NetSuite ERP Implementation: 3 Pain Points to Avoid

A Successful NetSuite ERP Implementation Requires Configuring the Software for Your Business

Too often, companies get to the end of their NetSuite ERP implementation only to realize they still don't have what they need to be successful. Here are three pain points to watch out for when considering new ERP software for your business. 

Three NetSuite ERP Implementation Pains to Avoid

1. Data Migration

At the center of every ERP system is a common database that enables employees across the organization with reliable and consistent information. When implementing ERP software, It's best to work with a NetSuite ERP consultant team, like Oasis Solutions, to help you move data from older systems into this shared database.

The data migration process can be complicated and time-consuming. It’s imperative to plan carefully to avoid delays and mistakes. Don't underestimate the time and effort required. It's common that more time is required for the entire implementation process. The accuracy of the migrated data is critical because many parts of the business will rely on the shared database including; sales, customer service, purchasing, decision-making, accurate inventory valuation and supply chain functions, etc.

The effective implementation of a new software system requires the meticulous migration of your financial data from your existing software to your NetSuite software. Our experienced Oasis Solution Management Team will work with your teams to coordinate and perform a successful migration. Types of data this might include are:

• Customer History
• Inventory
• Open Sale Orders and Purchase Orders
• Vendor History
• Employee Records

2. Customization & Personalization

It's cliche now, but business management software has no "one size fits all" solution. It's also prohibitively expensive and takes too long to build custom software for your business from the ground up. It can be frustrating not to be able to enact a process internally when "the software doesn't do that."

When you choose to work with our Oasis NetSuite consultants, you save money with "out-of-the-box" software but we can help you customize it to fit the unique needs of your business. At Oasis Solutions, we provide custom programming to ensure that NetSuite is tailored exactly to your requirements. Our experts have years of experience in customizing CRM and ERP systems from out-of-the-box software into custom, tailored solutions.

3. System Integration

The costs associated with disconnected systems are often under-estimated and hard to identify. For example, what is it costing you in payroll for all the manual and duplicate data entry? Too many implementations end with brand new, shiny, disconnected software, leaving you doomed to repeat the problems from the old system.

At Oasis, our systems integration services are designed to connect your business, saving you time and reducing the margin for error from manual data entry and out-of-sync data. We support integrations with many systems in your technology stack, including CRM, HRMS and document management solutions. We also help with the necessary custom integrations. If you can dream it, we can build it.
