New Vertical Application Helps Ecommerce Businesses Do More With Less
LONDON, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- IntoScape, a UK software developer, today
launched Total Commerce Management for NetSuite, an application suite designed
to automate and integrate key business processes including those in the supply
chain management, procurement, competitor monitoring and pricing systems and
with particular emphasis on fast-moving Ecommerce companies. Total Commerce
Management is powered by the NetSuite Business Operating System (NS-BOS) from
NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business
management application suites that provide Accounting / Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Ecommerce software
suites for small and midsized businesses and divisions of large companies.
Total Commerce Management for NetSuite automates make-or-break merchandising
activities of a business: from supplier sourcing and competitor analysis to
margin-based pricing calculation, inventory management and catalogue updates,
substantially reducing the resources and time required to perform these
critical functions. For more information about this solution, please visit

NetSuite Business Operating System (NS-BOS) is a Software as a Service
(SaaS) application development platform for software developers, ISVs and VARs
that enables them to create industry-specific applications targeting all
spectrums of vertical markets. IntoScape uses the development platform of
NS-BOS to develop and distribute its Total Commerce Management for NetSuite to
NetSuite customers, drawing from its expertise in powering the Ecommerce
activities of IT247.com, an online IT equipment reseller. Total Commerce
Management for NetSuite is an ideal solution for growing and medium-sized
enterprises that need to manage the complex, Web-based, catalogue and
telesales environments -- for businesses where price and stock movements may
be frequent and volatile and daily competitor activity influences published
prices.
By tying into the core business processes supported by NetSuite's
on-demand business suite, Total Commerce Management also automates those
related key business processes. These include: procurement, supply-chain
management, competitor monitoring and the automation of product pricing,
inventory management and content management updates for any Web store that
makes use of the NetSuite shopping cart and checkout process -- including
externally hosted Web stores that integrate via NetSuite's Website Developers
Kit (WSDK).
As a result of this tight integration between IntoScape's Total Commerce
Management solution and the NetSuite business suite, Total Commerce Management
is the solution for businesses that need to distil and analyse information
from external and internal sources alike and present it back to executives and
managers in a centralized, easy-to-use dashboard environment -- from which
they can make timely, accurate and confident decisions based on the latest
business data.
The combination of NS-BOS and Total Commerce Management for NetSuite
creates a powerful tool for mid-market wholesale and distribution, and online
retailing-dependent businesses looking to compete more effectively and
efficiently in their market. As such, IntoScape has helped to redefine the way
in which businesses can manage these multiple, complex challenges while
combining 'best practices' from across the entire business environment,
letting them work effectively together in a single business system. The rapid
and efficient growth of the IT247.com retail site (http://www.it247.com) is
testament to the powerful capabilities that Total Commerce Management for
NetSuite can bring to a business.
"This is a major step forward in managing fast-moving retail
environments," said Steve Willock, Managing Director at IntoScape. "Previously
companies may have taken weeks to achieve what Total Commerce Management
allows them to do in minutes. The human resource requirement to run it is
minimal, compared to an established retailer who could employ 20 to 50 people
to manage the various disparate tasks that just two people could handle with
minimal effort with this technology. The fact that the Total Commerce
Management platform is fully integrated with NetSuite ensures that a business'
customers benefit fully from leading technology, making them both more
profitable and better able to satisfy their customers."
"We believe the level of automation and integration that the IntoScape
development team has created for its customers by leveraging NS-BOS is unique,
and seeing a demonstration of the combined platforms of Total Commerce
Management and NetSuite working together is quite remarkable," said Craig
Sullivan, VP, International Products at NetSuite Inc. "It has reinforced our
belief that the expanding development community who are using NS-BOS
development tools and complimentary technologies are creating world-class
solutions in a variety of markets. We are delighted that our new BOS
capabilities have proven to be a successful distribution vehicle for this
application's deployment and we look forward to sharing many more customer
success stories with the IntoScape team in the future."
