NetSuite ERP for technology and digital businesses

NetSuite includes a subscription and maintenance renewals engine built specifically for SaaS and licence software providers, so it handles the nuances of recurring revenue rather than working around them. SuiteBilling covers automated invoicing, subscription handling and real-time revenue recognition, and can be customised where your pricing model isn’t standard. Where revenue is project based instead, fixed price, milestone and time-and-materials billing covers those models.

NetSuite Advanced Revenue Management applies one consistent approach across multiple revenue streams, products and services. Invoice-to-revenue-recognition runs as an automated back-office process alongside quote-to-contract and provision-to-bill. If your current close is slow or unreliable, a structured review of your NetSuite environment and connected architecture identifies where the delay actually sits.

Your team can do a lot of it. NetSuite extends through point-and-click configuration, a click-not-code workflow engine, scripting for new apps and processes, REST APIs, real-time role-based dashboards and pre-built and ad-hoc reporting with ODBC access. Beyond the self-service paths, we have SuiteScript, SuiteTalk and SuiteBuilder development teams available for the harder builds.

A smooth run from sales quote to approved order, with intelligent workflows automating approvals, pricing and discounting. That sits inside a wider set of automated back-office flows: quote-to-contract, provision-to-bill, invoice-to-revenue recognition, proposal-to-profit and plan-to-report. The equivalent physical-goods flow is order management for multi-channel wholesale distributors.

Not at all. REA Group runs one solution supporting 50+ subsidiaries after replacing Sage Accpac, managing multiple currencies, tax rules and reporting requirements while keeping visibility across entities. NetSuite OneWorld sits behind that, the same platform supporting multi-country professional services firms and multi-brand cross-border commerce.

We work with many tech and digital companies. REA Group, which runs Australia’s largest property site realestate.com.au, consolidated 50+ subsidiaries onto NetSuite, and their Finance Systems Lead describes Annexa’s consultants as valuable team members. Splitit, a global digital payments fintech, replaced in-house systems and Excel across 6 geographies using NetSuite, AnnexaConnect and SuiteSuccess, and also features among our services success stories.

It fits around it. NetSuite is an extensible, composable cloud suite built for fast-growing tech and digital firms, designed to integrate with your existing technology platform and third-party infrastructure through REST APIs and scripting. In practice that means pre-built connectors, custom APIs, iPaaS and file-based integrations joining it to your stack, and bespoke development where nothing off the shelf fits.

Yes. NetSuite covers resource management, project visibility and on-time delivery, along with streamlined project accounting, billing, revenue recognition, and time and expense management. If services delivery is a material part of your revenue, NetSuite for services businesses goes deeper on project profitability, resource planning and billing models.

Full 360-degree views, with fast access to critical business data and far less time spent gathering and analysing it, giving visibility and control over opportunities, pipeline and services. SuiteAnalytics provides real-time dashboards, Analytics Warehouse consolidates third-party data, and EPM and Planning & Budgeting cover planning, forecasting, close and reporting. It is the same stack behind in-depth project and resource reporting for services firms.

Yes. There’s an on-demand webinar, ‘How tech companies can prepare for growth feat. fintech, Splitit’, covering how to prioritise growth and investments, the top 3 considerations for fast-growing SaaS businesses, and Splitit’s own growth journey. If your interests are broader, there is also a free eBook on Linen House and Cargo Crew and one on transformation at YWCA and LiveBetter.
