Multiple E-commerce Channels For NetSuite

ChannelAdvisorChannelAdvisor Marketplace
  The ChannelAdvisor Connector for NetSuite has been critical to our ecommerce operation.  As a mulit-channel seller of consumer electronics products, it allows us to leverage the benefits of our eBay and Amazon sales channels with our back-end fulfillment, accounting, and customer service hosted by Netsuite.  We have had very few problems with the integration, and when we do, Celigo is very responsive to resolve any issues we may have.

  The seamless integration of our inventory, financial data, and order management between NetSuite to ChannelAdvisor is absolutely critical to the success of our business. Our business has been built in a fast-paced,  multi-channel environment, which puts stress on maintaining accurate inventories, updated order and customer information, and timely and precise financial data.     Previously we struggled with these issues, however since our switch to the Celigo Connector these issues have all but disappeared. The Celigo Connector between these two platforms simply works. Thank you Celigo!

Features

Celigo's ChannelAdvisor Connector for NetSuite doesn't just let you automate the flow of data between ChannelAdvisor MarketplaceAdvisor and NetSuite. It also lets you manage and monitor the integration directly from within your NetSuite account! This is possible because the ChannelAdvisor Connector was built using the Celigo Integrator, which is Celigo's proprietary integration platform that allows NetSuite users to manage external integrations without ever having to leave the NetSuite application. And since the Celigo Integrator has been used by numerous companies in integrating NetSuite with various external applications, including other ecommerce platforms like Amazon Marketplace and Yahoo! Stores (i.e., Yahoo! Merchant Solutions), then you know that you are using a proven and reliable solution for integrating ChannelAdvisor and NetSuite.

NetSuite User Interface

The ChannelAdvisor Connector provides a familiar NetSuite user interface that is deployed directly in your NetSuite account using NetSuite's SuiteBundler, and uses a combination of Suitelets, SuiteScripts, custom portlets, alerts, and other features that make for a rich user experience. So managing the ChannelAdvisor and NetSuite integration doesn't require you to learn how to use or maintain an entirely new 3rd party application; everything you need to know about the ChannelAdvisor-NetSuite integration will be available in either your ChannelAdvisor account, or in your NetSuite account.

Configuration & Mapping

Fulfillment MappingThe mapping of data fields from a ChannelAdvisor record type to a NetSuite record type is achieved through an intuitive user interface within your NetSuite account. This includes the ability to map custom fields, hierarchical data types, etc. This interface allows business users to make changes to the integration without having to make changes to the code. For example, if ChannelAdvisor introduces a new field on the sales order record, this field can easily be mapped to a standard or custom field in the NetSuite sales order record type with a few clicks.

Monitoring

Fulfillment DashboardMonitor every aspect of this integration from the context of a single NetSuite dashboard—one page offering complete visibility including custom portlets, KPIs, meters, and graphs. Integration activity is logged directly inside NetSuite with the ability to specify summary or detailed logging. The summary logging occurs at the job level, capturing the details of the import/export. The detailed logging occurs at the record level, and includes the ability to click through from the summary.

No time to keep track of everything?  Enable email alerts to watch for integration failures and checkpoints, or schedule a report to keep track of your integration’s throughput. With a few clicks, administrators can configure these alerts to suit the needs of their enterprise.

Celigo will monitor and support the Connector to ensure that it runs uninterrupted, including ensuring that it will always be compatible with NetSuite and ChannelAdvisor updates. When either application makes an update, the Connector will be automatically updated as well (if needed) to fix any problems in a proactive manner.  Updates also occur immediately upon discovery of a problem. Additionally, the subscription entitles you to receive the latest version of the Connector automatically when it becomes available, ensuring that you benefit from new and improved features.
