By selecting NetSuite OneWorld, Shaw saved significant time and capital expense and gained visibility and control over the China plant and 10 international subsidiaries in countries including China, India, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. In addition, the company needed a solution that also supported the Mandarin language, spoken by employees across the manufacturing plant, and multi-currency conversion that would enable Shaw to seamlessly transact in the Chinese renminbi and Australian dollar.
Using a two-tier ERP model, Shaw was able to link OneWorld for international operations to the company's custom-developed systems at its headquarters in Dalton, Georgia. This allowed for integration of subsidiary financials with global financial consolidation, while gaining on-demand transparency into international operations.
In addition, Shaw was able to streamline production by taking advantage of NetSuite's manufacturing capabilities including work orders; work in process, lot control and standard costing. By utilizing NetSuite's Advanced Inventory, multi-location warehousing and distribution of commercial carpet tile to customers in China and across Asia received full support in positioning the Nantong plant to meet its global initiatives.
