NetSuite is a combined ERP (enterprise resource planning) and CRM (customer relationship management) software solution, powered by AI, completely based in the cloud and owned by Oracle. But more than that, it’s a fully integrated business management platform that connects all areas of your organisation in one system: finance, sales, procurement, inventory, human resources, customer service, project management and more.
Unlike traditional ERP systems that require complex installations, ongoing technical maintenance and often dedicated servers, NetSuite’s business management software runs from any web browser, reducing costs and making it accessible from anywhere.
So, if you’re looking for a modern, scalable and truly connected solution, NetSuite is just that. And if you’re wondering what NetSuite is and exactly how it can help your business, the answer is simple: it gives you complete control without overcomplicating things.
You don’t need dedicated physical servers or on-site maintenance with NetSuite. You can work from any device with an internet connection, giving you and your team total freedom for in-office, hybrid or remote working. Furthermore, it ensures a high level of system availability and security without relying on internal IT resources.
Finance, CRM, project management, purchasing, human resources… all in one environment, powered by a single database that gives a 360-degree view of clients, suppliers, projects, etc. This helps you avoid data duplication, errors and siloed processes. The total integration enables a unified view of your business and improved collaboration between departments.
NetSuite grows with you. From startups to major enterprises, you can add users, entities and advanced functionality as needed. This lets you save on migration costs and ensures seamless continuity as your business grows.
No more interruptions. Just like the apps on your phone, NetSuite delivers two major updates every year, at no additional cost to users. They also roll out continuous improvements and bug fixes, keeping your system up to date while you get on with running your business. You don’t need to pause operations for updates or risk using an outdated system - it’s all done for you!
NetSuite is multilingual and multicurrency right out of the box. It features a powerful consolidation tool and complies with the tax rules of over 100 countries. It’s ideal for businesses with an international presence or those planning to expand internationally. Furthermore, it lets you adapt your reports and processes to the specific requirements of each market, without the need for external development.
NetSuite features native AI embedded directly into everyday workflows across the entire platform, helping businesses automate processes, make better-informed decisions and avoid errors in reporting and analysis. As it’s all drawn from the same database, NetSuite’s AI can analyse operations from all areas of the business, giving you better context and bringing together your business data like never before.
Here are some of NetSuite’s key AI-powered features:
(Powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) - teams can auto-generate contextual item descriptions, sales emails, and customer support summaries using their own secure NetSuite data.
AI forecasting can help you predict demand shifts and make faster operational decisions. NetSuite Data Warehouse enhances this by turning financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights and performance trends.
NetSuite’s AI can detect anomalies, trends and unusual transactions in real time, giving you better oversight and increased financial control
While NetSuite is a truly global platform, used in over 220 countries and territories worldwide, one of its biggest strengths for UK businesses is its alignment with UK and European financial regulations, ensuring your business always remains compliant without any additional manual effort.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) ready – NetSuite is fully compatible with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital requirements. It automatically prepares and securely submits your VAT returns directly to HMRC from within the system, eliminating the risk of manual errors.
Simultaneous UK GAAP & IFRS Reporting – NetSuite Multi-Book Accounting automatically posts transactions to parallel ledgers, letting you report under UK GAAP for local filings while keeping IFRS-compliant books for international investors, all with zero duplicate data entry.
EMEA multi-entity consolidation (OneWorld) – NetSuite OneWorld handles complex international tax for you. It automates EU VAT (OSS), post-Brexit customs rules, and postponed VAT accounting so you stay compliant across borders.
NetSuite is designed for all types of businesses, from SMEs looking to scale their growth to multinationals who need to streamline their processes. But implementing an ERP is not just a question of software – it requires expertise, robust methodology and guidance.

NetSuite enables companies to gain greater control over their processes, improve internal efficiency and grow without losing momentum. Its value lies not only in centralising tasks, but in transforming the way an organisation operates.
From invoicing to bank reconciliation, NetSuite lets you automate tasks that typically take up a lot of time. This reduces human error and frees up your team to focus on strategic initiatives.
NetSuite records every action. You can see who’s approved an expense, when a sale was closed or the status of an order. This level of traceability improves oversight, auditing and decision-making.
For businesses with an international presence, NetSuite supports and enables operations across different languages, currencies and local regulations from one platform, making global consolidation easier.
Customisable dashboards let managers and team members view their KPIs without the need for spreadsheets. Everything is centralised and updated in real-time.
Building the system your business needs
Budget management, amortisation, multi-level consolidation, accounting close and automated reporting.
Tracking of customers, opportunities, contract renewals, commissions and marketing campaign performance.
