Turning thoughts into action, Kellampalli steers NetScore Technologies-a provider of turnkey solutions to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) sector, with immense passion and dedication. Connecting NetSuite with web stores like Amazon, eBay and third party logistics (3PLs) for shipping integration for back end processes, NetScore Technologies-the one stop shop NetSuite consulting provider entered the ERP market in 2007. \"Initially started with an SAP ERP platform, we stumbled upon NetSuite, when it gained attraction.

NetSuite is a complete web-based solution, and the only Software-as-a Service (SaaS) business software that supports accounting, ERP, customer relationship management (CRM), professional services automation (PSA), and ecommerce. \"By exploring unconventional practices and stepping into the unknown, we solely focus on the NetSuite practice.

Value added services like SEO increase store traffic and lead conversion. As a software development network (SDN) partner, we are also excited about building value added Apps and connectors-that increase efficiency and reduce operational costs for our customers,\" Kellampalli elaborates. Additionally, bombarded with ongoing IT maintenance cost and legacy on-premise ERP solutions, the need of the hour today is a drive towards a flexible, cost effective ERP system that can connect financials, customers and commerce in a single platform. \"Solving this menace, NetSuite ERP solution is an entirely cloud based system that manages the global distribution system in a single platform. 70 percent of customers have quickbooks and third party ERP software and they are just transitioning to the cloud.
