A Complex, Outdated System Hindering Growth

Essco faced a significant challenge in its eCommerce operations. As a company with a large product catalog and a growing customer base, their existing digital infrastructure was struggling to keep up. They relied on a disjointed system that caused inefficiencies in order processing, inventory management, and customer experience.
 
With an outdated website and an eCommerce platform that lacked the necessary integrations, Essco encountered frequent operational bottlenecks. Manual processes slowed down order fulfillment, customer service teams were burdened with handling return requests manually, and the lack of real-time inventory visibility led to frequent stockouts. These inefficiencies not only increased operational costs but also impacted customer satisfaction, making it harder for Essco to scale effectively.

Evaluating the Options: Seeking a Scalable, Integrated Solution

Understanding the need for a more efficient and scalable solution, Essco began exploring platforms that could seamlessly integrate with NetSuite, their core ERP system. They required a solution that could automate key processes, provide a seamless customer experience, and enhance backend operations without disrupting their business.
 
After evaluating multiple options, they realized that most solutions either lacked deep NetSuite integration or required extensive custom development, which would be costly and time-consuming. What Essco needed was a solution that could provide both robust eCommerce functionality and effortless integration with NetSuite, ensuring real-time data synchronization across their sales, inventory, and fulfillment processes.
