SuitePhone Can Make Managing Your Business With NetSuite As Easy As
Making a Phone Call
When users log into their NetSuite accounts on iPhones, they can manage
their businesses while they are away from their offices. The functionality
of NetSuite -- an SAP-like, integrated application used by thousands of
companies to manage their businesses -- runs on the iPhone. Using
SuitePhone, back-office users can use their iPhone to remotely access their
financial functionality such as invoicing, accounts receivable, and
payroll. CRM users can enter leads, file expense reports, view contacts,
and even place quotes and orders. E-commerce operations can also be readily
managed through the iPhone and NetSuite's role-based dashboards provide a
bird's eye view of a business in real-time.
"With my new iPhone I have so much of the functionality of NetSuite
right in my pocket -- with no additional cost, other than Internet access
time, and without having to install any additional layers," said Brian
Keare, COO of Circle of Friends (http://www.circle-of-friends.com), based
in Pacific Palisades, Calif. "I am particularly impressed with the ability
to dynamically resize web pages and use dropdowns. I have already used it
successfully to enter and approve sales orders, make deposits, and check
inventory. Especially while traveling or on vacation, the iPhone and
SuitePhone allow me to keep in touch with my business through NetSuite at
no additional charge."
"With the iPhone, I have access to all my critical business information
in my NetSuite account just as if I were at my computer," said Mort
O'Sullivan, president of ArcaTech Systems (http://www.arcatechsystems.com),
based in Mebane, N.C. "I have tried other mobile solutions in the past and
been frustrated. The iPhone is the first device that has a user interface
that makes it a pleasure to work with web pages as sophisticated as
NetSuite's."
"It's such a pleasant surprise to see my NetSuite dashboard on my
iPhone," said Brad Kugler, CEO of Distribution Video and Audio, Inc.
(http://www.dva.com), based in Palm Harbor, Fla. "As the CEO of my company,
having visibility into my business in real-time is critical. With my
iPhone, I can see and act on key business information such as financial
reporting, sales, orders, invoices, receivables and payables."
As a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, NetSuite was founded with
the vision of delivering a complete, single on-demand suite to manage the
core business operations of small and medium-sized businesses. NetSuite
enables business data to be accessed readily across departments without the
maintenance pain associated with on-premise, non-Internet-based
applications such as SAP or Microsoft Great Plains.
In the Apple community, there has been a relative paucity of
significant integrated applications for running a sophisticated business.
With the new NetSuite release, Apple users have access to a feature-rich
application, helping to enable the use of Apple systems to expand from the
graphics departments of midsized companies to core front-office CRM and
back-office ERP users.
"Apple has traditionally lacked the software applications required to
address the needs of running a sophisticated business. Our new SuitePhone
capability addresses this need, and makes the iPhone, in combination with
NetSuite, one of the more useful and effective tools currently available to
manage small and medium-size businesses," said Zach Nelson, CEO of
NetSuite.
Availability:
The new SuitePhone capability and native Safari Browser support are
available at no additional charge in NetSuite's new NetSuite 2007.0 release
which is currently rolling out to existing customers. It will be available
to new customers in August 2007.
