PET INDUSTRY TURNS TO NETSUITE CLOUD

NetSuite media release


Pet Retailers, Manufacturers and Distributors Rely on NetSuite to Run End-to-end Business Operations and Expand Omnichannel Sales

 

MANILA, Philippines — August 12, 2013—NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financialsERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced new customer wins in the pet goods sector, a $55.5 billion industry in the U.S. alone1 . The new wins announced today include fast-growing companies like Dog is Good, Happy Jack, Pup-Pee Solutions, Ruffwear and Pet Lifestyle And You (P.L.A.Y). These companies have replaced disparate and outdated on-premise systems with NetSuite's single integrated suite of business management software, providing omnichannel B2B and B2C sales, financials, inventory and order management, manufacturing and CRM functionality, allowing these organizations to improve efficiency and deliver a superior customer experience.

 

Pet goods companies running NetSuite report that they are growing revenues, optimizing inventory management, dramatically improving productivity, building stronger customer and partner relationships, and expanding B2B and B2C sales channels atop the NetSuite SuiteCommerce platform. SuiteCommerce addresses key omnichannel challenges and delivers critical business advantages, including a 360-degree view into customer relationships, real-time data visibility and analytics, real-time inventory management, a dynamic web storefront, efficient order management, and multi-language and multi-website management. NetSuite will be at the SuperZoo pet industry trade show in Las Vegas this week, hosted by the World Pet Association and attended by pet retailers and suppliers from more than 50 countries. For more information, please visit www.netsuite.com/superzoo.

 

With NetSuite, pet goods merchants are better able to serve their customers through anytime, anywhere access to real-time information on sales, profitability, inventory, suppliers, B2B and B2C customers, and more. By eliminating the high capital expenditures and unproductive, ongoing IT maintenance and troubleshooting required with in-house systems in favor of the NetSuite cloud, pet goods companies are channeling resources into delivering innovative and quality products, expanding into new markets and delivering a superior omnichannel customer experience across their websites, call centers, direct sales and other touchpoints. NetSuite's integrated suite makes real-time business information available on-demand, driving informed business decisions and eliminating the delays and inefficiency of piecing together data from disjointed applications and relying on spreadsheets to cobble together fragile business views, as is typical in on-premise environments. With NetSuite, distributors and manufacturers of products for dogs, cats and other family members—are able to:

·         Improve supply chain operations with integrated inventory and order management, and build demand forecasts with real-time data, reducing excess inventory or the risk of stock outs.

·         Provide a real-time, 360-degree view of the business by seamlessly integrating financials / ERP, CRM and Ecommerce, empowering businesses to manage their interactions directly with consumers, other businesses and trading partners.

·         Allow data to flow seamlessly to wholesale distributors and their trading partners, to ensure communication is in lockstep with the same data, audit trails and real-time accuracy at every stage.

·         Let stakeholders share container, pallet, location, forecasting, scheduling and unit-level data while collaborating on a common cloud platform.

·         Manage all transactions and associated customer interactions regardless of touchpoint.

"NetSuite customers in the pet goods industry are no longer losing out on growth opportunities in fragmented environments of stovepiped applications," said Roman Bukary, NetSuite VP and GM of Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution. "We're gratified to see so many pet goods companies thrive in the pet goods sector by taking advantage of the benefits of cloud ERP, CRM and Ecommerce."

 

The expanding NetSuite customer base of pet goods retailers and manufacturers includes:

 

Dog is Good (www.dogisgood.com), a Los Alamitos, Calif.-based merchant of canine-themed t-shirts, coffee mugs, art, gifts and more for dog lovers, has dramatically improved business efficiency and productivity since implementing NetSuite in the Fall of 2012 to replace QuickBooks, ProStores, ShipWorks, Brandboom and other disparate systems. Dog is Good, founded in 2008, leverages NetSuite for sales force automation that has helped increase the number of retailers stocking Dog is Good products to several hundred in the U.S. and Canada; and for financials, inventory management and fulfillment from its California warehouse, NetSuite SuiteCommerce powers Dog is Good's B2C store and B2B portal, enabling retail buyers to order products, access discount pricing, and more, in a password-protected environment. Dog is Good is saving at least 20 hours a month compared to its previous manual order management and fulfillment processes, while a process to calculate sales commissions and royalties has been reduced from seven hours to 1.5 hours. By switching to a cloud-based solution, Dog is Good has eliminated the expense and headaches of its previous multi-vendor environment. "With NetSuite, everything is tied together," said Dog is Good Co-founder Jon Kurtz. "Our order management and inventory are in real-time, and we do not need to manually enter orders into QuickBooks. We're poised for growth with NetSuite and no matter how big we get, I know we'll never have to add infrastructure or invest in another system."

