Challenges

  • Fast-growing B2B IT reseller faced functional and scalability limitations with Sage 200 that limited its ability to grow the business.
  • Inflexibility and an inability to customise Sage resulted in high IT costs and a need for expensive upgrades.
  • Management and sales lacked timely information on business performance, resulting in guesswork decisions.

Solution

  • Facing a costly upgrade to its on-premise Sage solution, Total Computer Networks selected NetSuite as an ideal cloud platform with the flexibility needed to capitalise on its growth potential.
  • Implementation and customisations by NetSuite Solution Provider partner Nolan Business Solutions helped ensure a flexible, scalable solution tuned to unique business needs.
  • eInteract SuiteApp from Nolan Business Solutions streamlines transactions with suppliers through EDI integration between NetSuite and the Onetrail Trading Partner Network (TPN).
  • Real-time price and availability information enables easy access to distributors' inventory.
  • Automatic product catalogue updates and EDI for purchase orders reduce the cost per transaction and wins back sales staff time.
