Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet Another Customer Success Story
"Explore has been the consummate partner and extension of our executive team as we launched our company on NetSuite and prepared for an innovative offering to our market. Our team has been involved with dozens of IT development and consulting projects in several companies (both small start ups and large publicly traded conglomerates); we have been very impressed with the level of service, knowledge, and professionalism of the Explore team and are looking forward to utilizing (i.e. leaning on) them as we exit our launch phase and enter into the rapid growth phase of our new company."

- Michael Thomas, President & CEO, Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet, LLC
Customer Spotlight: Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet
Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet “That should be in every mommy’s medicine cabinet.” With this simple statement, the concept of Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet was born. As parents of three children, founders Priscilla and Mike Thomas knew that having a sick child affects the entire family. They also knew that this is especially true when your basic family medicines are either expired or not in the medicine cabinet at all. Priscilla and Mike envisioned a comprehensive kit of commonly used over-the-counter medicines that moms could rely on being there, ready to go, when their children were sick or injured. In addition, they wanted to offer notifications to their customers in the event a product they purchased was about to expire or had been recalled.

Mommy’s Medicine Cabinet selected NetSuite for its fully integrated ERP, CRM, and webstore system needs. They turned to Explore Consulting to help with branding, design, and implementation as well as many other logistical aspects such as parcel carrier selection and setting up shipping label printers. Explore’s agile implementation methodology accommodated evolving model needs and changes while our deep NetSuite experience helped tailor a custom solution that supported their unique requirements

Featured Case Study
GigaPan Systems - Automated License Key Generation for NetSuite

Background
GigaPan Systems makes unique camera mounts that allow users to take gigapixel panoramic pictures using most point and shoot digital cameras. The company sells a package which includes both physical hardware (the camera mount) and their stitching software, the combination of which enables users to take incredibly high-quality and high-resolution pictures.

Issue:
GigaPan’s product required the combination of their camera mount and the Stitching software. The purchase of the camera mount entitled the user to two license keys for installation of the stitching software. Any additional copies of the software would have to be purchased from GigaPan. The license keys needed to be tied to the specific serial number of the device sold in order to work properly. Complicating matters, customers could purchase the GigaPan solution through a variety of sources. This meant GigaPan would not always know the serial number of the device sold to the customer, or that a device was sold to the customer in the first place. GigaPan, therefore, required a solution that would allow for the automated distribution of license keys to customers; that would tie the distributed license key to the serial number of the product the customer had purchased; and that would provide validation and audit capabilities to prevent fraud.

Adding Custom Categories & Links to Standard NetSuite Tabs

NetSuite’s “tab” browsing provides an intuitive organization of data for users. Customers, Transactions, CRM Records, and configuration options are all intuitively grouped within an appropriately named tab, with different groupings for different Roles and Centers.

With the release of NetSuite’s version 2010.2, users can now add their own Categories and Links directly into the standard NetSuite tabs, allowing for a seamless integration of base functionality and custom elements within the same intuitive interface. For example, I may want to give my Sales Team access to a series tools such as links to external resources, saved searches, or other valuable resources. Rather than configuring dashboards, these links can be added directly to the Customers tab in the Sales Center. Continued…
