BLUNT Umbrellas, the Auckland-founded umbrella design company known for its wind-resistant, patented canopy, had outgrown its finance system as it expanded into new international markets – with no clear way to see sales and profitability by market, channel or customer, and bank reconciliations across four countries becoming a growing burden.
BLUNT turned to Fusion5 to implement NetSuite OneWorld as a single cloud platform spanning financials, multi-currency consolidation and reconciliation, integrated with its Shopify storefront, third-party logistics and bank feeds, so the finance team could scale with the business rather than growing headcount alongside it.
“NetSuite is doing more than I expected; it’s wonderful. It feels like it was made for us,” says Kate Callender, Chief Financial Officer at BLUNT Umbrellas.
