NetSuite is a powerful ERP system, and like any ERP system, it comes with costs.
Although NetSuite is cost-friendly and affordable, the UniFi team is dedicated to saving our customers even more.
This is one of the core foundations on which UniFi is built—to save you time and money.
If your business is looking for ways to further lower NetSuite costs without sacrificing functionality, here are some effective strategies.
1. Cut Costs on User Licences
NetSuite’s user licencing model is one cost to keep an eye on, especially if you’re paying for full licences for employees who don’t need them.
With UniFi, your team can perform essential tasks without requiring additional NetSuite licences.
This means fewer full-access licences, leading to immediate cost savings.
2. Use More Affordable Reporting and Analytics
Depending on your needs, NetSuite’s built-in reporting tools may require additional licences or upgrades to access advanced features.
UniFi, which integrates with NetSuite seamlessly, provides a cost-effective alternative with powerful business intelligence and reporting capabilities.
You can gain deep insights into your business data without paying extra for NetSuite’s premium analytics.
3. Simplify Integrations to Avoid Extra Costs
Integration with third-party tools often leads to more costs, not just with NetSuite, but with ERP and business systems in general.
Many companies rely on costly middleware, custom development, or third-party integration tools just to connect NetSuite with finance, HR, CRM, or other software.
UniFi simplifies this with built-in data connectors that integrate NetSuite with your existing systems without the need for expensive middleware or complex configurations.
This means lower costs, fewer technical challenges, and a more streamlined setup.
4. Reduce Manual Data Entry to Save Time and Money
If your team is still manually entering data into NetSuite, you’re spending more than necessary on labour and risking costly errors.
UniFi can automatically extract and sync data with NetSuite, eliminating the need for rekeying information.
This improves accuracy and frees up your team for higher-value tasks.
5. Avoid Overpaying for Unused Features
NetSuite offers a range of modules, but not all businesses need every feature.
Regularly review your subscription and remove unused capabilities to lower costs.
6. Consider a Hybrid Approach
Instead of relying entirely on NetSuite for every function, explore complementary solutions like UniFi that reduce dependency on costly NetSuite features.
For example, using UniFi for reporting, integrations, and workflow automation can help you get more from NetSuite while lowering your overall ERP expenses.
Final Thoughts
NetSuite costs don’t have to be overwhelming.
By optimising licences, using cost-effective reporting tools, simplifying integrations, reducing manual data entry, and eliminating unused features, your organisation can cut costs without sacrificing efficiency.
If you’re looking for a smarter way to manage NetSuite expenses, UniFi can help streamline your processes while saving you money.
