What Netsuite suiteanalytics can do for your business

Every Australian business leader knows that growth brings complexity. As your operations expand across multiple entities, departments, and data sources, accessing accurate, real-time business insights through manual reporting and disconnected spreadsheets becomes a significant challenge that can slow decision-making and limit your ability to respond to changing business conditions.

NetSuite SuiteAnalytics gives you complete visibility across your entire business, with built-in reporting, dashboards, and data analysis tools that surface real-time insights directly from your NetSuite data. This comprehensive solution eliminates the inefficiencies of manual reporting and siloed data by centralising all your business intelligence within one powerful, cloud-based ERP system.

Core features of Netsuite suiteanalytics

Role-based dashboards with real-time kpis

Every NetSuite user sees a personalised dashboard populated with the metrics and reports most relevant to their role. A CFO sees cash position, days sales outstanding, and consolidated P&L at a glance, whilst a warehouse manager sees open orders, stock levels, and fulfilment performance. Dashboards are built from live data and refresh automatically, meaning the number on screen reflects what is happening right now rather than what happened last week. Portlets can be dragged, resized, and personalised without IT involvement, putting each user in control of their own view without compromising data integrity or security.

Suiteanalytics workbook

The Workbook is NetSuite's modern analytics environment, giving users the ability to explore data through pivot tables, charts, and interactive visualisations built directly on live NetSuite records. Rather than exporting data to Excel and building pivot tables manually, users define their dimensions, measures, and filters within Workbook and get results instantly. Workbooks can be saved, shared across teams, and embedded in dashboards, making it easy to standardise reporting on key metrics while still allowing individual users to slice and filter data for their own analysis. For finance teams preparing month-end packs or board reports, Workbook significantly reduces the time spent assembling and formatting data.

Saved searches

Saved searches are one of the most powerful and flexible tools within SuiteAnalytics, allowing users to query virtually any record type in NetSuite with customisable filters, columns, sorting, and grouping. A saved search can find all invoices over 60 days past due, all purchase orders without a corresponding goods receipt, all customers who have not placed an order in 90 days, or any other combination of conditions relevant to your business. Results can be displayed in lists, summarised with totals and subtotals, or used as data sources for dashboards and reports. Saved searches require no programming knowledge and can be built and modified by business users, making them an accessible tool for day-to-day operational monitoring.

Financial report builder

NetSuite includes a purpose-built financial reporting tool for producing standard and customised balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow statements, and budget vs actual comparisons. Reports can be filtered by subsidiary, department, class, location, or any other financial dimension, allowing finance teams to generate both consolidated group reports and granular entity-level views from the same tool. Report layouts are configurable to match your internal management reporting formats, and reports can be scheduled for automatic delivery to relevant stakeholders. For Australian businesses reporting under AASB standards or preparing data for external audit, the financial report builder provides the structure and flexibility needed to produce compliant, well-formatted outputs without relying on manual spreadsheet assembly.

SuiteAnalytics connect

For businesses with existing investments in external business intelligence tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, or Qlik, NetSuite SuiteAnalytics Connect provides ODBC and JDBC connectivity to the live NetSuite data schema. This allows your data team or BI analysts to connect external tools directly to NetSuite data without manual exports or third-party middleware, building advanced models, dashboards, and visualisations that draw on current ERP data. Connect is particularly valuable for organisations with complex analytical requirements that go beyond what is achievable natively within NetSuite, or for businesses that want to combine NetSuite data with data from other systems in a centralised BI platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is NetSuite SuiteAnalytics?

NetSuite SuiteAnalytics is a powerful suite of analytical tools embedded within the NetSuite ERP platform. It includes a range of features designed to help businesses analyse their data, gain insights, and make informed decisions.

What is the difference between SuiteAnalytics and standard NetSuite reporting?

Standard NetSuite includes basic lists and transaction reports, whilst SuiteAnalytics provides a fully integrated business intelligence environment including role-based dashboards, the Workbook pivot and chart tool, advanced saved searches with summarisation and formula capabilities, the financial report builder, and SuiteAnalytics Connect for external BI integration. SuiteAnalytics is the reporting and analytics layer built on top of the core NetSuite platform.

Is SuiteAnalytics included with NetSuite or is it an add-on?

Core SuiteAnalytics functionality, including dashboards, saved searches, and the financial report builder, is included as part of the standard NetSuite platform. SuiteAnalytics Workbook is also included within NetSuite. SuiteAnalytics Connect, which provides ODBC and JDBC connectivity for external BI tools, is available as an additional module. Annexa can confirm exactly what is included in your specific NetSuite licence during a scoping conversation.

How much does NetSuite SuiteAnalytics cost?

NetSuite is used by businesses of all sizes, from startups to rapidly growing companies. If you are considering making the switch but unsure about the cost, here is a quick breakdown. NetSuite operates on an annual subscription model, which includes three key components: the core platform, optional modules, and the number of users. There is also a one-time implementation fee for the initial setup. As your business expands, you can easily add new modules and users, thanks to the flexibility of cloud software. Core SuiteAnalytics capabilities are included with the NetSuite platform, while SuiteAnalytics Connect is available as an additional module. Want to get a NetSuite pricing estimate? Contact us now to discuss your specific needs.

Can non-technical users build their own reports and dashboards?

Yes. Dashboards, saved searches, and Workbook analyses are all designed for business users and require no coding or technical background. Users can personalise their own dashboards, build saved searches using filter and column selectors, and create Workbook pivots and charts through a guided interface. More advanced configurations, such as formula columns or complex summary groupings, may benefit from initial setup support, which Annexa provides as part of the implementation process.

Can SuiteAnalytics report across multiple subsidiaries?

Yes. For businesses using NetSuite OneWorld, SuiteAnalytics can report across subsidiaries in a consolidated or entity-by-entity view. Financial reports can be filtered by subsidiary, and dashboards can be configured to show either group-wide or entity-specific metrics depending on the user’s role and permissions. Intercompany eliminations are reflected in consolidated reports automatically.

Can I connect NetSuite data to Power BI or Tableau?

Yes, through SuiteAnalytics Connect. This module provides ODBC and JDBC drivers that allow external BI tools including Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, and others to query the live NetSuite data schema directly. This removes the need for manual exports or third-party data pipeline tools and keeps your external dashboards current with live ERP data. Annexa can assist with the technical setup and data model documentation for Connect integrations.

How does SuiteAnalytics handle sensitive financial data and user permissions?

SuiteAnalytics respects NetSuite’s role-based access control framework. Users can only view and report on data they have permission to access in the underlying system. A user without access to payroll records, for example, cannot build a saved search or Workbook that exposes payroll data. This means you can share reporting tools broadly across your organisation without compromising data security or confidentiality.

Can reports be scheduled and automatically distributed?

Yes. Saved searches and financial reports can be scheduled to run automatically and delivered to nominated recipients by email on a daily, weekly, monthly, or custom schedule. This is useful for recurring operational reports, management packs, and exception alerts, removing the need for someone to manually run and distribute reports each period.

Can SuiteAnalytics help with BAS and GST reporting?

Yes. Because SuiteAnalytics draws on live transaction data including GST coding, businesses can build saved searches and reports that summarise GST-collected and GST-paid figures across any period. These can be used to cross-check BAS figures before lodgement and to maintain an ongoing view of GST obligations throughout the quarter rather than scrambling at period end.
