Digital transformation has become table stakes for companies of all sizes and across all industries, but the idea of having to “rip and replace” current systems in order to access new functionalities and capabilities can create major headaches for those operations. Cost, manpower and downtime are just a few of the key considerations, not to mention having to train users on new systems, migrate data into those platforms and ensure seamless integration with any remaining on-premises or legacy components.
NetSuite relieves these and other headaches by providing a system that “plays well” with others. Put simply, it integrates well with your existing infrastructure, offers a full breadth of modern functionalities and also provides a library of SuiteApps that manage specific functions, all under the NetSuite umbrella.
Connecting Systems to NetSuite is a Breeze
NetSuite Connectors let you quickly map data between the enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform and leading systems like:
- E-commerce platforms
- Payment gateways
- Warehouse management systems (WMS)
- Business intelligence (BI) tools.
- Electronic data interchange (EDI) systems
- Human resources (HR) management platforms
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
- Enterprise service management (ESM) systems
- The list goes on…
NetSuite also offers pre-built integrations that accelerate and simplify deployment of connections, increasing time-to-value and reducing any downtime. These pre-built connections include financial and reporting that leverage capabilities from popular, best-in-class applications while maintaining NetSuite as the single source of information across your business. These and other integrations eliminate manual and time-consuming tasks—such as spreadsheet tracking and data exports—effectively reducing costly errors and delays.
“By automating the transfer of data both to and from NetSuite with preconfigured integrations,” NetSuite says, “you can easily keep vital information in one central place and eliminate the errors and delays caused by manual data entry, data exports, and spreadsheet- and email-based processes.”
Introducing NetSuite’s Newest Connectors
With its first software update of 2025, NetSuite introduced three new connectors to its existing connector family:
- A new Salesforce connector maps data between NetSuite and Salesforce, eliminates manual entry and speeds up revenue recognition processing. “By optimizing the order to cash flow,” the company said in its What's New in NetSuite 2025 Release 1 webinar, “businesses can gain better visibility into order details, customer and contact information, order fulfillment details, and financial information like invoices, payments and cash sales, all while guaranteeing efficiency and accuracy.”
- The Microsoft Outlook connector lets sales reps sync emails and events between Outlook and NetSuite customer relationship management (CRM).
- And a Shopify B2B connector bringing together the business-to-business side of the e-commerce platform right into NetSuite (which was already offering a Shopify B2C connection).
A Harmonious Tech Ecosystem
The digital landscape demands agility, yet many enterprises remain tethered to aging, monolithic ERP systems and other business solutions. These platforms are generally resistant to external collaboration, and their silos impede the seamless flow of information that today’s organizations thrive on.
So why would someone want to connect their existing systems with a modern, cloud-based ERP like NetSuite? In some cases, they may prefer the features of separate applications to the native components offered by their ERP provider yet still want to integrate those applications with the core ERP system.
“Companies may also want to extend the capabilities of their ERP systems by integrating them with applications that offer distinct capabilities, such as business intelligence or marketing automation,” NetSuite points out. “Basically, the more integrated an ERP system is with other organizational systems, the more powerful it becomes as a centralized hub to automate business processes, reduce data inaccuracies, eliminate data silos and drive better decision-making.”
