Use case · Retail & Ecommerce

Run point of sale natively on NetSuite — no nightly sync

Most retailers bolt a separate POS onto their ERP and reconcile overnight. That gap drives overselling, blind store managers, and hours of manual cleanup. SphericalBRM POS writes every transaction to NetSuite the moment it happens.

The challenge

When the register and the ERP are different systems, stock is always a step behind. In-store inventory accuracy sits well below what omnichannel promising requires, so online and in-store counts drift apart — and customers feel it.
