Why Businesses Choose NetSuite ERP
One of NetSuite’s greatest strengths is its ability to scale with your business. Whether you’re adding new users, launching new departments, or expanding globally, you can easily adjust your NetSuite licenses and modules—no need to overhaul your IT infrastructure.
Industries That Use NetSuite ERP
NetSuite's strongest selling point as a cloud ERP is that it can be easily adapted and customized for any company with a non-standard business procedure. Some of the industries that use NetSuite regularly to manage their day-to-day work are:
Retail
NetSuite offers an easy-to-understand process flow that facilitates daily tasks, from taking a customer order to receiving payment and handling customer returns. It is also an ideal software for eCommerce businesses, as it specifically offers an eCommerce platform that is integrated with the inventory, sales order, pricing rules, etc.
Another valuable component of NetSuite is its ability to handle customer support with support cases and escalation procedures. This simplifies communication by tracking interactions between the customer and the company.
Manufacturing
NetSuite can easily handle manufacturing processes while having a stronger focus on the financial aspects of manufacturing, i.e. deciding how much the manufacturer should order based on sales and profit reports. NetSuite offers many other features to help manage manufacturing processes:
- demand planning
- inventory and allocations
- replenishment
- advanced procurement, and more!
Professional Services
NetSuite contains many modules to help professional services companies (i.e. law, accounting and insurance firms, real estate brokerages, etc.) to manage their projects, their resources, hourly rates, estimated project budget, and profitability. All in all, it offers up fast and easy solutions to methodically manage company finances.
