About CP Lighting

  • It offers a wide range of LED lighting products, including lamps, bulbs, tubes, and lighting components.

CP Lighting & NetSuite

  • Before integrating BigCommerce with NetSuite, CP Lighting faced challenges with order delays, inaccurate stock levels, and scattered customer data. 
  • Folio3’s NetSuite BigCommerce Connector automated these processes to synchronize orders, inventory, and pricing in real time. 
  • The integration also included custom features for group-specific pricing, backorder handling, and automated payment processing.

Summary

Folio3 integrated Door County Coffee's Walmart account with NetSuite using the Folio3
CP Lighting wanted to integrate their BigCommerce eCommerce platform with their NetSuite ERP using Folio3’s NetSuite BigCommerce Connector. This integration was done to automate the synchronization of sales orders, inventory, customer data, and shipping information between BigCommerce and NetSuite. In addition to the standard integration, the project included several customizations including sync of customer group-specific pricing and managing backorders, so the company could better handle unique sales processes.

The Challenges

  • Order management was slow and error-prone, leading to delays in order fulfillment and reduced customer satisfaction.
  • Maintaining accurate inventory levels across multiple platforms was challenging, causing overselling and stockouts.
  • Customer data was scattered, making it difficult to deliver personalized service or run targeted marketing campaigns.
  • Managing group-specific pricing was inefficient due to the lack of a centralized system.
  • Manual payment processing increased the chances of errors and delayed financial reporting.
  • Limited reporting capabilities restricted visibility into sales performance and inventory status.

  • Import Customers from BigCommerce to NetSuite.
