Shaw Industries Turns To NetSuite For Global Expansion

Shaw Industries, with headquarters in Dalton, GA turned to NetSuite for its launch of a new 210,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Nantong, China. The carpet manufacturer's new plant, which employs more than 250 workers, produces 5 million square yards of carpet tile a year for Asian markets.

With its new China plant, Shaw has reduced the time required to deliver U.S.-made carpet tiles to the Asian market by several weeks. Shaw is also leveraging NetSuite to manage its 10 international subsidiaries with real-time visibility and global financial consolidation and reporting.

NetSuite's OneWorld provides Shaw custom-developed systems at its headquarters in Dalton, Ga., in a two-tier model at a fraction of the cost of on-premise systems, while also providing support for Mandarin and multiple currencies. Shaw easily rolls up subsidiary financials with global financial consolidation, while gaining on-demand transparency into international operations. Shaw also streamlines production in China with NetSuite manufacturing capabilities including work orders, work in process, lot control and standard costing.

NetSuite positions Shaw to quickly expand its ERP beyond existing subsidiaries in China, India, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia as its international business grows while maintaining a lean IT footprint.
