"We’re extremely pleased to see our significant investment pay off so dramatically in such a short time,” said Zach Nelson, CEO of NetSuite. "We’ve achieved great traction in the Canadian market and look forward to bringing more enterprise customers and resellers on board in the coming months.”
NetSuite also announced today new Canadian customer wins from a wide range of industries. These customers include Casalife, Warehouse Direct, GILL Technologies, WinCruise, Canadian Model Trains and Nightingale Informix Corporation.
“NetSuite expands as we expand,” said Rob
Whitfield, Partner, Casalife (www.casalife.com), a furniture
retailer based in Toronto. “We're adding new products
all the time. We enter them into NetSuite once and we're
all done – the Web Store handles the rest, allowing
us to quickly update our website with very little effort.
It is saving us $30,000 [CAD] a month in salaries. In
addition, the multi-currency feature of NetSuite CRM+
is allowing us to buy overseas without any currency
issues whatsoever, allowing us to do even more business.
We love it."
"Warehouse Direct has a third-party relationship
with thousands of people and companies, and using NetSuite
CRM+ for partner relationship management will be a key
to our success," said Bill Bayles, President of
Brockville, ON –based Warehouse Direct (www.warehousedirect.ca),
a company that supplies and drop ships products for
online sales and contest winners across Canada and the
U.S. "In addition, we plan to use NetSuite for
quotes, order management, offline client, and the Web
site. We are growing rapidly, and NetSuite will allow
us to absorb exponential growth with only incremental
staffing increases. Although NetSuite costs about the
same as adding one junior employee, it effectively gives
every one of our existing staff an experienced personal
assistant.”
"With NetSuite, we are able to see a client's entire
picture, from the cost of servicing that client to the
products that have been chosen by the client, and their
payment history and sales notes," said George Gill,
President and CEO, GILL Technologies Global Communications
Inc. (www.gilltechnologies.ca),
based in Peterborough, ON. "And because NetSuite
can be run by the outside sales force as well as the
inside support team, we don't have to go flipping through
multiple systems to find the information. Having a central
repository of all our customer information eliminates
any problem of customers being neglected."
