What’s New
Better Inventory Management, Planning, and Visibility
With SmartCount, inventory management can be better managed while reducing impact on operations. Designed for mobile devices, SmartCount eliminates the need for physical counts while allowing for overall more accurate inventory counts. Inventory and Warehouse planning get a big boost in this release. Item 360 provides inventory planning and management a more simplified experience through the Item 360 dashboard. Easily access stock levels, real time transactions, pertinent KPIs, location-based inventory and alerts from one pane of glass.
Forecasting the needed stock to have on hand isn’t just a “nice to have”, it’s critical to the bottom line. The Planners Workbench in NetSuite MRP provides visualization of projected inventory through a graph versus simply a table to see trends in inventory / stock levels.
With fewer workers, efficiency and accuracy are key to profitability. NetSuite Warehouse Management System (WMS) allows you to be alerted and an invoice generated for a service fulfillment, just as you would an inventory item. This motion will give greater overall control and reduce the labor involved in the invoicing process.

A CX boost with new CRM Dashboards
The newly introduced CRM Add-On is a one two punch for Sales and Marketing, providing more accurate data and a better overall Customer Experience. The CRM Add-On allows for real time data on current leads and sales activity allowing Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service rolls to provide better, informed service to customers and prospects alike.
Want a deeper view into that sales activity? CRM Workbooks will give you the real time KPI data you need. With 10 pre-built SuiteAnalytics reports you can see real time generated reports showing current opportunities, conversion rates, lost opportunities and more; all generated in CRM Workbooks and not with a spreadsheet, which we all know is prone to human error.
