Oracle NetSuite

Cloud ERP with multi-tier assembly planning for growing manufacturers

Overview

NetSuite is a multi-tenant cloud ERP suite founded by Evan Goldberg, who remains its founder and executive vice president within Oracle, which acquired the company and now markets it as Oracle NetSuite. Oracle says NetSuite has served organisations for more than 25 years and is relied on by more than 43,000 customers in 219 countries and dependent territories[4]. The suite combines financial management, supply chain, customer experience and HR capabilities on a single unified data model.

In October 2025 NetSuite announced NetSuite Next, a new generation of the product built around Ask Oracle, a natural-language assistant that can search, analyse and act across NetSuite data and partner extensions, plus AI Canvas and agentic workflows for tasks such as payment proposals, vendor selection and reconciliations. Customers can switch to NetSuite Next without migrating customisations, and availability was to begin in North America within 12 months of the announcement[4]. NetSuite runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is extended through the SuiteCloud platform and a large partner app ecosystem[4].

NetSuite is the most common destination for fast-growing companies outgrowing accounting software, especially in software, wholesale distribution and e-commerce. Its pricing is not published and depends on edition, modules and users; annual renewals and add-on modules can raise costs, and the strict multi-tenant model limits low-level changes compared with on-premises systems.
