Is it time for a system ‘health check’?
Your NetSuite system should work for you—not the other way around. Over time, business processes evolve, and your NetSuite setup may no longer fully align with your goals. Identifying inefficiencies or gaps in functionality early can save time and resources in the long run. Whether it’s slow performance, low user adoption, or missing out on new features, an ERP health check ensures your system remains optimised. Regular assessments are vital to maintaining an ERP that supports growth and adapts to changing needs. Here are some signs that you need an EPR health check:
Slow performance: If processes take longer than expected, it may be time to review system configurations or hardware dependencies.
Low user adoption: If employees struggle with the system, it might indicate a need for better training or simpler workflows.
Inconsistent data: Data inaccuracies can stem from poor integrations or outdated processes, undermining decision-making.
Outdated customisations: Old custom scripts may no longer serve your needs. Regularly review and update customisations to align with current requirements.
Missed feature updates: NetSuite’s new features can enhance efficiency. Ensure your team takes advantage of updates!
Difficulty accessing reports: If generating insights feels cumbersome, explore advanced reporting tools or restructure your data.
Manual workarounds: Excessive manual processes often point to areas where automation could help.
Increasing costs: Rising expenses for maintenance or third-party tools indicate inefficiencies in your ERP usage.
Lack of scalability: If your system struggles to support growth, it’s time to optimise.
User feedback: Regularly solicit feedback from users to identify pain points and improvement opportunities.
An ERP health check is more than a maintenance task—it’s a strategic opportunity to optimise your NetSuite system for peak performance. By addressing inefficiencies and aligning your ERP with current objectives, you ensure it continues to support your business’s growth and success.
