The primary challenge facing Fortus was their outdated ordering, product detail & stock management, and dispatch system, which was resulting in inefficiencies, costly mistakes, and lost revenue.

2.Integrate the website with NetSuite for a frictionless sales order process and accurate stock data.

3.Ensure real-time synchronization between the website and NetSuite for current product data.

4.Set up an efficient online brochure system to provide customers with vital information swiftly.
