NETSUITE PRICING PER SUITE
NetSuite’s pricing model starts with the concept of “a suite“. The type of suite you’ll license is largely determined by the size of your company and/or the type of functionality you’ll require.
In NetSuite vernacular, the suites are referred to as NetSuite Limited Edition, NetSuite Mid-Market Edition and NetSuite Enterprise Edition.
Each NetSuite edition is based on the number of named user licenses and/or the total number of employees within your organization.
Each of the NetSuite editions are identical in terms of the underlying code base and deployment model.
Therefore as your company grows and scales you simply adjust your NetSuite subscription size to meet your needs, the transition is seamless.
With NetSuite you never have to worry about a system migration once you’ve outgrown your current edition, you simply just adjust your pricing model.
Take a look at the NetSuite edition types below:
- NetSuite Limited Edition: Limited Edition is NetSuite pricing for small businesses. It’s ideal for companies that have a single legal entity and do not require more than 10 user licenses and have less than 50 employees.
- NetSuite Mid-Market Edition: NetSuite Mid-Market edition is the right fit for companies that require more than 10 named users and/or have two or more legal entities that need the ability to perform consolidated financial reports across multiple currencies.
- NetSuite Enterprise Edition: NetSuite’s Enterprise edition is designed for companies with more than 1,000+ named users.
Each of the editions include the following features & functions right out of the box:
NetSuite CRM Includes:
- Marketing Automation
- Sales Force Automation (SFA)
- Case Management
- Partner Relationship Management
NetSuite ERP Includes:
- General Ledger
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Acceptance of Credit Cards, ACH, EFT
- Bank Management & Reconciliations
- Multi-Currency & Multi-Language
- Item & (basic) Inventory Management
- Project Management (basic capabilities)
- Order Management
- Purchasing
- Employee Center (Time & Expense Management)
NetSuite Pricing Per User
When it comes to licensing the end users of software, ERP software vendors offer either a concurrent licensing model or named user model.
NetSuite takes a “named user” approach when it comes to licensing the end users of the application.
A user license is required for roles such as a Controller, a Sales Manager, a Director of Operations, a Customer Service Representative, you get the idea.
Essentially anyone transacting in the system on a routine basis will want a full user license. Furthermore, if you require a complete accounting of all system changes and transactions by user, you’ll want to have a dedicated NetSuite license per user instead of sharing user licenses among groups of people.
Additionally, there are other user licenses for those who perform limited tasks or functions within NetSuite, such as time entry against a project, enter/view/track accrued PTO or enter/view/track expense reports or those who initiate a purchase requisition. These limited function users licenses are referred to as “Self-Service Users“.
Finally, there are usually questions regarding “what about users requiring read-only access to NetSuite data“?
It’s important to note that NetSuite data can be exported into Excel or third party applications via ODBC (SuiteAnalytics Connect).
Also, reports can be scheduled and distributed to non-licensed users via native NetSuite reporting functionality in either Excel, CSV, PDF or Word.
NETSUITE PRICING FOR ADVANCED MODULES
Since each company is unique, it’s likely you’ll have needs above and beyond the standard NetSuite CRM and ERP features listed above. For this reason, NetSuite offers several add-on advanced modules you can choose to license based upon your particular business needs.
NetSuite modules may be licensed “à la carte” or they may be bundled together in the form of an “Industry Suite“, which are a pre-packaged set of modules commonly used for specific industries, for example “NetSuite Manufacturing” would include all the advanced modules necessary for a manufacturing company to run their business on a manufacturing ERP system.
The cost of NetSuite advanced modules and industry suites varies depending upon the edition type (Limited, Mid-Market and Enterprise).
Most NetSuite modules can be subscribed at any time during the length your NetSuite subscription term. The one exception being NetSuite OneWorld. If your business has more than one legal entity that requires separate financials, inter-company transaction management and financial consolidations (or has plans to in the near future) you’ll want to license NetSuite OneWorld right from the start.
One of the great things about NetSuite is that its open architecture and modular license approach allows companies to add and remove modules as the business demands it.
It’s important to note, modules can only be removed during the contract renewal period, so make sure you don’t over license by subscribing to modules only when you need them.
NetSuite Pricing for SuiteCommerce
Connect Customers with Your Back Office
When it comes to NetSuite E-commerce software, NetSuite offers three natively integrated solutions. NetSuite’s E-commerce products are always used in conjunction with NetSuite ERP and not deployed as a stand alone solution like Shopify or Magento. NetSuite Ecommerce products do not require any sort of connector or development effort to tie back to your ERP and CRM.
Here’s a brief overview of the solutions:
1. SITE BUILDER
The oldest, most widely deployed NetSuite E-commerce product is referred to as SuiteCommerce Site Builder. Site Builder has been around for well over 10 years and is rarely sold or implemented today. Site Builder was developed before the rise of mobile devices & shopping and is not natively responsive or SEO friendly, like most modern E-commerce sites today. Site Builder is technically available for licensing but generally not sold and recommended for new users wishing to deploy a SuiteCommerce solution.
2. SUITECOMMERCE STANDARD
The technology developed to replace Site Builder, known as SuiteCommerce Standard, is a templated, SaaS based, E-commerce solution that is natively integrated with NetSuite ERP & CRM. With SuiteCommerce Standard, customers are offered a Shopify like user experience however it’s intentionally limited when it comes to adding unique features and customizations. In return, this simplified solution offers a productized E-commerce offering, providing seamless updates much like you are accustomed to with NetSuite CRM and ERP. SuiteCommerce Standard is a good fit for companies with a fairly simplistic product catalog and straightforward checkout process.
3. SUITECOMMERCE ADVANCED
SuiteCommerce Advanced, developed in 2013, is an enterprise grade E-commerce platform designed to enable customers to sell via multiple channels, brands, languages, currencies with a single platform. With SuiteCommerce Advanced the sky is the limit in terms of customization ability and is designed with SEO in mind. SuiteCommerce Advanced makes sense for companies that have more complexity within their product catalog, have high transaction volumes and/or require customizations to their shopping/checkout experience.
NetSuite OpenAir Pricing
Automate Your Professional Service Organization
OpenAir is NetSuite’s cloud-based Professional Service Automation (PSA) offering that has been part of NetSuite’s product portfolio since 2008 through acquisition.
OpenAir provides project accounting, project and resource management along with time and expense management capabilities.
While it seamlessly integrates with NetSuite, OpenAir also has pre-built connectors for SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and Microsoft Project.
Since the OpenAir offering is highly customizable from a licensing perspective its best to talk with a OpenAir licensing specialist to determine what your requirements are to get to a realistic picture of what your OpenAir price might be.
