Explore Consulting Introduces the NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline

Explore Consulting, the leading NetSuite Solution Provider and leader in on-demand technologies, announced today the launch of their NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline. This latest addition to Explore's CloudConnect(TM) integration platform provides pre-built connectivity to allow for seamless automated data exchange between NetSuite and ChannelOnline.

ChannelOnline is a sales-cycle automation solution that's designed to give small to medium-size computer hardware and software resellers all of the operational advantages of their large competitors - empowering them to maximize margins, increase revenues, as well as increase customer satisfaction. ChannelOnline provides resellers with a web-based service that automates key business processes and transactions, giving resellers total management control over the complete sales cycle.

NetSuite customers can now leverage the robust functionality of ChannelOnline's Quoting functionality without all of the duplicate data entry and manual order management. Quotes completed in ChannelOnline are automatically sent to NetSuite to be fulfilled and billed, while order updates are sent back to ChannelOnline to streamline their shipping process and reduce the time it takes to bill and collect payments. Both credit cards and invoicing on terms are supported within NetSuite. Notifications are automatically sent to sales representatives as order status changes, which allows them to be more proactive in their client communications with regards to shipping information, shipment accuracy and billing.

"With CloudConnect, you don't just get a product. You get a complete integration solution with white glove service," said Steve Jones, CEO of Explore Consulting. "The NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline represents our commitment to not only providing leading integration solutions in the cloud, but facilitating specific business requirements beyond simply passing data from system to system."

Explore has successfully deployed the NetSuite Connector for CNET ChannelOnline for GHA Technologies, a nationally expanding network, computer reseller and systems integrator who currently utilizes Explore's CloudConnect(TM) integration platform. "Explore's subject matter expertise with NetSuite is unmatched and their entire Professional Services team has always acted with a sense of urgency and been committed when service and delivery count," said George Hertzberg, President and Founder of GHA Technologies. The results of connecting CNET and NetSuite with CloudConnect(TM) include tripling annual sales from $29 million to $75 million without increasing staff, eliminating the need to hire additional bookkeepers saving at least $180,000 annually, and greater visibility into accounts receivable allowing enforcement of "strict net 30" policies.

CloudConnect(TM) is the most complete software-as-a-service (SaaS) integration solution available in the market, allowing you to connect virtually any external data source to NetSuite including ERP applications, CRM applications, file systems, middleware, web services or any external database on a completely hosted and managed service in the cloud. Solutions start at only $500 per month with full multi-system communication, robust staging, error handling, notifications and a scheduler. An enterprise solution is also available with additional features including dashboard management with role-based security. Once deployed, the solution is hosted in an industry-leading data center with a 99.9% network uptime guarantee and it is managed by the same team that developed the integration solution providing the highest possible level of ongoing support.
