Scott Silk, CEO, SeeWhy comments: "Consumers are short of time and often shop on the move, meaning that they can easily forget about purchases or abandon them in favour of a competitor's website. Our partnership with NetSuite means that retailers can capture these consumers before they buy from another retailer's webstore, while NetSuite SuiteCommerce ensures that these orders are automatically integrated into back-end systems including inventory and fulfillment, ensuring that customers receive their purchases on time and as ordered."

NetSuite's solution ensures that all customers' orders are automatically processed and sent to the appropriate warehouse location or drop-shipper based on available inventory and geography and MetaPack ensures that the order can be collected, dispatched or delivered to anywhere whilst providing full visibility to all."
