Sales Transactions Management with SuiteCommerce InStore

SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) is a web-based point-of-sale application designed for efficient sales transactions management. Built on the same platform as other Commerce web store applications, SCIS features a responsive layout that provides an intuitive user experience on touch tablets.

Key Features of SuiteCommerce InStore

• Native Point-of-Sale: SCIS serves as a managed SuiteApp, which means any updates or enhancements are automatically delivered to your NetSuite instance without manual intervention.
• Intuitive Interface: The app’s design is specifically optimized for touch devices, enhancing usability for sales associates.
• Employee Access Control: Access to SCIS is linked to location and subsidiary settings in employee records, making it vital to set these parameters correctly when implementing SCIS.

Standard and Custom Records in SCIS

SCIS utilizes both standard NetSuite records (such as items, customers, and employees) and unique custom records associated with the SCIS SuiteApp. Important considerations include:

• Employee Roles: Different roles in your organization may require specific permissions, especially for tasks such as processing returns. It's crucial to define these roles accurately for each employee.
• Custom Fields: Many custom fields can be added to standard records when SCIS is installed, allowing for a tailored setup that meets business needs. For instance, you can define custom fields related to sales transactions to align with operational requirements.

Managing Sales Transactions

Once transactions are initiated through SCIS, administrators have the capability to view or modify these transactions directly in NetSuite. Sales associates frequently use SCIS to:

• Access customer profiles
• Check transaction histories
• Manage returns and exchanges

By streamlining the transaction process, SCIS empowers your sales team to deliver a better customer experience, whether in-store or remotely.