 

Happy Jack (www.happyjackinc.com), a manufacturer of animal health products in Snow Hill, N.C., has revolutionized its business operations since installing NetSuite in 2004 to replace an antiquated, custom-built MS-DOS application with limited functionality that resulted in numerous paper-based processes. Selected over a competing Everest Software application, NetSuite has given Happy Jack breakthrough efficiency, visibility and control over a complex mix of inventory components sourced from more than 800 suppliers that go into its products to treat fleas and ticks, worms, ear and skin maladies, and more. Happy Jack can track inventory at the item level in real time and better understand costs to optimize pricing, while NetSuite helps the company streamline production at about 12 U.S outsourced manufacturers as well as internal assembly processes. The solution also improves Happy Jack's compliance with federal and state regulations governing medicines, such as strengthening product recall readiness with on-demand data on product lots, shipment dates and buyers. Since going live, Happy Jack has increased sales by about 40 percent and expanded its channel to 3,000 dealer locations in the U.S. while running three SuiteCommerce-based webstores that draw from a single data set, including the www.kennelvax.com direct-to-consumer site. "NetSuite has revolutionized our business on every level," said Manning Exum, Happy Jack Chief Operations Officer. "What used to take us hours, from hunting down an invoice to even entering orders, can now be done in minutes. NetSuite is a constantly evolving and improving system, and I don't know what we'd do without it."

 

Pet Lifestyle And You (P.L.A.Y.) (www.petplay.com), a San Francisco-based maker of high-quality dog beds, toys and accessories, has achieved 70 percent year-over-year growth since it launched its business on NetSuite in 2010. The company co-founder, Will Chen, a former management consultant, knew about the growing pains of a small company built on a collection of disparate on-premise solutions, which is why after comparing NetSuite to SAP, Oracle and Zoho, P.L.A.Y. selected NetSuite for its centralized platform that efficiently accommodates any degree of business growth without the need for a costly and disruptive overhaul in several years.

 

P.L.A.Y relies on NetSuite for financials and payroll, inventory management and fulfillment via a third-party logistics (3PL) provider. P.L.A.Y. is also leveraging NetSuite Order Management for Magento to process orders coming from its Magento-powered B2C Ecommerce site. With NetSuite, P.L.A.Y. has rapidly grown to 500 retail store partners in North America and a dozen international distributor partnerships across Europe, Asia and Canada, while NetSuite CRM supports the lead-to-cash cycle and sales analytics. "NetSuite is excellent because it offers a holistic solution with almost all the functionality our company could need," Chen said. "Scalability is an outstanding aspect of the NetSuite solution—it's intuitive and easy to use, and as long as I have the Internet, I can run my business from anywhere. That's a huge advantage of running our business in the cloud."

 

Pup-Pee Solutions (www.thepetloo.com), founded in Australia in 2003, is a leading provider of pet waste management products with its Pet Loo brand. It scaled a new U.S. business unit from several thousand dollars in revenue to several million after implementing NetSuite in 2010 to run operations in the U.S. and Australia. Selected over Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains and QuickBooks, NetSuite replaced an inefficient MYOB system that offered poor visibility. With NetSuite, order-to-cash processes that used to involve 15 manual steps have been reduced to just three clicks, enabling the company to channel resources into rapid growth. Using NetSuite ERP, CRM and SuiteCommerce for a direct-to-consumer Ecommerce site, the Los Angeles-based Pet Loo expanded its B2B and B2C business to 84 countries and more than 3,000 retail stores while streamlining business processes. "NetSuite significantly increased our productivity while reducing errors in manual labor and data re-entry, and the global business transparency at an executive level with up-to-the-minute information is fantastic," said Tobi Skovron, Pup-Pee Solutions Founder. "There's no way we could have grown as much as we have without NetSuite."

 

Ruffwear (www.ruffwear.com), based in Bend, Ore., a manufacturer and merchant of dog packs, beds, toys, leashes and other gear, has been able to focus on its core competency of designing and developing innovative dog gear without worrying about servers and on-premise software since implementing NetSuite in 2005 to replace FileMaker Pro. With the ability to make data-driven business decisions, Ruffwear has seen steady revenue while expanding sales across a direct-to-consumer webstore, international distributors in about 30 countries and a retail network that includes REI, Altrec, Bass Pro Shops and Amazon. Ruffwear has leveraged the customizability available with NetSuite SuiteCommerce to offer customers a visually striking and richly functional shopping experience, with a self-service portal for B2B merchants. Ruffwear also takes advantage of solutions for enhanced shipping from NetSuite partner Oz Development to extend the platform to meet unique business needs. "NetSuite gave us instant access to valuable best practices to help us restructure the workflow of our back office," said Ruffwear President Will Blount.

Skyscanner reveals Pinoys’ favorite European destinations


Site shows 53% increase in online flight search to Europe


Next stop, Europe!

Leading flight search engine, Skyscanner has recently reported an increase by 53% in flight search to European destinations this year. Following the decision to lift the ban on Philippine Airlines by unanimous votes among the European Commission’s 28 member states, Skyscanner also revealed top destinations of choice among Filipinos.

Topping the list of most searched destination is the United Kingdom.  With an estimated Filipino population of 200,000 in 2007, UK has been a favourite destination not only for its rich culture and castles but also for the visiting families of Filipinos working there.

Coming in second is Germany, famous for its rich culture, mouth-watering cuisine and people who know and love a good party. In fact, Filipinos travelling this great country date back to the 19th century and our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal is one of them.

Filipino’s penchant for fashion, food and discovering interesting spots made Italy the third on the list.

“We Pinoys love to shop, eat and go sight-seeing. So a country that offers all these definitely plays a part when we decide to travel,” Janet Ranola, Skyscanner Philippines Manager explains. “Plus the fact that a lot of Filipinos are working and are scattered in Europe, flying at cheaper rates is great news indeed,” Ranola added.

“Now that Filipino travelers can fly to Europe without having to catch connecting flights and such, I think online search and inquiries to more European destinations will increase” Ranola concluded.

Other destinations that made the top 10 list are France, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Ireland and Switzerland.

Premiering in Asia on Monday, August 5 at 9pm exclusively on HBO and HBO HD,

THE NEWSROOM follows a high-rated cable-news program, “News Night”, at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) Network on their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of a fickle audience, but the news stories covered are often actual past news events or stories which have been inspired by them.

Beginning a year later from where we had left off in season one, this nine-episode second season covers the period from August 2011 to November 2012, and touches on the administration’s anti-terrorism policy, Occupy Wall Street, Troy Davis, Trayvon Martin, Benghazi and, the primaries and general election. The second season begins in the days leading up to Election Night 2012, when the “News Night” staff is being prepared to give depositions in a lawsuit — the circumstances of which unfold throughout the season. A mysterious tip has led to the airing of a story with consequences no one could have anticipated.

In addition to Golden Globe nominee Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer who star as news anchor Will McAvoy and the show’s executive producer Mackenzie McHale, respectively, other returning cast regulars include John Gallagher, Jr. as Jim Harper, Mackenzie’s loyal producer, currently covering the Romney campaign; Alison Pill as associate producer Maggie Jordan; Thomas Sadoski as Don Keefer, Will’s former executive producer; Dev Patel as resourceful self-made newsman Neal Sampat; Olivia Munn as financial news analyst Sloan Sabbith; and Sam Waterston as Charlie Skinner, Will’s old-school boss.

Returning guests for season two include Oscar® winner Jane Fonda as Leona Lansing, the CEO of ACN’s parent company, Atlantis World Media; and Hope Davis as gossip columnist Nina Howard.

New to the guest cast are Oscar® winner Marcia Gay Harden as Rebecca Halliday, a lawyer hired to defend ACN staffers in its wrongful-termination case; Hamish Linklater as Jerry Dantana, who temporarily replaces Jim when he leaves to cover the Romney campaign; Grace Gummer as Hallie Shea, a reporter competing with Jim on the Romney campaign; and Constance Zimmer as Taylor Warren, a Romney campaign press spokesperson who questions the coverage her campaign is getting from the media.

THE NEWSROOM was created by Aaron Sorkin (Oscar® winner for writing “The Social Network,” executive producer and creator of the multiple Emmy® awards winner “The West Wing”). The first season of THE NEWSROOM received two Golden Globe nominations, for Best Television Series – Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama (Jeff Daniels).

The second season of the smart, thought- provoking and highly entertaining HBO Original series THE NEWSROOM premieres on Monday, August 5 at 9pm on HBO / HBO HD. Brand new episodes air weekly at the same time.

CONGRATULATIONS JONATHAN YABUT!


He has all the right attributes, criteria and passion, says Mark Lankester


KUALA LUMPUR, 1 August 2013 – Filipino Jonathan Yabut who emerged winner of The Apprentice Asia reality television show on AXN has all the right attributes and criteria to be part of Tony Fernandes’ AirAsia-Tune Group business enterprises, said one of Tony’s advisors on the programme, Mark Lankester.

