Challenges

  • Jetline experienced delays and rising costs with manual order-to-cash processes that relied on printing and transferring paper documents across departments.
  • Company lacked visibility and measurability of key processes, including production, inventory management, sales order processing and order management.
  • Lack of visibility across the business and no integration between financials/ERP and CRM hindered growth potential.

Solution

  • Launched in early 2014, NetSuite's rich customisation capability gives Jetline the flexibility to produce large volumes of custom orders to the specifications of B2B buyers.
  • Jetline makes extensive use of NetSuite custom fields, forms and records, saved searches, alerts and workflows to orchestrate business functions.
  • OzLINK solution from NetSuite partner Oz Development for shipping and barcode scanning improves warehousing and fulfilment efficiency.
  • With integration, NetSuite real-time inventory data is fed into Jetline's Magento-based ecommerce site and offered as a service to key distribution partners.
  • Solutions and services from NetSuite partners Box, Celigo and Prolecto help round out Jetline's NetSuite implementation.
  • Next phase will focus on greater transactional efficiency with high-volume customers, likely with a best-of-breed EDI solution.
