store without human input.
With NetSuite, you can be assured that you’re using accurate inventory numbers when making decisions, regardless of the physical location a product is made or stored in. You can better meet customer expectations and supply appropriate work orders to your manufacturing partners.
Streamlined Order Management
Not only does NetSuite make inventory management more efficient, but it also streamlines order management. The procurement process has become complex, as different parts may need to be pulled from separate warehouses or may need to be custom made. Your home goods store needs a software solution that can deal with that complexity.
NetSuite can manage hundreds or even thousands of items between your different product lines, automating much of the work. The flexible software keeps your business focused on the important things, such as the product, merchandising, presentation, and customer experience.
Empowered Sales Associates
NetSuite gives your sales associates the information and data they need to deliver a fantastic customer experience. Specifically, NetSuite SuiteCommerce enables your employees to manage multiple facets of the business. Handle everything in one system, from financials to CRM to order management, while connecting to your ERP and website.
Your team has massive amounts of data at their fingertips. With just a click, they can manage transactions, search transitions, and see what is going on in the business. With NetSuite on hand, your sales associates will know where inventory is, what’s in the stores, and more importantly, any customer’s likes, dislikes, past quotes, and recent transactions.
A Single Unified Commerce Platform
NetSuite provides a single unified commerce platform. Additionally, with a single piece of software, you can manage your financials, inventory, order processing, fulfillment, WMS, and even how you communicate with your customers. Your business can be extremely flexible while leveraging real-time data to make better decisions.
A major challenge for home goods retailers is finding an IT infrastructure that can keep up with their business growth. If you’re looking to adopt the online business model, NetSuite is a complete end-to-end solution that handles everything from accounting to CRM to eCommerce.
