Why PCG Should Be Your NetSuite Consulting Partner

Author: Dan Aldridge — PCG Director of Solutions Marketing

A PCG Overview —

Providence Consulting Group (PCG) is a leading implementer of business predictability through successful business and digital transformations. That means we consistently deliver on the promise of advanced business technology.

PCG is a company built on relationships, partnerships, and 20+ years of experience with business transformations and enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects. We partner with the highest-rated cloud ERP software for SMBs: Oracle NetSuite (NetSuite). 

With NetSuite, we focus on manufacturing verticals such as Industrial Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, and many more.

Here is our new logo and completely rebranded website. And, here’s an “explainer video” that does a nice job of summarizing the many services we offer.

With the technical expertise of highly trained NetSuite consultants, project managers, and solution architects, we have tremendous resources and capabilities to care for every aspect of a customer’s technology environment—from the back office, to edge apps, to the shop floor — with everything in the cloud

A NetSuite overview —

NetSuite is the highest-rated Cloud ERP for the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market, as shown in this recent ranking of SMB ERP systems by the prestigious research firm Nucleus Research*.

*Here is the link to get the full report from Nucleus Research.

 

Beginning in 1998, NetSuite built the first cloud ERP, and they are still the largest Cloud ERP software company, with over 41,000 customers! Now that’s impressive.

If you have NetSuite or you’re considering taking your business onto the NetSuite platform, you’ve made a great choice. The NetSuite technology platform brings best-of-breed functionality with cloud-based flexibility, security, and management.

To learn much more about NetSuite, the software, try our comprehensive blog article “Why You Need NetSuite in Your Small to Mid-sized Business” on our PCG Insights Blog.

Why you need NetSuite for your SMB —

As the article shows, Oracle NetSuite is an excellent fit for small to medium (SMB) manufacturers, typically defined as $100 million and below. NetSuite is scalable to somewhat larger organizations, though, so we look at this on a case-by-case basis.

NetSuite is an excellent choice if you are:

    • An SMB manufacturer in the verticals mentioned above.
    • A medium to high-growth business.
    • Needing a more flexible ERP solution.
    • Needing a more flexible set of industry business models.
    • Looking for a lower complexity cloud solution that can be implemented as largely standard.
    • Using an older or end-of-life system Oracle EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards or another smaller package in the Oracle stack.
    • Using an end-of-life system from Microsoft like Dynamics AX or GP that require a reimplementation to go to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations or Dynamics 365 Business Central.
    • Using a smaller SAP system like SAP Business One or Business By Design which is either out of maintenance or not being developed.

Using Quickbooks Enterprise or a smaller financial system like Zero where you’ve grown to need a full ERP system like NetSuite.

How PCG builds business predictability with NetSuite —

We’ve all heard in the news that business transformations should allow companies to get ahead of, not just keep up with, the competition. Also, there are a lot of supply chain disruptions and unpredictability for small and medium-sized manufacturers and distributors in today’s market.

We address this challenge with our unique approach to “business predictability” that provides the following benefits for NetSuite customers.

    • Opportunity – Enhance the ability to innovate and proactively go after opportunities before competitors.
    • Capital – Consistently execute projects that stay on time and on budget, allowing capital and resource predictability.
    • Performance – Implement business systems, processes, integrations, communication, and workflows that easily keep up with the speed of business.
    • Outcomes – Help monetary and resource investments in technology to bring greater ROI, leading to new opportunities and profitability.

The PCG HUB video library —

To help our existing NetSuite customers with video tutorials and prospects with doing research into NetSuite, we have started a new PCG HUB” Video Library” project to give back. Here’s an example of a training/demo video like what we will offer. It’s a comprehensive “how-to” on SuiteSuccess Financial Statements and Dashboards in NetSuite.

Although NetSuite isn’t always known as a manufacturing solution, PCG knows how to maximize the production and operational modules as well as Finance. For instance, here’s an example of how to handle make-to-order or make-to-stock production.

To enhance NetSuite’s Production, Warehousing and Quality modules, we have developed the only full-featured SmartFactory Solution in the NetSuite market! It is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solution that is seamlessly integrated with NetSuite Production.

SmartFactory can take a production order from NetSuite, record time against it using scanners or tablets, report completions and rejections, do quality testing, integrate with machine controllers, issue material, and execute many other shop floor functions. Incredible.

Here is an overview of our SmartFactory MES Software that was built for NetSuite using the Tulip platform on the AWS Cloud. It’s a certified SuiteApp and it’s something that extends NetSuite’s native Manufacturing/Production capability. You can’t get this software from NetSuite or any other NetSuite partner! (Viewing tip: Grab a coffee as it’s 9:40…..well worth it)

SmartFactory for NetSuite is so important to us, and we believe to the NetSuite ecosystem, that we created a separate website! https://asmartfactory.com/ .

If you want a FREE subscription to the HUB, or you want to learn about any of the services I’ve described, send me an email using the link below.
