What is the cost of NetSuite per User?

NetSuite licenses are always priced based on the User type and Role permissions. NetSuite is a SaaS and operates using the SaaS pricing model. This means that the price to implement NetSuite will always be depended on the choice of modules, number of full license users and number of self-service user licenses.

WHO IS A FULL LICENSE USER IN NETSUITE?

As the name suggests, a User with a full license has access to particular functionalities in full capacity. For instance, a company would like to make its COO, CEO, Vice President, Managers etc. a full license user as these roles often need to overlook the entire company operation to create reports, gauge inefficiencies and more in a single glance on a daily basis.

Who is a self-service user/routine user in NetSuite?

The self-service users in NetSuite consist of the employees that will be performing their daily operations in NetSuite. Regular tasks may include time tracking for project updates, expense reporting etc.
Another question that ERP Buddies often gets asked is regarding users who have “read-only” access to the NetSuite data. The read-only users often consist of external employees, vendors, contractors etc.
To make things easier, NetSuite data can be easily imported into Excel or other similar third-party applications using NetSuite’s SuiteAnalytics Connect (ODBC)
Furthermore, NetSuite users can also schedule and distribute NetSuite data via NetSuite’s innate reporting functionality in Excel, CSV, PDF or Word format.

What is the NetSuite pricing for advanced modules?

It is obvious that each industry and company will have its own set of unique requirements which probably wouldn’t be fulfilled by NetSuite right out-of-box. Therefore, NetSuite offers numerous additional modules which can be licensed as add-on modules whenever needed. This makes it a perfect fit for companies that are looking to expand in the future stages.
NetSuite modules can be implemented however a company wishes on a wide range. NetSuite often bundles the most common industry operations and labels it as an “industry suite”. As an example, NetSuite for Distribution will contain every operation needed to run a Distribution business. When it comes to the cost for implementing these, it’ll always revolve around the Edition type which is Limited, Mid-Market and Enterprise level. One thing to note is that these modules can only be removed during the renewal of your contract period. For more detailed information regarding choosing appropriate NetSuite modules, Please contact our NetSuite Experts for more information.

WHAT IS NETSUITE PRICING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES?

Many businesses that are in their primary stage consider NetSuite to be an expensive business management solution but they fail to see the wider picture. Therefore, we often see businesses implementing cheaper alternatives like QuickBooks, Sage Intacct etc in the initial stages of the business. Due to this unknowingly over a period of time, businesses start to implement multiple systems to handle each core business department. This leads to a traditional hairball solution, as these companies soon start to outgrow their ERP, ultimately increasing their total cost of ownership.

When a company implements multiple systems, it might be spending more than a NetSuite implementation. Therefore, we always recommend growing business owners talk to our NetSuite experts who can provide an estimate (scope of operation) before making any final decision.

What are the phases of a NetSuite Implementation and what is the cost of a NetSuite Implementation?

The cost to implement NetSuite will always vary from customer to customer and is hugely dependent on the type of modules a business would like to implement. A NetSuite implementation consists of various steps. These steps help the NetSuite partner to formulate a better ERP system for your business. The cost of implementing NetSuite will always depend upon the number of hours that will be spent in each phase.

To break down the phases:

Discovery and Analysis Phase

In most cases, the first part of implementing NetSuite always begins with the Discovery and Analysis phase. In this phase, the goal of the implementation partner is to understand the business processes, the gaps and the requirements of the client. This information is compiled in the document which is referred to as BRD or Business Requirement Document.
discobery

Product configuration & deployment phase

The actual work of implementing NetSuite begins once the Business Requirements Document gets signed by the client. In this phase, ERP Buddies will generally spend a considerable amount to configure the NetSuite system. NetSuite customizations are also a part of this phase. This generally lasts for up to 10-14 weeks with 2-3 configuration sessions each week.
The total number of work sessions and time to configure NetSuite will largely depend upon the scope of work, the size of the company, number of employees, go-live date and so on.

configuration

Data migration phase

In this phase, ERP Buddies will start to migrate existing data from your legacy system into your new NetSuite ERP system. Information like fixed assets, bill of materials, routing, historical data like past transactions, sales reports etc. can be easily migrated from your legacy system into NetSuite. This data helps the business to create reports and forecast market demand. To carry a successful data migration, we follow our proven methodology that ensures data integrity is maintained at an all-time high.

The 5-step process involves:

Cleaning & mapping data into NetSuite

Validate the data from client’s Subject matter Expert( SME)

Import data into NetSuite

Run a Final report

SME signs off and confirms data migration is completed as needed.

* A Subject Matter Expert will check the ‘must haves’ and ‘nice to haves ‘ of your data. An SME is generally a Department/General Manager or Head.

Netsuite integration phase

In this step, ERP Buddies will work on integrating NetSuite with your systems that are currently in use. Customers can choose from the following options to create their unique NetSuite integration

ERP Buddies can develop your unique customization with SuiteTalk, which is an integration tool that allows for seamless integration between NetSuite and legacy systems.

Netsuite connectors

NetSuite connector is essentially an application that works conveniently without having to worry about coding. Connectors are provided by vendors like Celigo. These connectors cost money and generally charge on a monthly basis.

Integration platform as a Service (iPaasS)

Using an iPaasS platform is the final way for a NetSuite integration. This process generally costs the most but makes sure that the integration will be concrete without having to worry about broken integrations, issues and more. Dell Boomi, Celigo etc. are some of the most commonly used iPaaS platforms that are used

Netsuite customization phase

In this step, ERP Buddies will customize your NetSuite account for a personalized experience. Some basic customizations include role customizations, permissions, creating custom approval processes and more. The time required to complete this phase depends on the type of customization requirement.

Netsuite training phase

In this stage, ERP Buddies will spend time training the team to efficiently use their NetSuite system to work in better efficiency. To sum it up, a NetSuite implementation consists of Discovery and Analysis Phase, Product configuration and Deployment Phase, Data Migration phase, NetSuite Integration phase, NetSuite Customization phase and a NetSuite Training phase
