NetSuite ERP for Manufacturing Companies
Oracle NetSuite is a cloud-based ERP system for manufacturing companies that integrates production, inventory, procurement, financial management, and supply chain operations within a single platform. The system helps businesses plan production, optimize inventory levels, improve delivery performance, and gain real-time visibility across the organization.
NetSuite Features for Manufacturing Companies
Consolidate production, inventory, and financials in one System
Oracle NetSuite ERP eliminates the need for multiple disconnected systems by providing a fully integrated platform that supports all core processes of manufacturing and distribution businesses.
The manufacturing module provides visibility into available production capacity, planned and confirmed production orders, and future material requirements. In the event of supply disruptions, the system can alert users so that corrective actions can be taken in a timely manner.
Production reporting is performed in real time, providing high traceability and greater visibility into inventory, supply chain operations, and financials, as all transactions are automatically recorded in real time.
Designed for different types of manufacturing
NetSuite provides industry-specific functionality for a wide range of manufacturing processes and supports businesses of all sizes.
The manufacturing module supports efficient planning and monitoring of production processes while helping improve resource utilization. This gives organizations better tools to meet requirements related to quality, delivery performance, and cost efficiency.
Benefits for production, inventory, and delivery
-
Seamless Production:
Simplify and improve manufacturing processes through an integrated platform that supports everything from planning and procurement to production execution. Real-time tracking provides immediate updates and supports continuous improvement based on operational and production data. -
Real-Time Reporting:
All production reporting is available in real time, and with NetSuite Manufacturing Mobile, reporting can be performed directly on the shop floor. Operators can clock in to production jobs and record actual labor time, while also accessing work instructions directly within the application. -
Automated and Optimized Key Processes:
Optimize inventory levels through material requirements planning (MRP), reduce shipping costs, and improve order fulfillment using NetSuite Supply Allocation. -
Global Scalability and Adaptability:
Support for multiple languages and currencies enables organizations to efficiently manage and scale international operations while handling complex global supply chains.
Real-time reports and KPIs
NetSuite includes preconfigured roles with reports, KPIs, and dashboards designed for manufacturing organizations. The system can also be tailored to specific business processes, user roles, and reporting requirements.
Integrated financial management for manufacturing companies
NetSuite offers a comprehensive financial management module that is a core component of the ERP system. The finance module provides a unified view of the company’s financial operations and processes. All transactions and reporting are available in real time within NetSuite.
For organizations operating internationally, the finance module supports multiple currencies, tax management, intercompany transactions, and various accounting standards, helping simplify global financial management.
CRM as part of the ERP platform
NetSuite CRM is fully integrated with the ERP platform and brings sales, marketing, customer service, and support together in a single system. Because CRM and ERP share the same database, users have access to up-to-date information on customers, quotes, orders, deliveries, and invoices without relying on separate systems or integrations.
CRM functionality includes sales force automation, marketing automation, customer service, support, reporting, and analytics. This provides a unified customer view and helps organizations manage customer relationships and business opportunities throughout the customer lifecycle.
