It manages commitments and available-to-promise (ATP) inventory across multiple channels, integrating commerce to your supply chain, ensuring that you promise accurately. Suddenly, you’ll be able to increase inventory management across all locations using its strong inventory planning, replenishment and warehouse management capabilities.

By coordinating all of your fulfilment locations and providers, NetSuite Order Management keeps distributed order management moving effortlessly and quickly. When fulfilment issues happen, you can easily resolve them and get back on track.

The ability to support cross-channel returns is a must have feauture in today’s competitive environment. With return and exchange capabilities, NetSuite Order Management extends the seamless omnichannel experience to returns.

NetSuite reduces points of failure found in separate systems, ensuring that returns are managed accurately, that saleable items make it back into ATP inventory without delay and that any potential quality issues or fraud are immediately detected and fixed.

Customers are frustrated by employees who can’t help them.

NetSuite Order Management offers a customer service experience that allows your staff to engage with customers to help them inquire about specific product availability, place orders and manage post-order changes and issues.
