NetSuite B2B Portal
Netsuite B2B Portal eCommerce Sites - The Ultimate Guide
NetSuite Customization
What is a B2B Portal?
In 2022, the modern customer demands a feature-rich online customer portal experience.
NetSuite customers these days are stuck between building a robust eCommerce site themselves or licensing the expensive and inflexible SuiteCommerce Advanced, SuiteCommerce Standard or SuiteCommerce MyAccount. The other alternative is buying an off the shelf web store product that is separate from their NetSuite ERP. This hurts their ability to efficiently deliver single platform solutions for their customers and forces them to manage costly integration.
NetSuite is the single source of record to streamline customer data, inventory levels, order statuses and helps their users deliver on new channels and service experiences. Buying a customer portal technology separate from NetSuite reduces the benefits of a company using NetSuite’s software. It cuts off their real time visibility, reduces service experience and keeps them from having faster issue resolution.
