ERP systems for projects – how NetSuite supports your business
NetSuite helps project-based companies unify project management and finance in a single project-focused ERP system. This provides better control, less manual work, and clearer insights for decision-making in every engagement.
Project-based companies: gain better control with NetSuite
Project-based companies have unique requirements for their ERP systems. To manage operations effectively, you need real-time visibility into finances, resources, and project delivery—without getting stuck in manual processes or disconnected systems.
NetSuite is a project-focused ERP that connects the entire project lifecycle, from the initial quote to the final invoice. It provides a unified platform for all roles – enabling better control, smoother collaboration, and more reliable decision-making throughout the project.
NetSuite’s PSA capabilities, through SuiteProjects, make it easier to plan, track, and manage projects in a more integrated way—without relying on spreadsheets or siloed tools.
Project management & resource planning
Plan staffing and delivery with clear visibility.
Project-based billing
Link time, expenses, and milestones directly to the invoice.
Unified data source
Everyone works in the same system with shared project data and reporting.
SuiteProjects – the project management tool in NetSuite
With NetSuite SuiteProjects and SuiteProjects Pro, you get a comprehensive PSA (Professional Services Automation) solution that brings together the key capabilities a project-based services organization needs to run its business.
The solution supports the entire project delivery lifecycle in a powerful, cloud-based suite – helping you plan and track project activities and manage resources in a more structured way.
You also gain improved real-time visibility and access to information and tools from anywhere, enabling you to stay on track and drive profitability.
How NetSuite gives you better financial control in projects
With NetSuite, you gain better control over project finances as they happen – not just afterwards. All costs and revenues are directly linked to the right project, making it easy to track margins, identify deviations, and adjust forecasts along the way.
The system supports fixed-price, time-and-materials, and hybrid models, offering flexibility no matter how you work. Billing data is generated automatically from time reports and expenses, saving time and increasing accuracy in your revenue flow.
Resource planning that supports your business
NetSuite provides clear visibility into capacity, availability, and utilization, making it easier to plan staffing and prioritize the right projects. Resources can be scheduled based on roles and availability, at a level suitable for most project-based operations.
Planning is integrated with project financials, allowing resource decisions to influence forecasts and profitability assessments. This offers decision support that helps both project managers and executives act in time, based on real data.
For organizations with highly complex or detailed resource optimization needs, complementary solutions may be considered – but for many project-based companies, NetSuite’s resource planning is more than sufficient.
Less administration – more delivery
By bringing together projects, finance, time reporting, and billing in a single system, NetSuite reduces the administrative burden across the entire organization.
Time and expenses are reported directly to the project and automatically reflected in the financials, reducing the need for parallel files, corrections, and double-checking.
The result is smoother collaboration, higher data quality, and more focus on delivery.
We often see companies switch to NetSuite when they’ve outgrown their previous systems. With a unified platform for projects, CRM, finance, and reporting, you gain real-time control and a solution that scales with your growing organization.
