“We're growing fast with NetSuite as a business application that allows us to deal much more effectively with customers and partners than we could with Microsoft Dynamics.” Point6

Customer Success

  • NetSuite supplies a single, integrated platform for growth at the maker of performance-oriented merino wool socks for hiking, running, cycling and other outdoor activities.
  • Point6 has dramatically improved its visibility and efficiency since upgrading from a problematic Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) on-premise system.
  • NetSuite's flexible reporting on real-time data enables Point6 to drill into product sales by variations and customers for better business decisions.
  • Point6 has streamlined transactions with retail partners at hundreds of U.S. locations, including Bass Pro Shops and L.L. Bean, as well as distribution partners operating in 17 countries.
  • NetSuite enables real-time inventory visibility and efficient fulfillment of orders from retail partners as well as consumers through the www.point6.com ecommerce site.
  • Point6 has a single view of B2B and B2C customers to improve sales and service and support targeted marketing campaigns based on purchase history and interests.
  • NetSuite gives Point6 improved capabilities in working with partners who source merino wool from sheep as well as domestic contract manufacturers that produce Point6 socks.
  • Point6 has reduced its total cost of ownership by moving to cloud ERP.

Challenges

  • Point6 experienced serious problems in its ability to efficiently access and report on data from Microsoft Dynamics GP.
  • Third-party IT consultants were frequently engaged to troubleshoot issues with the Microsoft application and implement workarounds.
  • Point6 needed a reliable, accessible system to eliminate high degrees of manual work and enable a focus on growing the business.

Solution

  • Selected over Intacct, NetSuite met Point6’s requirements for an integrated financials, CRM and inventory solution that could scale.
  • Transition to a cloud environment gives Point6 personnel anywhere, anytime data access while eliminating in-house IT infrastructure.
