CHICAGO, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IRCE 2013 -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP software suites, today announced the addition of several new partnerships and partner solutions from its growing ecosystem of ISV partners focused on helping NetSuite customers deliver industry leading omnichannel shopping experiences. Technology innovators, including SeeWhy, Silverpop, Zmags, Mashery, RingRevenue and Birst are leveraging or plan to leverage NetSuite's SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN) to offer complimentary solutions for NetSuite SuiteCommerce–the cloud platform that unifies Ecommerce, point-of-sale (POS) and call center channels with core business systems to deliver a superior customer experience across digital, mobile and physical touchpoints.

With a rich ecosystem of SuiteApp partner add-on applications, SuiteCommerce customers can deliver more robust shopping experiences on the SuiteCommerce platform that meet their unique business needs. The growing ecosystem of SuiteCommerce SuiteApps improves NetSuite's ability to support B2C and B2B merchants, manufacturers and distributors as they increasingly migrate sales, marketing and support to the cloud. Built upon a unified infrastructure that includes a state-of-the-art Webstore, SuiteCommerce customers can now access a single system to manage all transactions across multiple touchpoints, including websites, smartphones, tablets, social media, physical point-of-sale (POS) and call centers. Operating directly on the core NetSuite ERP/CRM business management application, SuiteCommerce is designed to address the limitations and complexity of first-generation, stand-alone commerce systems that are typically focused on only a single transaction channel. This allows merchants to streamline business processes, find new customers and strengthen existing relationships with richly interactive and intuitive shopping experiences and integrated marketing tools.

"NetSuite's partnerships with SuiteCommerce ISVs are designed to give merchants added flexibility and functional depth to transform cross-channel commerce and meet the many demands of the connected customer," said Raghu Gnanasekaran, Senior Director, Business Development, NetSuite. "Through the SuiteCloud Developer Network, SuiteCommerce users have a complete, unified environment to capitalize on tremendous commerce opportunities to drive revenue and enhance customer relationships on a global scale."

Some of the many NetSuite technology partners who are currently delivering, or planning to develop new SuiteApps to support and enrich the SuiteCommerce platform include:

Shopping Cart Recovery

SeeWhy Conversion Manager provides the ability to recover lost sales by triggering real-time email and social media remarketing campaigns designed to remind and incentivize visitors to return and purchase, increasing revenue fast. "Seven out of every 10 visitors who place items in their shopping cart don't complete the transaction, making shopping cart abandonment a persistent problem for Ecommerce sites," said SeeWhy President and CEO Scott G. Silk. "We're delighted to currently offer SuiteCommerce customers a proven solution that can recapture and convert up to 50 percent of website abandoners with real-time, automated remarketing."

The Zmags platform is used by leading retailers to deliver an immersive digital environment that invites discovery, deepens engagement, streamlines purchasing directly from a page and increases ROI. "Shoppers are more discriminating and info-overloaded than ever, meaning that retail websites need to stand out from the crowd and offer a rich and interactive experience," said Scott Bleczinski, Zmags President.
