Fusion5 implements Oracle NetSuite for outback clothing brand Ringers Western

Ringers Western, a family-founded Australian clothing and lifestyle company, has implemented Oracle’s NetSuite cloud-based ERP platform to unify their financials and inventory management.

The implementation, managed by Fusion5, was sparked by the inadequacy of the company’s previous solution, which struggled with multi-location inventory and multi-currency reporting. 

With NetSuite, Ringers Western has been able to integrate processes across finance, operations, inventory management, and sales, with NetSuite’s financial management capabilities enabling the company's finance team to eliminate duplicate data entry and increase automation, which has accelerated reporting and enhanced decision-making.

In addition, NetSuite OneWorld enables Ringers Western to manage multiple currencies, comply with local tax requirements, and consolidate financials as it launches in new international markets.

Ringers Western was founded in WA in 2012, growing into a company that now has 12 retail operations and 220 wholesale stockists, alongside an online presence. The company has generated more than $50 million in annual turnover and is targeting $70 million in the current financial year.

“Managing the surge in demand around major sales periods and needing real-time visibility across all our stores, channels and subsidiaries were proving too difficult with our legacy system,” said James Salerno, chief executive officer of Ringers Western.

“Since implementing NetSuite, we’ve gained a single source of truth across finance and operations, while also automating inventory tracking and streamlining order management between locations. This has freed our growing team to focus on expansion and improving customer experience, rather than tracking down errors across multiple platforms. We simply couldn’t have expanded so rapidly without NetSuite.”

“Ringers Western’s ability to turn the resurgence of country-inspired fashion into sustained national and international growth sets it apart in Australia’s retail landscape,” said Scott Wiltshire, vice president and general manager, Australia and New Zealand, Oracle NetSuite.

“With NetSuite, Ringers Western has been able to automate complex processes, gain real-time insights, and scale efficiently as it continues to bring its iconic Aussie country style to more customers around the world.”
