SYDNEY, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc.
(NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud financials
/ ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today
announced that Emma & Tom's, a leading Australian producer of
healthy drinks and snacks, has replaced its previous MYOB system
and implemented the JCurve edition* of NetSuite to manage its
mission critical business operations across its entire distribution
supply chain, financials, financial reporting, customer
relationship management (CRM), sales and marketing, order
management and warehouse and inventory management. Since going live
on NetSuite, Emma and Tom's has achieved 30 percent revenue growth
year-over-year and has been able to gain the scalability needed to
manage its fast growing business, which today has 40 distribution
vans delivering to more than 3,000 café and retail customers around
Australia.
Established in 2004, Emma & Tom's adopted the names of its
founders as part of its start-up mentality and ethos around
genuinely personal customer service. That same ethos informed Emma
& Tom's decision to take its entire distribution process
in-house, ensuring utmost quality control for its healthy products
– including smoothies, juices, and snack bars – while also building
stronger relationships with its over 3,000 customers around
Australia. Doing so, however,
required a business and supply chain management platform that could
not only track and monitor these high-volume, high-complexity
operations in real-time, but also scale up to accommodate Emma
& Tom's ambitions to expand operations. Emma & Tom's chose
NetSuite based on its breadth of functionality and scalability –
both of which exceeded those of other platforms while remaining
extremely affordable.
Emma Welsh, CEO of Emma &
Tom's, said, "NetSuite differs from other cloud-based ERP and
accounting platforms because its performance simply overshadows the
rest. The platform not only gives us extremely high flexibility in
how we optimise, integrate, and expand our operations nationally,
but does so with a finesse that ensures the quality of our personal
customer service. We have gone from small start-up to now having 60
people – and we're excited to fuel further growth through
NetSuite."
Graeme Burt, Channel Sales
Director, Asia Pacific and
Japan, NetSuite commented, "Given
the current political focus on innovation, there has never been a
better time for Australian businesses of all sizes to rethink about
how they can effectively scale their business through technology.
Cloud ERP solutions enable local brands like Emma & Tom's to
scale and expand rapidly to stay ahead of the competition, whilst
also staying true to their core values and strengths."
NetSuite can deliver the following features and benefits to Emma
and Tom's:
- Track sales and inventory in real-time, minimising
delays and ensuring customers receive the freshest products
available. Via an Android app, drivers of Emma & Tom's 40
mobile distribution vans input fulfilment updates at every
delivery, which NetSuite then converts into real-time updates of
inventory, stock movements, and profit and loss visibility. These
updates can be viewed by Emma & Tom's five-person management
team via any device – particularly useful given the team's frequent
movements between their four distribution centres in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Sydney.
- Expand product range without increasing operational
complexity. NetSuite tracks multiple inventory locations and
stock lines through a single, integrated viewpoint for Emma &
Tom's staff. As a result, Emma & Tom's has experienced
year-on-year revenue growth of 30 percent since 2013 – a strong
result that has given the company the ability to dedicate more
resources to plan the company's national and global expansion.
- Multiple warehouse management. NetSuite allows Emma and
Tom's to seamlessly track not just its fleet of mobile distribution
vans, but also consolidate and monitor inventory levels across
multiple warehouse locations across Australia.
- Real-time financial reporting speeds up the financial
close.
- Built-in business intelligence that provides real-time
insights into key business performance indicators for a unified
view of the organisation and delivers a single version of
truth.
- A flexible and agile platform. The NetSuite platform
enables Emma and Tom's to customise their requirements by easily
capturing data from new resources like vans and warehouses as and
when these are added to the distribution network.
Stephen Canning, Chief Executive
Officer for JCurve, said, "The JCurve edition of NetSuite lends
itself uniquely to emerging and growing businesses that have high
growth potential and whose operations might otherwise suffer from
added complexity as they expand. For Emma & Tom's, the quality
of those operations directly correlates to how customers experience
the brand. Thanks to NetSuite, Emma & Tom's steadfast
commitment to personal customer service can effectively scale
across new product lines and markets, without any compromise
whatsoever to the product quality that the business has built its
reputation on."
*JCurve edition of NetSuite –allows emerging and growing
businesses to run their entire business on an all-in-one cloud ERP,
bringing together inventory management, financials, CRM, sales and
more.
