The cell phone industry has a lot of moving parts. Whether you’re a unit, parts, or accessories distributor or you do cell phone repairs, you’ve got a lot of items to keep track of. Not only do you have to handle all the standard business functions – marketing, sales, accounting, customer management, etc. – but you also have a lot of different kinds of inventory in multiple locations to keep track of.
All these individual functions need managing. But, if you’re trying to lace together an accounting system, marketing software, a CRM, order management software, project management tools AND various inventory management systems, you are going to get buried in the day to day activity. You will be spending all your time and effort trying to run your business instead of moving product, providing top quality service to your customers, and increasing your bottom line.
To help deal with multiple serial numbers, allocation, AND running the day to day business, companies in the cell phone industry across the United States use NetSuite - including VHA Prepaid Wireless!
Overcome Common Challenges Such as:
Inventory Allocation
Inventory constraints can be hard to predict, causing either overstocking and stock-outs.
ESN Tracking
Keeping track of multiple serial numbers without the right inventory controls can be difficult.
Commission Management
The reconciliation process between expectations and actual commissions.
"Consolidating data from various countries with each running different finance systems was quite time consuming; it took two to three days a month to bring all the data together and present current figures. With Concentrus's assistance NetSuite has made that financial consolidation problem go away, now it barely takes half an hour."
