Products like MYOB and Xero provide outstanding accounting functionality. However, as businesses grow and prepare for the future, they find that the complexity of managing their distribution operations increases, and the limits of these entry-level software packages can become a daily frustration.
Suitesuccess Starter is the ideal solution for growing businesses to painlessly upgrade from stand-alone accounting packages and offers functionality to streamline your inventory management, demand planning, work order and more. If you re sinking in a sea of systems, spreadsheets, integrations, API’s, read on.
Differences in Xero vs NetSuite.
While Xero and NetSuite are ranked amongst the best online accounting solutions in the world, their scope and targets are different. Xero’s aims to solve day to day accounting and is not part of a larger suite. NetSuite, on the other hand, is part of a comprehensive and integrated suite integrated ERP/CRM at lower cost than traditional vendors like SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.
Both Xero and NetSuite Financials provide a full range of accounting capabilities like accounts receivable and payable, integrated banking and reconciliation, invoicing and billing, expense tracking, reporting, tax management, payroll, budgeting, and forecasting, etc. But NetSuite covers a wider range of services like CRM, e-commerce, project management, business intelligence, work orders, field service management and others.
NetSuite as more complex product to configure, typically required a several months implementation, but since the introduction of SuiteSuccess Starter Edition, Oracle+NetSuite’s newest product offering, it has revolutionised the way that small and medium-sized businesses approach upgrading from entry-level accounting packages. It can be implemented sometimes as fast as in 45 days.

- Accounting and Financial Management.
- Sales, Marketing and CRM Management.
