NetSuite 2023.2: Elevate Your Business with Efficiency and Automation

As we sail through the second quarter of 2023, smaller companies, those with annual revenue under $250 million, are zeroing in on strategies that prioritise efficiency, as revealed in a recent survey by CFO.com and NetSuite.

The prevailing sentiment among finance executives is to combat rising operational costs through increased efficiency, strategic hiring, and the embrace of automation.

In this blog, we look at the NetSuite 2023.2 release to see how it can benefit businesses determined to strike the perfect balance between growth and safeguarding profits and why Nolan's SuiteApps are the perfect complement to the release.

 

Effortless Invoice Management and Payment

Bill payment has never been smoother, thanks to NetSuite's updates to Bill Capture, Vendor Invoice Distribution, and AP Automation. With machine learning at its core, NetSuite Bill Capture now categorises expenses intelligently based on historical data, suggesting subsidiaries based on past bills.

Splitting shared direct costs from a single vendor bill? Vendor Invoice Distribution allows you to distribute expenses across different segments effortlessly, creating journal entries on the fly.

And that's not all - the Payment Approval Routing feature in NetSuite AP Automation streamlines payment submission and approval in batches while maintaining tight controls. Only authorised bills make their way to the bank, effectively slashing spending and fraud risks.

 

A Clearer Vision of Your Finances

In a world of economic unpredictability and soaring costs, having access to accurate, real-time financial data is more crucial than ever. For SaaS and subscription-based businesses, the SaaS Metrics Dashboard offers a clear view of key metrics and a 12-month rolling forecast based on your customer base. Monitor essential metrics like ARR, MRR, and churn rate at different levels and dive into underlying data for a deeper understanding.

The Cash 360 Dashboard takes visibility into cash flow to the next level, providing consolidated, cross-subsidiary, and single-subsidiary views of your company's metrics and cash position. With real-time data from all subsidiaries in one place, you can create near-term forecasts at daily, weekly, and monthly intervals. Stay on top of AR, AP, and cash balances, or export the information for further analysis - it's financial insight at your fingertips.

 

Simplify Taxes and Trade Promotions

Taxes and trade promotions, often the bane of businesses, just got easier in NetSuite 2023.2. SuiteTax now supports multiple shipping routes, allowing you to ship to different addresses using various methods in a single transaction. The NetSuite Rebates and Trade Promotions SuiteApp is also beefed up, enabling tiered rebates that adjust based on quantity or currency tiers achieved during the rebate period. It's a game-changer that automates deal selection, making life easier for your team and your customers.

These are just a few highlights from NetSuite 2023 Release 2, a range of enhancements that can elevate your business to new heights of efficiency and profitability. Alongside the amazing features of NetSuite 2023 Release 2, here at Nolan, we have SuiteApps that further enhance business efficiency and performance.
