NetSuite is an ideal ERP solution for manufacturers due to its comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the specific needs of the manufacturing industry. Here are five reasons why:

NetSuite supports lean manufacturing principles by providing tools for waste reduction, process optimisation, and continuous improvement. Features like work order management, bill of materials (BOM) management, and shop floor control help streamline production processes, reduce downtime, and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
2. Enhanced supply chain management
Effective supply chain management is important for manufacturers, and NetSuite provides robust tools for managing suppliers, procurement, inventory, and distribution. The system helps optimise inventory levels, reduce lead times, and improve supplier collaboration. Features like demand planning, supply chain intelligence, and production planning ensure that manufacturers can meet customer demands efficiently while minimising costs.
3. Integrated business systems
NetSuite is an all-in-one platform that integrates various business functions such as financials, supply chain management, production, inventory, order management, and customer relationship management. This integration ensures seamless operations, reduces the need for multiple disparate systems, and provides a single source of truth for all business data.
4. Real-time visibility and reporting
Manufacturers benefit from NetSuite's real-time data visibility and advanced reporting capabilities. This allows for better decision-making based on up-to-date information regarding inventory levels, production schedules, order statuses, and financial performance. NetSuite allows manufacturers to generate customised reports and dashboards too helping to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and improving operational efficiency.
5. Scalable and flexible
NetSuite's is cloud-based so it is highly scalable, allowing manufacturers to easily expand their operations without significant investments in on-premises IT infrastructure. The ERP system can be customised to fit the specific needs of various manufacturing processes, whether discrete or process manufacturing, and can adapt to changing business requirements.
