NetSuite for CPG and Retail
Situation at A leading Electric Bike Manufacturer
A leading electric bike manufacturer and retailer was experiencing rapid growth and scaling faster than ever to change the way people and goods move.
The company had been using NetSuite as its primary Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and while satisfied with the overall performance of the solution, the client identified opportunities for further enhancement of NetSuite and greater optimization of its Supply Chain Management (SCM) processes.
The client faced challenges in executing this vision with NetSuite and its integration platform, Celigo. They needed a flexible and skilled NetSuite partner to provide specialized capabilities and serve as an extension of their team.
The AST team has consistently been able to flex up and down to meet our changing needs ever since we first partnered with them. Their work is integral to aid in the execution of our strategic initiatives. They are excellent to work with and we always know they are there when we need them.”
