Cute dog alert (watch out Amazon…this one’s after you….)

Cute dog alert (watch out Amazon…this one’s after you….)

There are many challenges distribution companies face, but one topic of conversation refuses to quieten down. The importance of delivering seamless online customer experiences so that the customers you have spent a small fortune trying to win, remain with you …… and even better-become super fans. With the evergreen threat of Amazon Business (read our recent blog post here on that) showing no signs of slowing down, it is key that distribution companies of any type must become truly agile and deliver on high customer expectations (whilst keeping an eye on pricing and the bottom line).

So with that in mind, we wanted to tell you a really uplifting story about a British startup from the Princes Trust www.petshop.co.uk, and how they went from a bedroom business to becoming an agile disruptor in their space.  Petshop.co.uk are a nationwide pet food home delivery service selling all the favourite pet food brands to pet parents across the UK and Europe.  They specialise in a subscription service but also ad hoc deliveries shipped directly to customers doors in just 24 hours. They were quick to adopt NetSuite early on in their startup the journey and pre NetSuite their customer retention rate sat at around 50%, post-NetSuite it’s climbing towards 80%.  Putting the customer first means they can realistically compete with Amazon – a threat not to be taken lightly as in just one year Amazon Business reached $1 billion in sales and it’s rising.

Husband and wife team Adam and Lexi understood early on that putting their customers first and building a solid experience around them would mean they stood a chance of not just surviving the Amazon effect, but thriving from it – and buying NetSuite was the foundation for them.

“NetSuite has has been instrumental to us, its like having another couple of employees all within one system – it’s been great – Lexi Finance Director