Stock control by location, order automation, demand planning and warehouse management
Native e-commerce, integrating orders, payments and customer service with the rest of the system.
Planning, resource allocation, cost control and invoicing by project phase or time period.
With SuitePeople, you can centralise shift management, performance tracking and time off.
In addition to these modules, NetSuite has an ecosystem of recognised partners who develop custom solutions known as SuiteApps. A great example of this is our very own TaskSuite, which is designed to optimise task and process management in more complex environments.
Implementing an ERP is a strategic decision, and choosing the best one can make the difference between sustained growth and operational chaos. NetSuite stands out from other solutions on the market thanks to its modern approach, its agility and its ability to adapt to the real needs of businesses.
Although NetSuite is a robust solution, it’s designed to be intuitive and accessible from day one. Thanks to our experience as an official NetSuite partner, we guide each business we work with through the implementation and adoption process step by step, even if they don’t have an internal IT team.
NetSuite allows you to customise fields, workflows, forms and reports without the need for complex coding. This means that you can tailor the system to your requirements without affecting its structure or incurring additional costs for customisation.
If you need further custom development, we have a team of NetSuite-certified developers who can help you take your system to the next level.
NetSuite eliminates the need for in-house servers, on-premise installations or dedicated maintenance teams. It’s fully cloud-based and updates automatically, and the subscription model adapts to the size and needs of your business. This leads to real savings in both infrastructure and resources.
One of NetSuite’s biggest differentiators is its ability to centralise all operational information and processes. From sales and inventory to finance and project management, everything lives in one single environment. This facilitates analysis, decision-making and continued process improvement.
When a business is growing rapidly, it needs a solution that will scale alongside it. NetSuite helps these businesses avoid disjointed tools and unmanageable Excel spreadsheets, and gives you a solid foundation for professional business management right from the start.
NetSuite enables operations across multiple currencies, languages and tax jurisdictions, all from one centralised platform. It enables consolidated management across locations, adapts to local regulations and gives you global control.
From the initial online order to invoice and shipping, everything is fully automated - but you stay in control. Furthermore, integrating NetSuite with your e-commerce platform eliminates errors in stock, pricing and delivery times.
NetSuite offers native modules to help distribution businesses manage supply chains, warehouses, procurement and logistics, as well as project planning, and milestone or subscription-based billing for service businesses.
Whether you deal with complex revenue structures, intensive customer service or high-velocity data, NetSuite seamlessly adapts to fit your unique operational workflows.
When we talk about business transformation with NetSuite, we truly mean it. Many companies have already chosen this solution (and NoBlue2 as their NetSuite partner!) to take their business management to the next level.
One example is international fashion retailer RIXO, who needed a flexible and scalable ERP solution. Following NoBlue2’s implementation of NetSuite, they are now able to manage inventory, finance, order processing and e-commerce through a single integrated platform, providing a complete, high-level overview of their business.
We also work with Cabify, a Spanish ride-hailing app experiencing a period of hyper-growth. Their challenge was to consolidate financial data across multiple countries without sacrificing control or agility. Supported by NetSuite and our expert team, they successfully improved the efficiency of their accounting processes and gained clear, real-time visibility of their data.
By now, you’ll have a clear idea of what NetSuite is and how it works: a powerful, scalable and cloud-based platform designed to drive frictionless growth for your business.
At NoBlue2, we’re here to help you take the next step with confidence. If you’re considering implementing an ERP, or you want to see if NetSuite is the right fit for your business model, we can draw on decades of experience as an award-winning NetSuite partner to deliver an approach that’s 100% tailored to you.
Both! While NetSuite is primarily an ERP, it includes a built-in CRM solution. This lets you manage business processes and customer interactions within one platform, from one database. So, no more waiting for data to sync, or manually reconciling multiple spreadsheets, it’s all done for you!
If you’re not familiar with NetSuite already, it has a bit of a learning curve. However features such as its intuitive, web-based interface and role-based dashboards, which limit a user’s view to only what they need, make learning easier. If you are using it to automate regular tasks and for day-to-day reporting, it’s fairly easy to learn; however, for more complex configurations or account setups, your team will likely need to invest time in training.
NetSuite offers NetSuite Guided Learning to support users, and if you implement NetSuite with us, we also offer training sessions to get you up to speed with your new system.
As with any major software solution, it depends! NetSuite follows a platform + per user + add-ons pricing model, so there is no “fixed” starting price.
However, as a guide, the base platform starts from around £750 per month, a full user licence costs up to £150 per user per month and add-ons such as SuitePeople start from £300-£400 per month. You can also expect to add implementation and training costs, which will vary depending on your provider.
No, though both are world-leading enterprise software providers. The main difference lies in their target market and architecture:
