NetSuite for the Energy Industry
Sustainable Energy Company Outgrows QuickBooks, Streamlines Operations with NetSuite ERP
This leading global energy company specializes in designing and implementing customized solar systems. With a robust business model, the company processes over 200 solar installations monthly, contributing significantly to the renewable energy landscape. However, as the company experienced rapid growth, it became apparent that its existing financial management system, QuickBooks, was insufficient to handle the complexities of its expanding operations.
The absence of Project Management, Revenue Recognition, and Inventory capabilities posed substantial challenges for a company dealing with numerous installations and custom-designed solar solutions. The client’s reliance on custom applications alongside accounting and worksheets created inefficiencies, particularly in the areas of revenue recognition and fixed asset management.
Recognizing the limitations of its existing system, the client tapped AST (formerly CTR) to implement a comprehensive business solution that could address these specific needs:
