Maximising ROI: How a strategic NetSuite partner can drive growth 

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is no longer a luxury in today’s business environment, it’s a necessity. Yet, simply installing NetSuite and sitting back to watch it work its magic doesn’t necessarily translate into increased profitability.  

The real magic lies in continuous optimisation, managed by a NetSuite Alliance Partner such as SANSA Solutions, who will tailor the system to your organisation’s unique needs. This will help you leverage the full potential of this very powerful cloud-based ERP platform.  

Don’t Fall Into this Trap! 

Too often, companies view ERP as a one-time setup and wind up missing out on the continuous optimisation that yields substantial returns on their software investment. The right NetSuite partner can help you avoid this trap and translate your operational goals into concrete NetSuite configurations.  

Here’s one way to think about it:  

  • NetSuite is a high-performance vehicle that, without a skilled driver at the wheel, leaves much untapped potential on the side of the road.  
  • A Strategic NetSuite Consultanty steps in and optimises workflows, automates processes and pulls actionable insights from your data.  
  • They also create a system that evolves and scales right along with your business as it adapts to changing market demands and realises sustainable growth. 

A Winning Three-Pronged Optimisation Approach 

SANSA’s approach delivers maximum value by focusing on the three key pillars: people, processes and technology. 

Putting people first. People can make or break IT projects and are often the distinguishing factor between a poor or excellent experience. SANSA works closely with key stakeholders, helping mitigate the risks that come with business transformation. Engaging and mobilising key personnel is essential for embedding business processes and ensuring long-term system adoption. SANSA’s experienced project managers collaborate with you to build the most effective project and resource plans, considering both the wider obligations and the potential constraints. 

Best-in-class processes. SANSA supports several different delivery models that ensure NetSuite supports business processes to deliver transformation and improved business performance. For example, using the SuiteSuccess implementation methodology, SANSA’s experienced business consultants help maximise NetSuite’s embedded industry leading practices, deliver efficient ERP implementations and maximise your time-to-value. 

Technology that goes to work for you on day one. Built in the cloud and for the cloud, NetSuite is the world’s leading business management software. The software provider’s “stairway approach” ensures that the right functionalities and capabilities are served up only when you need them—not before, and definitely not after. As an award-winning NetSuite Alliance Partner, supporting businesses with NetSuite across a range of industries, SANSA employs a team of solution architects and consultants who know exactly how to optimise a new or existing NetSuite instance and achieve the intended ROI. 

This three-pronged approach ensures that clients fully leverage NetSuite, and maximise the return on their investment. By prioritising people, SANSA fosters a collaborative environment, ensuring user buy-in and minimising disruption.  

5 Ways a Great Partner Accelerates Your Success  

Here are five more “wins” that you can expect when you work with a competent, experienced partner to implement and/or optimise NetSuite: 

  • Effective change management that sticks. Your ERP partner already understands the ins and outs of your business, which means it can serve up tailored support for your staff, address their needs and minimise risk.   
  • A wealth of expertise. The best implementation partners are well-versed in enterprise technology and management systems. They know how to design and implement tailored solutions for a wide range of business models, including yours. Experienced partners also help you navigate the complex ERP implementation process, ensure smooth deployment and get the most out of your system. 
  • Frees you up to focus on what you do best: running and growing your business.   SANSA knows which solution configurations will have the greatest impact and it helps you maximise those options. They will analyse potential NetSuite configurations, keep a pulse on the latest solutions on the market, and suggest designs and offerings that may not even be on your radar screen. 
  • Lower failure rates. The failure rates of ERPs have been well documented online, but you can avoid this problem by working with an experienced, dedicated partner that has your company’s best interest in mind. SANSA helps you identify potential roadblocks and design a solution that not only meets your functional requirements, but also provides the expected ROI.  
  • Project roadmaps, deliverables and timelines. These “guardrails” will help you avoid project scope creep, stay on track and mitigate risks associated with the ERP implementation and optimisation process.  

To unlock NetSuite’s true potential, you need a partner that understands the nuances of your organisation and industry and knows how to tailor the ERP to those specific requirements. By partnering with SANSA Solutions, you know you’ll get a team that understands how to leverage the ERP to its fullest potential, streamline your operations, automate workflows and extract meaningful insights—ultimately unleashing the true ROI of your ERP investment.
