Manage Multi-National Operations with NetSuite OneWorld

By: Chris Haiss

In the global market, businesses must be data driven, innovative and able to scale rapidly in response to changing market dynamics and customer demands.

When operating internationally, your business needs a solution that allows you to execute at a global scale by providing country-specific capabilities, enabling you to meet local compliance and reporting obligations wherever you do business in the world.

Not only that, having a real-time view of your business performance and the ability to drill down into key metrics within your global operations eliminates the need for custom reports, which may take hours, if not days, to generate.

NetSuite OneWorld addresses the complex multi-national and multi-company needs of organizations. It enables businesses to adjust for currency, taxation and legal compliance differences at the local level, with regional and global business consolidation and roll-up. Business leaders get unprecedented, real-time visibility of their business worldwide, ensuring consistent, compliant management across the organization, locally and globally.

NetSuite OneWorld Features

The backbone of NetSuite OneWorld is the financials.

NetSuite OneWorld Financials provides a complete cloud financial management application for global businesses.

With real-time visibility into all aspects of your business worldwide, you can ensure consistent and compliant management both locally and globally.

NetSuite OneWorld features for global businesses:

Global Accounting and Consolidation

The platform provides a seamless experience for operations and financials by bringing down subsidiary restrictions. Businesses can execute in a configurable, accurate and compliant process across intercompany transactions, reconciliations and more.

NetSuite OneWorld is built around robust financial reporting capabilities that enable an organization to understand what is happening across the global business in real-time. In addition, OneWorld provides a multi-language user interface that helps bridge communication barriers and provides a flexible hierarchy that allows businesses to run their entire entity structure with ease. It’s designed to provide an instant global view of the business with subsidiary specific drill-down allowing you to quickly understand what is going on anywhere in the world.

Accounting Hub

NetSuite’s accounting hub functionality can handle specific transactions within a business entity or in cases where a company has other subsidiaries that are not using NetSuite. Information can be imported directly via a CSV file assigning information either at the transaction level or general ledger account level so that it can be consolidated as part of the business entity’s overall financial statements.

Audit and Compliance Reporting

NetSuite OneWorld is built to support both global standard and country-specific requirements. The always-on audit trail, built in analytics, access logs and workflow, and the ability to drill down to the underlying transaction detail ensures that you’ll always get supporting documentation. Access to NetSuite is based on users, roles and permissions. NetSuite’s SuiteCloud platform offers unrivaled levels of personalization, customization and development, all within a framework that ensures security, scalability, globalization and built-in capability of being kept up to date with the latest versions of the software.

Configurable Tax Engine

Recognizing the critical need for businesses to meet local indirect tax obligations wherever they do business, NetSuite OneWorld supports over 100 countries for taxes and reporting. NetSuite SuiteTax provides a scalable and flexible tax determination, calculation and reporting engine with a goal to support any tax rule, anywhere in the world.

The platform natively enables you to calculate taxes in real-time on sales and purchase transactions and cross border sales, including Intrastat reporting obligations between EU countries and file reports electronically. This makes the installation of stand-alone tax engine unnecessary for many businesses.
