Operating directly on the core NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) business management application, SuiteCommerce is designed to address the limitations and complexity of first-generation commerce systems; enabling businesses to streamline business processes, grow relationships using built-in marketing tools and immerse customers in a richly interactive and intuitive shopping experience and providing a central system to manage all transactions with consumers and other businesses regardless of touchpoint (website, smart phone, in-store, tablet, social media, etc.).

Through these technology partnerships, UK businesses can have a robust, extensible commerce ecosystem that raises the bar for commerce performance across all channels. With partner solutions based on the SuiteCloud development platform and available as SuiteApps at www.suiteapp.com, companies are able to mix and match partner technology to meet their unique needs and expand to meet business demands on a global scale. These new partners strengthen NetSuite's CaaS offering and its SuiteCommerce platform, while helping to reshape commerce.

Zach Nelson, NetSuite CEO says: "Thanks to the sophisticated payment, point-of-sale, social shopping and order tracking capabilities, UK businesses will be empowered to attract and retain customers while ridding themselves of the cost and complexity of legacy on-premise systems."

SeeWhy reduces shopping cart abandonment rates and recovers lost sales
SeeWhy (http://seewhy.com/) is a real-time shopping cart recovery company which helps eCommerce merchants to immediately reach out to website visitors who abandon their online purchases. Launched in the US in June 2012, SeeWhy's Conversion Manager SuiteApp is now available in the UK. The Conversion Manager SuiteApp was built using NetSuite's SuiteCloud development platform, and gives NetSuite customers the ability to recover lost sales opportunities by triggering real-time email and social media remarketing campaigns which incentivise visitors to return and purchase. Scott Silk, CEO, SeeWhy comments: "Consumers are short of time and often shop on the move, meaning that they can easily forget about purchases or abandon them in favour of a competitor's website. Our partnership with NetSuite means that retailers can capture these consumers before they buy from another retailer's webstore, while NetSuite SuiteCommerce ensures that these orders are automatically integrated into back-end systems including inventory and fulfillment, ensuring that customers receive their purchases on time and as ordered."

As soon as an order is made through NetSuite, MetaPack's 'intelligent delivery' engine allocates the best of 1200 delivery options according to metrics such as cost, product, and location. Shiran Liyanage, Head of Marketing, MetaPack says: "Combining our home delivery expertise with NetSuite's SuiteCommerce platform means that consumers are receiving a positive shopping experience from the webstore all the way through to delivery. NetSuite's solution ensures that all customers' orders are automatically processed and sent to the appropriate warehouse location or drop-shipper based on available inventory and geography and MetaPack ensures that the order can be collected, dispatched or delivered to anywhere whilst providing full visibility to all."
