Customer Profiles Access in SuiteCom...

SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) empowers sales associates and managers by offering direct access to comprehensive customer profiles. The Customer Profile feature enables sales associates to view a customer's complete transaction history, including purchases, returns, shipments, and dates of interactions through a streamlined timeline. Accessing this information is straightforward; sales associates simply tap the customer's name to see their profile and transaction timeline.

Integration with NetSuite

SCIS integrates natively with NetSuite, relying on a robust backend that synchronizes with various NetSuite functionalities such as ERP and CRM. This seamless connection ensures that sales associates have the most up-to-date information, enhancing the customer experience.

Roles and Permissions

To utilize SCIS, employees must have a specific role within NetSuite that is defined during the installation of the SuiteCommerce InStore SuiteApp. An administrator can customize these roles to align with business requirements. Users log into SCIS using credentials based on their assigned role, and they must possess the necessary permissions to conduct retail operations effectively. For instance, permissions for actions like voiding transactions or applying discounts are critical for sales associates.

Common Roles Include:
