Your NetSuite team plays a big role in your business’s success. When things run smoothly, processes flow, and data delivers— insights and productivity soar. 

But what happens when they don’t? 

Spotting the warning signs early can help you turn challenges into opportunities - and set your business up for growth.
‍

Signs Your NetSuite Team Needs a Fresh Start

Sometimes, the problem isn’t the system - it’s how it’s being used. Here are the top warning signs to look out for.
‍

‍

Missed Deadlines and Delayed Projects

What’s happening: Deadlines are slipping, and projects aren’t moving forward.
Why it matters: Delays impact everything - from cash flow to customer satisfaction.

Example: Your team promised to automate customer billing in three months, but errors keep stalling the project. In the meantime, invoices are delayed, slowing revenue and frustrating clients.
‍

Struggling to Maximize NetSuite’s Features

What’s happening: Only the basics of NetSuite are being used, leaving valuable tools untouched.
Why it matters: You’re missing out on automation, integrations, and insights that drive growth.

Example: Instead of automating data syncing between NetSuite and Shopify, your sales team manually enters orders, wasting time and increasing the risk of errors.
‍

Does Your Team Have What It Takes?

When things feel off, it’s time to evaluate your team’s skills and structure.
‍

Gaps in Expertise

What’s happening: Team members struggle with technical tasks like SuiteScript or custom workflows.
Why it matters: Without strong skills, your team can’t optimize NetSuite to fit your needs.

Example: A lack of coding knowledge might force your team to settle for cookie-cutter solutions, limiting efficiency.
‍

Poor Communication

What’s happening: Teams aren’t collaborating effectively, leading to missteps and frustration.
Why it matters: Misalignment slows progress and increases errors.

Example: Your finance team builds a custom report that doesn’t include the sales data leadership needs, wasting time and effort.
‍

Fixing the Problem Without Starting Over

Once you’ve identified the issues, here’s how to empower your team and turn things around.
‍

Upskill and Cross-Train Your Team

✔ Why it works: Boosting your team’s skills unlocks more of NetSuite’s potential and prevents bottlenecks.
✔ How to start: Host training sessions, bring in a NetSuite expert, or encourage team members to share insights.

Example: A team member learns to automate expense approvals, saving hours of manual work every month.
‍

Bring in Outside Support

✔ Why it works: Outsourcing fills skill gaps without overburdening your core team.
✔ How to start: Partner with NetSuite specialists for upgrades, complex projects, or ongoing support.

Example: Hiring outside experts to handle a system upgrade means it’s done right—and on time - while your team stays focused on daily tasks.
