Customer Spotlight
Sooth Sooth creates a collection of luxurious and affordable clothing for women and utilizes NetSuite for an integrated solution that provides their clients with an excellent customer experience from shopping online to purchase and ongoing customer service and support.

Sooth was working with another consulting company but was unhappy with the lack of responsiveness and several missed deadlines.

While searching for another resource, they were referred to Explore Consulting by one of our partners. With a website launch scheduled and the busy holiday season approaching, they needed to work with a company that could move quickly and help them meet their design requirements the first time around.

Among other custom suitescripts, Explore Consulting implemented a new button on the shopping cart that dynamically adds gift wrap options to the cart.

We had some difficult requirements beyond NetSuite's basic functionality, and your staff was able to customize our website and accomplish these tasks."

Featured Case Study
Omniture Analytics for NetSuite Web Stores

Background: Prime Time Solutions is an e-commerce company using the NetSuite platform to sell a broad range of products across multiple web sites. Prime Time Solutions leverages the NetSuite Multi-Site functionality for the Web Store to provide distinct branding for each of their e-commerce sites.

Prime Time Solutions (PTS) extensively uses pay-per-click advertising to drive traffic to their site. In order to effectively manage their online marketing budget, PTS uses Omniture as their web analytics provider. Prime Time utilizes the standard Site Catalyst product but also the SearchCenter module as well. The Omniture SearchCenter assists in the forecasting and optimization of search engine marketing results as well as the automating keyword bidding.

Issue: Prime Time Solutions' was implementing NetSuite as their ERP system and moving their classic ASP e-commerce sites into NetSuite. PTS wished to retain their usage of Omniture in the new NetSuite-hosted web sites. In order for the Omniture products to work correctly, transaction data must be passed to Omniture throughout the checkout and confirmation process. In particular, the Omniture SearchCenter requires that margin calculations be performed and passed back after the sales order confirmation. The NetSuite Web Store does not provide this functionality natively and an alternate solution is needed.

Solution: Explore Consulting worked with Prime Time Solutions to develop scripting to accomplish their Omniture integration needs. A combination of SuiteScript code on the web store pages and a Suitelet hosted in NetSuite were used. Cost and margin calculations were handled by the Suitelet with the resulting data passed back to the web store pages as necessary. This strategy allowed calculations to accommodate kit and matrix items as well as standard inventory items.

Results: Prime Time Solutions now has full integration of their Omniture Site Catalyst and SearchCenter solutions with NetSuite multi-site Web Stores. Prime Time is able to closely and effectively manage their pay-per-click campaigns for their sites using SearchCenter.

Elimination Subsidiaries for Consolidated Reporting

When managing and reporting on the activities of multiple consolidated entities, it may be necessary to eliminate revenue or expenses when those companies transact with each other. Intercompany loans, sales, and inventory transfers are all examples of transactions between entities that may require these eliminating entries.

NetSuite provides for the creation of "Elimination Subsidiaries" to which journal entries can be posted to balance consolidated books. After the transaction has posted to the two companies' books, you would create an inter-company journal entry to record the elimination and balance the effect of the transaction.

To set up these elimination subsidiaries:
  1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Subsidiaries > New
  2. Provide a name for this elimination subsidiary, and specify to which parent it relates
  3. Check the "Elimination" checkbox. This will ensure only Journal Entries can post to this subsidiary (it cannot be accidentally selected on transactions)

The new subsidiary shows up in the list of subsidiaries, and is designated as an Elimination Subsidiary.
