What is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?

Increased Productivity

Automation is at the heart of the NetSuite ERP platform, reducing the reliance on manual employee data input into excel sheets, or other error-prone redundant tasks. NetSuite in particular draws on a number of built in tools that provide your company with an automated system, creating real-time reports and harvesting intel that can help leadership make accurate business decisions, and plan effective strategies for the now, and for the future. While automating your processes, your organization can reroute paperwork, manage workflows, and monitor production and delivery of goods and services all within a few clicks. To further capitalize on this, Appficiency can give your business an added competitive advantage by leveling up your NetSuite primary system with best-in-class solutions taking you even further with your business goals.

Insight And Transparency

NetSuite ERP provides your business with transparency into processes by tracking all aspects of production, logistics, and financials. In addition, the centralized NetSuite dashboard provides users with data that is interpreted in charts, graphs, and metrics that maps everything from profit to costs, as well as project management, all of which are based on real-time data.

A great example of this is for general contractors and self performers that work within the construction industry who are often inundated with multiple items and tasks that need to be tracked, addressed, and monitored. For instance, from precon to project closeout, the laundry list may include the tracking of materials costs, progress billing, manufacturing, regulating compliance, production progress, logistical strategies, and the monitoring of vital financials. Appficiency’s Job Costing (JC) solution works in tandem with the NetSuite platform, and allows for transparency  into some of the more industry-specific applications mentioned above.

Better Employee Collaboration

When it comes to the merits of implementing NetSuite into your organization work processes, the impact on the employee experiences cannot be denied. The quality and distribution of goods and services is dependent on great work from employees that work cohesively and smoothly with one another. While NetSuite unquestionably empowers your business processes, it also has a ripple effect on increased collaboration between your employees. By boosting user-engagement, eliminating redundant and repetitive tasks, and creating a space where employees can interact globally via the cloud on a central system, the importance of teamwork becomes one of your greatest assets.

Improved Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

While taking everything mentioned into consideration, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) plays a fundamental role when moving from outdated legacy systems onto the NetSuite platform. With this move, NetSuite gives your teams comprehensive insight into your customer’s activity, by tracking all interactions – from emails to phone calls, orders, invoicing, payment receipts, and feedback. Appficiency can even further that by building made-to-order interoperability between your most used 3rd party vendors, (ie Amazon, Shopify, Ebay, etc) to track and manage purchase orders with custom integrations into your NetSuite system.

By aligning with your customer interactions and company communications on one dashboard, stakeholders have immediate insight to the customer journey, and in turn create unique opportunities to improve services and target communications.
