Divine Jewelry Another Customer Success Story
"It's been a pleasure working with Explore. We were aiming to design a simple and elegant webstore, and that is exactly what we got. We are very pleased with the web consultant’s design aesthetics and professional conduct. Most importantly, we feel that we can rely on Explore for the long term and not simply for a one-time project."

Esam Mehregani, Managing Member, Divine Jewelry LLC
Customer Spotlight: Divine Jewelry
Divine Jewelry Divine Jewelry has 40 years of experience in providing the highest-quality gold and silver jewelry in various worldwide markets. They believe humanity is as diverse as the colors in a flower garden and that bringing all faiths together in one place was essential. Divine Jewelry found, as many others have, that the Amazon Webstore is a great way to open up a new selling channel.

Being experts in their field, Divine Jewelry knew the value of finding a partner with that same depth of experience. Divine Jewelry turned to Explore to create their site design and build their Amazon Webstore. Explore created a clean and simple design that was easy to navigate and highlighted the quality and uniqueness of their products. In addition to the design, Explore created the marketing banners and assisted with item setup. The result is a site that performs well for customers and Divine Jewelry and is easy to maintain.

Featured Case Study
Facebook Webstore for NetSuite

Background:
Greg Smith Equipment Sales is the largest independent U.S. distributor of above ground car and truck lifts. They have been in the automotive business for more than 40 years with six US locations. Greg Smith Equipment Sales stocks hundreds of above ground automotive lifts, tire changers, air compressors, wheel balancers, winches, brake lathes and other automotive equipment, and they are also the exclusive US distributor of the world famous Atlas brand of automotive equipment.

Issue:
In an effort to boost online sales, Greg Smith Equipment Sales engaged Explore Consulting to redesign their existing NetSuite website, www.gregsmithequipment.com, and simultaneously implement a webstore within the company’s Facebook page. This would allow them to capitalize on the power of social media, while managing this external store from within NetSuite.

Solution:
Explore Consulting worked with Greg Smith Equipment Sales to implement the Facebook Webstore App for NetSuite. This App was built for e-tailers utilizing the NetSuite Site Builder e-commerce platform. This helps Greg Smith Equipment Sales to easily sell more products by creating a “Shop Greg Smith” tab on their Facebook page showcasing products from their existing NetSuite online store.

NetSuite Tips
Each month we will provide our NetSuite customers with tips on how to use the product more efficiently and how to perform complex or unintuitive tasks. We hope that you find these tips helpful.

Creating a Shared, Group Calendar in NetSuite

Two of our customers recently asked us how to set one calendar as the default for all employees to share, thereby allowing everyone to easily view company-wide schedules and events in one place. They had mistakenly assumed that by having an individual share her or his individual calendar in NetSuite, this would perhaps create one shared calendar for all employees to see. In order for several employees to share one calendar in NetSuite, you must first create an employee group. You then set a default calendar for the group to share. Continued…
