Go live quickly. The solution takes advantage of the NetSuite stairway—a staged approach to activation that allows customers to consume capabilities based on what the business needs and drives faster time to value and better ROI.

Visibility and insights. By unifying the front and back-office, NetSuite delivers a complete view of your customers, projects and business in real-time, combining data with visual analytics to generate meaningful and actionable insights.

Financial Management

Automate your accounting functions! The general ledger supports the unique structure and requirements of your business. A simplified chart of accounts structure organizes financial and statistical data.

Journal entries are created automatically and in real-time as transactions happen. You can easily create and update budgets, and bank and credit card statements can be automatically imported into NetSuite for reconciliation. The period close checklist makes closing the books fast and easy.

Item Management

Using item records in NetSuite allows for more efficient processing of transactions while reducing the likelihood of data entry errors. Item records hold the accounting information, pricing and attribution for all the goods and services you buy and sell to customers, along with the parts and raw materials you purchase from vendors. Item records are used to track information about items you keep in stock.

Sales Management

Streamline your sales process while helping your organization gain complete visibility without duplicating efforts. All processes are connected, from the creation of a lead to turning it into an opportunity through generating an estimate. Once a quote is accepted, you can generate the sales order directly from the estimate to ensure an accurate audit trail.

Order Management

NetSuite enables efficient order entry, item fulfillment and invoice processing, all within an integrated suite. Leverage sales orders to sell products and services to automate invoice creation and sales reporting. Quickly process returns, issue credit memos and apply credits to any open invoices.

Purchase Management

Streamline your procurement process while providing visibility, efficiency and effective purchasing controls in your organization. You can create and track purchase orders, maintain detailed records on all suppliers (including contacts, addresses, banking information, purchase orders, past payments and credit memos) and create vendor credits and issue refunds if needed. Invoices are matched to purchase orders and receiving statements to avoid overpayments, duplicate payments or other errors.

Project Management

Projects can be managed end-to-end within NetSuite. You can create a new project from a project template including phases, tasks and milestones with estimated hours.

You’ll be able to track and resolve issues with real-time visibility across the project team, assign resources and track actual time against projects and project tasks. Expenses appear against the project, allowing for monitoring of project costs and invoicing of billable expenses.

The billing of projects can be automated using multiple billing rules including time and expense based, fixed date, milestone and percent complete. You can also run project reports like project profitability, project budget vs. actual and resource utilization.
