Turn phone-and-email ordering into 24/7 self-service
Your buyers already want to order without picking up the phone. Give them a branded portal backed by live NetSuite data — and take the cost, delay, and errors of manual order entry off your team.
The challenge
Buying behavior has shifted decisively toward digital self-service, but many distributors still run orders through phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets. Every order keyed by hand carries a labor cost and an error rate — and slow, manual ordering pushes buyers toward competitors who make it easy.
By the numbers
The research behind this use case — and where a NetSuite-native experience moves the needle.
Cost to process one order
Manual keying vs. buyer self-service. Lower is better.
Order error rate
Manual entry vs. orders that post straight to NetSuite.
Share of B2B revenue that is digital
The shift is already here — and accelerating.
