Why NetSuite for small business? There are many factors when deciding what software is right for your business. Discover if NetSuite is the best ERP for you. Learn more about NetSuite for small business and startup companies.

Why NetSuite for Startups and Small Businesses

We don’t have to tell you, running a business can be expensive. While costs have to be considered, investing in business software is often necessary to run your business smoothly while facilitating growth. A common reason small businesses consider new enterprise software is because you have separate systems for accounting and inventory management as well as potentially other separate software for different parts of your business. Enterprise resource planning software solves this problem by providing one system for all of your important business processes – but ERP can be costly.

NetSuite is a more affordable option for businesses that need one source of truth – one software system to run your business. NetSuite is a cloud-based ERP software solution designed to grow with your business. NetSuite provides real-time visibility into your company’s performance and comes equipped with built-in business intelligence tools to help you make informed decisions that will help your company grow.

As a complete solution, NetSuite provides a full suite of software tools, such as financials, supply chain management, e-commerce, human resources, order management and more. These robust applications are role-based, making it more user-friendly and easier to navigate based on the user’s department and responsibilities.

This comprehensive view paints a clear end-to-end picture of your company’s processes at every stage. Coupled with the real-time data, this functionality provides you with the flexibility and insight to spot strengths and weaknesses to be optimized, paving the way for growth. As you grow, NetSuite will grow with you.

Features of NetSuite for Small Businesses

  • Affordability – the cost to purchase NetSuite software and to implement NetSuite software can vary greatly depending on how many user licenses you need and the base software package you purchase. NetSuite software costs start at around $20k a year. There will also be additional implementation costs to get started. NetSuite is more affordable for small businesses compared to other Tier 1 ERP software suites.
  • Scalability – NetSuite can scale from startup to mid-sized companies without needing to switch systems. NetSuite grows with your business and also helps facilitate growth for your company (see below).
  • One Software Suite to Run Your Business – NetSuite has tools for accounting and financial management, inventory management, CRM for customer management, sales and invoicing, and more. NetSuite has built-in reporting and business intelligence and tools for automation that save time and money.
  • Implementation Timeline – compared to other Tier 1 ERP software it can be faster and more straightforward to implement NetSuite.
  • Integrations – there are hundreds of applications that connect and integrate easily with NetSuite including SalesForces and Amazon Business.

Benefits of NetSuite for Small Business

Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Many small businesses face challenges, from outgrowing starter software to industry competition and budget constraints. We understand these hurdles and are here to help you determine if implementing NetSuite software is right for your organization.

  • Next-Level Software – Using starter business software that you’ve outgrown is a common problem. Moving to a Tier 1 ERP software like NetSuite can be a competitive advantage and a differentiator to stand out and excel in your industry.
  • Increase Profitability – Many businesses face profitability roadblocks, but with NetSuite, companies can increase their gross margins by up to 5% on average.
  • Reduce Costs – Inventory and financial challenges can weigh down your business. NetSuite business software offers an effective solution by helping companies reduce inventory costs by up to 30%.
  • ERP Software That Doesn’t Break the Bank – The cost of ERP software is a concern for many small businesses. However, NetSuite offers an opportunity to implement the #1 cloud ERP for less than $10k.

NetSuite SuiteSuccess Starter Edition – NetSuite Small Business Pricing

One of the most valuable assets that NetSuite offers a startup or small business is that operations can be run entirely on a NetSuite platform. But full solutions can be out of range for small companies. Enter NetSuite’s SuiteSuccess Starter Edition – a total solution designed to make ERP for small business more accessible.

Startups and small businesses that choose NetSuite SuiteSuccess Starter Edition aren’t selecting a watered-down ERP with light versions of key applications and less functionality. Companies will receive the full suite designed for the specific needs of a smaller enterprise.

NetSuite Professional Services Activation – Implementation at Low Cost

Another resource NetSuite offers for small businesses and start-ups is a Professional Services Activation. As part of the NetSuite Professional Services Activation, 10 or fewer users are set up with roles in the NetSuite platform. By the end of the first phase, the software is up and running with your most integral tools, such as financials, customer relationship management, or CRM, inventory management and more. Additionally, SuiteSuccess Starter Edition delivers 95 or more pre-built reports and pre-configured roles with dashboards and business intelligence metrics.

With an affordable (usually less than $10k for implementation), focused implementation, your business can see a return on investment quicker. Businesses are live on NetSuite in days with the SuiteSuccess Starter Edition, as opposed to potentially nine months or longer. Once you’re up and running, you’ll also be able to adjust your software according to your business’ needs, as well as integrate any third-party applications you might require.
