If you are a business owner/executive looking to move beyond accounting software to an all-inclusive solution, you are likely to come across Netsuite as one of the most well-known potential solutions for you to consider.
But, what is NetSuite exactly?
According to Gartner, NetSuite is the “Fastest Growing Top 10 Financial Management System Globally,” but really it is so much more. Netsuite is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, which includes accounting software, along with many other functions central to running your business, such as: Customer Relationship Management (CRM), inventory management, Human Resources, manufacturing, order management, payroll, and more. There are many advantages offered by an ERP system like NetSuite for high-growth companies looking to centralize data through a fully integrated solution, and minimize inefficiencies and inaccuracies due to disparate databases and manual data entry.
In other words, it’s your all-in-one command center to manage your business operations.
NetSuite is a multi-tenant cloud based ERP solution hosted by NetSuite and offered via a subscription model. Many small businesses find the “pay-as-you go” nature of NetSuite compelling as it reduces initial cash outlay for business systems and allows them to focus on their core business, not managing and maintaining software.
Since your business data is located in one database within NetSuite, this means that you have instant access to your business reporting through point and click reports and can avoid inaccuracies that result from manual processes.

- You are looking for instant scalability and customization as your business grows and your needs evolve.
