LAS VEGAS, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
SUITEWORLD18 -- Blu Coffee Distributors, an
importer and distributor of premium Italian coffee and equipment in
the Philippines, has implemented
NetSuite OneWorld to support its rapid growth. With NetSuite, Blu
Coffee Distributors has been able to capitalize on soaring demand
for premium coffees across the
Philippines by streamlining its business processes.
Founded in 2013, Blu Coffee has
expanded from a two-person startup into a thriving business that
has roughly doubled its revenue every year and now has more than 50
employees and a reported PHP 100M
($1.92 million USD). To continue to
take advantage of soaring demand for premium coffees across
the Philippines, where consumption
of roasted coffee grew nearly four-fold between 2010 and 2017 and
is expected to increase another 72 percent by 2021, Blu Coffee needed to eliminate the complexity
created relying on QuickBooks and Excel as its business management
system. After evaluating different solutions, Blu Coffee selected NetSuite OneWorld over SAP
Business One.
"The coffee market has really taken off in the Philippines," said Rolando Villanueva, Blu Coffee Distributors
founder and CEO, who also owns gas stations, a realty company and
other business interests. "I saw this as an exciting opportunity to
bring the experience of premium Italian products to coffee lovers
across the country. Today we supply more than 1,000 hotels, cafés,
restaurants and other businesses. We knew that as we grew and
established showroom branches all over the Philippines, we would need a more scalable
solution in the cloud."
With NetSuite, Blu Coffee Distributors manages an expanded
footprint of four showrooms in Baguio City, Angeles City, Cebu City
and Davao City, along with its headquarters and showroom in Quezon
City. Time needed for monthly financial close has been reduced by
about 300 percent, while the company now has the insights needed to
easily track expiration dates of perishable coffee beans. To
further streamline processes, Blu Coffee Distributors is
implementing NetSuite SuiteCommerce to provide a B2B commerce
portal that will allow customers to order products online. Blu
Coffee Distributors worked with NetSuite Solution Provider PGE
Solutions to implement its NetSuite solution.
Building on its success, Blu Coffee Distributors has upgraded to
the NetSuite OneWorld global business management solution for two
reasons. One, it lets Blu Coffee
easily transact in the Euro and U.S. dollar with its international
suppliers. Two, NetSuite OneWorld is scheduled to be rolled out at
Panville Unique Distributors, a parent company headed by Villanueva
that's comprised of Blu Coffee Distributors, gas stations, a newly
formed bagel distribution company and other interests. With
OneWorld, Panville will be able to treat its multiple businesses as
subsidiaries for seamless financial consolidation, supporting
improved efficiency, visibility and continued growth.
"Companies like Blu Coffee Distributors that identify an
opportunity and move quickly to capture the market are increasingly
turning to NetSuite to support that growth," said Hazel del
Rosario-Lee, managing director, Oracle NetSuite Philippines. "We're
excited to see their success and look forward to continuing to
support them as their business grows and evolves."