“Jonathan’s passion, attitude, charisma and team player qualities have been apparent since the commencement. He has shown that not only is he a man of many ideas but most importantly is able to execute them well too in a team environment. Tony, Kathleen and myself were very impressed by this young man and I have no doubt he will thrive within the AirAsia-Tune Group environment,” said Mark in congratulating the 27-year old University of the Philippines economics graduate.

Mark sat on the Board of The Apprentice Asia as an Advisor to Tony, alongside AirAsiaExpedia CEO Kathleen Tan as another Advisor. The weekly show has been airing on AXN to approximately 150 million homes across Asia commencing May 2013 and culminated with the final episode last night.

Dubbed 'The Ultimate Job Interview', The Apprentice Asia was the regional adaptation of the US reality series based on the format created by reality TV guru Mark Burnett (The Voice, Survivor) and produced by Fremantle media Asia. 

Jonathan was selected winner over another finalist contestant, Singaporean Andrea Loh. It was a gruelling, neck-to-neck competition for the two in the final episode, before Tony announced Jonathan as Asia’s first Apprentice who would be hired by AirAsia.

“To be part of the show with amongst the best professional and entrepreneurial young talents across Asia was truly an amazing experience. What made it particularly interesting was as an Advisor you are actually in the midst of all that happens but at a safe distance. That step back allows you to see what's happening around the contestants and the train wrecks which are heading their way,” said Mark of his experience with The Apprentice Asia. 

Mark is the Group CEO of Tune Hotels, an international value hotel brand that started six years ago with its base in Kuala Lumpur. Tune Hotels is part of Tune Group, a lifestyle business conglomerate co-founded by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Dato’ Kamarudin Meranun, who are the Group CEO and Deputy Group CEO respectively of Asia’s largest low cost carrier AirAsia.

"The time spent with the production team and contestants of The Apprentice Asia made it clear to me that we have such great talents and capabilities in Asia and we can take on the world. Tony himself is a highly successful entrepreneur and is a role model to not only the contestants but also the viewers and fans of The Apprentice Asia," he added.

Meanwhile Jonathan, jointly with fellow Filipino contestant Celina Le Neindre hosted a viewing party in Manila last night, which ended as a celebration of Jonathan’s win as Asia’s first Apprentice. They were joined by about 300 friends and fans watching the finale on AXN.

An overjoyed Jonathan said: “Tonight is not about me; it’s about the people who had contributed to make who I am right now. People will eventually forget about Jonathan Yabut but I do not want to forget the people who’ve made me who I am. Life is about sharing a part of you with someone and finding what you had shared grew into something bigger and better.”

“This victory is for each and every Filipino out there. You can never be too small to dream big, because dreams are for free so catch it and seize it while the iron is hot. This victory is for the Philippines and the rest of Asia – the power is ours to make it happen,” said Jonathan to a thunderous applause from the audience.

BUM endorser Daniel Padilla appears in 3 Magazine covers

Bum News Release
 
There’s really no stopping BUM endorser Daniel Padilla from conquering local showbiz.
Just recently, he has proven yet again why he is one of the most desirable bachelors this side of the world.
            This August, the 18-year-old star of ABS-CBN’s upcoming romantic series Got To Believe is on the cover of two different glossies: the college lifestyle magazine Chalk and the entertainment publication YES! Magazine. Prior to appearing in Chalk and YES!, Daniel also headlined the July issue of the male-oriented fashion magazine, Garage, wherein he sported the season’s hottest trend: metallics. 
            Daniel’s triple cover victory is a rare feat for any male celebrity, especially for someone who is relatively new in the business. But from the way he’s getting projects, Daniel, or simply DJ to his legions of fans, looks as though he was born for this kind of superstardom.
            It is quite easy to know why Daniel is so in-demand these days. Aside from having good looks, enigmatic charm, and that unmistakable Padilla swagger, which he probably inherited from his equally famous uncle Robin Padilla, DJ can sing well. In fact, DJ has released two successful Star Records albums, Daniel Padilla in 2012 and DJP in 2013. He also has a sold-out concert called Daniel Padilla Live: A Birthday Concert, at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum to back his music credentials.
            Daniel is edgy, expressive, passionate, and unpredictable. He’s never afraid of showing his true colors or going against the grain. Having Daniel as BUM endorser for 2 years now makes him a sought-after celebrity image model and BUM is proud to have him since 2011. BUM’s Daniel Padilla limited edition shirt Collection is doing well in all BUM outlets nationwide.

            These admirable traits make Daniel Padilla the perfect BUM image model. Both the young actor and the clothing brand seem to share one philosophy, and that is, celebrating individuality. BUM is available in leading department stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.bumequipment.com.ph or like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/bumequip.
