Challenges

  • Helix Leisure struggled with delays and manual work while running MYOB in Australia and Singapore, Sage in the U.K. and QuickBooks in the U.S.
  • Entry-level desktop applications lacked the functional scope and global support that the fast-growing company needed.
  • Global financial visibility required waiting until month’s end to tally up numbers with manual work.
  • Sales order and customer invoicing could be delayed and varied across the Group.

Solution

  • Selected over Intacct, NetSuite's multinational cloud ERP solution was ideal for Helix Leisure’s distributed global operations.
  • NetSuite OneWorld went live after a rapid three-month implementation with no significant obstacles.
  • Improved customer communication, utilising NetSuite's quotes, sales orders and invoicing to give customers a uniform system across all office.
