As a cloud ERP platform built for modern businesses, NetSuite offers a unified system to manage key operations and unlock data insights across your organization.

This article explores key ways NetSuite streamlines operations to boost productivity, visibility, and scalability. We’ll cover: 

• Unifying business systems and data

• Enabling omnichannel commerce
• Facilitating supply chain optimization

We’ll also detail why SuiteRep is the right NetSuite partner to ensure you realize the full promise of these benefits tailored to your specific business needs and objectives.

Consolidating Disparate Systems into One Platform

Many companies rely on separate software products for managing different departments and functions: accounting, inventory, HR, CRM, ecommerce, and more. This creates data silos that limit cross-functional visibility. Teams waste time logging into multiple systems, entering data in multiple places, and trying to reconcile different reports.

As an integrated cloud ERP, NetSuite eliminates this complexity by unifying key business systems in a single platform accessible from any device via the web:

• Financial Management—GL, AP/AR, budgeting, fixed assets and more
• Revenue Management— orders, billing, subscriptions, and global payments
• Inventory and Order Management + Fulfillment
• Manufacturing, Quality Control, Planning
• Sourcing, Procurement and Vendor Management 
• CRM and Customer Service Management
• HR, Payroll and People Management
• Commerce, Website, POS and Order Management
• Business Intelligence, Reporting and Dashboards

With all departments accessing a unified dataset in the cloud, teams share accurate, real-time information driving better collaboration and decision making across the business.

Streamlining Operations through Workflow Automation

NetSuite also enables you to automate routine business processes through its configurable workflow engine. This eliminates tedious manual tasks, boosts efficiency, and reduces costs across departments. Native workflow capabilities span:

• Approvals/Alerts – Set rules for purchase orders or invoices over certain amounts to route for manager approval. Alert stakeholders when key orders approach fulfillment deadlines. 
• Field/Task triggers – Sales discounts over 10% prompt secondary manager approval. New hires trigger equipment setup, payroll activation and orientation scheduling.
• Reporting Workflows – Financial reports or inventory KPIs automatically distribute on weekly schedules to leadership. 
• Custom Process Triggers – Milestones during order processing, billing plans or contract renewals can activate custom processes unique to your needs.

Built-in workflows accelerate out-of-the-box productivity while enabling creation of custom automations unique to your environment. This amplifies operational efficiency at scale while enforcing best practices and governance across business processes organization-wide.

Real-Time Analytics and Reporting for Informed Decisions

Discover in-depth real-time insights with NetSuite analytics and reporting. Native dashboards, KPI portals and interactive reports empower stakeholders to:

• Continuously monitor business performance vs plans
• Drill into variances, trends and root causes
• Model what-if scenarios to weigh decisions
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement 

Flexible filtering, segmentation and customization ensure teams can analyze results tailored to their scope of responsibility from high-level profitability down to granular order profitability. Schedule and distribute fully customized reports to support routine meetings or continuity long after go-live. Pervasive access to real-time data in NetSuite guides both strategic planning and daily decision-making.

Enabling Omnichannel Commerce

From B2B ecommerce to complex B2C and B2B2C models, NetSuite empowers unified commerce operations that weave together every customer touchpoint. Capabilities include:

• Unified shopping experiences across web, social, mobile, brick-and-mortar and more.
• Inventory visibility and optimization across all channels to profitably fulfill demand. 
• Customer analytics blending online and offline transaction data inform personalized engagement.
• Configurable order processing, payments, subscriptions and usage-billing tailored to your business model.

These directly translate to accelerated growth. NetSuite research found average order value increase 80% and mobile shopping conversion rate improve 75% after unified commerce solutions implementation. NetSuite also empowers easily adding new sales channels and geographic markets over time to expand at your pace.

Optimizing Supply Chain Processes  

For product companies, NetSuite streamlines core supply chain capabilities within a single cloud solution:

• Strategic Sourcing – Manage vendors, procurement contracts and payment terms via self-service Supplier Center. Automate routing, approvals and matching for AP invoices
• Quality Management – Digitize production workflows, equipment calibration, recall/corrective action management from receiving inspection through customer returns. 
• Inventory Management – Improve availability with omnichannel visibility, optimized stock allocation and cross-facility transfers. 
• Manufacturing Management – Standardize build plans for repetitive/custom production, accelerate cycle times via paperless shop floor execution with barcoding/mobile capability.
• Planning and Scheduling – Balance production capacity across network, synchronize tier components for just in time delivery minimizing excess inventory. 

As an end-to-end platform, NetSuite removes gaps between crucial supply chain processes enabling teams to drive decisions and KPIs holistically. The results are scale, growth and customer service levels difficult to match without unified systems.
