Where NetSuite Struggles in Specialty Retail
As complexity increases, retailers often experience:
- Delayed or manual reporting workflows
- Limited store-level operational visibility
- Disconnected POS, warehouse, and eCommerce data
- Heavy Excel dependency for markdown decisions
- Difficulty modeling inventory scenarios across channels
When margin pressure rises, these gaps become expensive.
What Retailers Actually Need
Specialty retailers don’t need to replace NetSuite.
They need to extend it.
That means:
- Direct API-level access to transactional data
- A centralized retail data warehouse
- Role-based reporting for merchandising, finance, and operations
- Real-time sell-through and inventory visibility
- Scenario modeling for pricing and markdown execution
The goal isn’t more data.
It’s faster, trusted decisions.
