"Econo Box Co. needed to print and analyze volume based pricing. After making several calls to various solution providers and hearing over and over it was not possible, I was referred to Explore who was the only partner that had the technical expertise to make the project happen... Explore saved us money by delivering a solution that met our needs, was simple to use and was within our budget..."

Another Customer Success Story
Integrating CNET's Channel Online with NetSuite
"As the Accounting Manger for GHA Technologies I was responsible for finding a way to integrate CNET's Channel Online with NetSuite, our accounting software. Integrating these two programs would save a lot of time and money for GHA, our sales force and our accounting department. NetSuite referred me to a few different companies that would be able to assist us with this integration project. I contacted Explore Consulting and from the moment we started working with them, we found them to be extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. If we had a question or concern they took care of it. The NetSuite / Channel Online integration project went smoothly and I owe a large part of that to Explore Consulting."

Featured Case Study
Drop Ship PO Numbers Displayed on Picking Tickets
Background: Paramount Lighting is an international full service wholesale lighting distribution firm that provides innovative technologies and products to the lighting fixtures and supplies industry.
Issue: Paramount often receives orders in which part or all of the order will require Drop-Ship Purchase Orders. They wanted the PO number of these Drop Ship orders to be displayed on the Picking Ticket for each line item. This would provide the fulfillment center with an indication that part of the order was being shipped separately, as well as a simple means of referencing the relevant information necessary to track the status of the order. The functionality to port the addition of the PO number for a specific line item on Picking Tickets was not standard in NetSuite, meaning a custom field and SuiteScript were required to solve this problem.
Resolution: Explore created a custom column field that would be hidden on the Sales Order. We then wrote a custom server-side SuiteScript that would check to see whether the PO was created from an existing Sales Order record. If the PO was created from an existing Sales Order record, the script updates the custom column field on all matching line items of the Sales Order with the PO# that was just created.
Results: Fulfillment center employees can now reference a PO number from the Picking Ticket rather than searching in NetSuite for the Order number and then tracking down the PO to determine its status, thus allowing Paramount Lighting's workflow to be significantly more efficient, saving them time and money.

Increase Your Exposure Through Website Product Feeds
You can increase the exposure of your Web site and items by exporting lists of items to Web site comparison search engines, Yahoo Shopping, NexTag, Shopzilla, Shopping.com and Froogle. These search engines display your items and information in shoppers' search results. For example, if you sell printers in your Web store, you can export information about the printers to Froogle. Then, when shoppers search Froogle for printers, your printers that match their search criteria show in the list of results. Shoppers can see an image of the item, get pricing information and click to open the item in your web store.
In order to provide information specific to these sites, optional fields have been added to the following item records: Kit/Package, Non-inventory Item for Sale, Non-inventory Item for Resale, Assembly (lot and serialized), Inventory (lot and serialized).
Enter information in these fields before exporting your item lists. You can use direct list-editing to quickly enter this information on your items list.

Once you have entered the information into your NetSuite items, you then export the item lists:
- Go to Setup > Web Site > Product Feeds.
- Click the name of the comparison engine you want to export to.
- A list of your online items appears showing only the fields required for the comparison engine you chose.
- Click Export.
*Click image to enlarge
The final step is to upload your exported item lists to each of the search engines, which require you to have an account set up with them.
