Solarpop Distribution

South African Games Distributor Plays on Growth

Solarpop, a games wholesaler in South Africa that distributes popular table-top board games and toys, has been steadily growing as it continues to expand and supply over 400 retailers throughout Africa. Following a merger in 2016, the combined company decided to replace a mix of legacy accounting systems. NetSuite’s cloud-based solution was better suited to dealing with multiple offices and numerous staff spread out geographically, as well as the need for managing and tracking extensive customer back-orders and pre-orders, issuing complex invoices and generating purchase orders to over seventy overseas suppliers in their respective currencies.

“With NetSuite, we have a stronger system to handle core accounting, as well as modules to support wholesale distribution. We’ve managed to get NetSuite to do everything we required, and much more. The flexibility of the system is a big plus. Responsiveness is impressive with no latency or lag. It’s a high-performing system that’s very stable, with no downtime.” Fabio Salvador, Sales and Operations Director, Solarpop Distribution
