NetSuite Inc announced that manufacturer Asahi Kasei Spandex America Inc has automated its key back-office operations — from accounting to inventory management to procurement to sales order management to financial reporting.
With NetSuite, AKSA is now running its ERP on NetSuite with more flexibility and simplicity at a much lower cost than required by its previous SAP software. In fact, AKSA estimates that it has achieved significant cost savings while at the same time adding enhanced functionality to help meet the complex needs of its business.
The costs savings include reduced or eliminated costs of hardware, remote access and third party consultants. Asahi Kasei Spandex America Inc is a subsidiary of Asahi Kasei, a corporation headquartered in Japan.
With US headquarters in Charleston, S.C., AKSA develops and produces brand fibers of outstanding quality for nearly all fields of applications of textile production. Known for its Roica & Dorlastan brands, which are woven into fabrics used around the world, AKSA requires the flexibility to match its customers' needs in the dynamic and highly cost competitive textile industry.
In order to keep pace with the textile industry, AKSA needed to run its complex business smoothly with a lean and nimble team and relatively little overhead costs. NetSuite, with its deep functionality and software as a service (SaaS) delivery model, became an obvious choice.
With NetSuite, AKSA has achieved the detail and transparency in customer analysis and financial reporting it desired to manage its business in a timely fashion. Additionally, NetSuite has helped the company dramatically reduce its IT costs including consultant fees and infrastructure.
Founded in 1998, NetSuite Inc is the leading provider of on-demand, integrated business management software for small and midsize businesses. With thousands of customers globally using NetSuite's online products and professional services, companies are enabled to manage all key business operations — in a single hosted system, including: customer relationship management (CRM); order fulfillment; inventory; accounting and finance, product assembly; ecommerce; Web site management; and employee productivity.
