This helps project managers collaborate with users on projects to get accurate project status updates. It analyses key parameters to offer solutions for issues in real-time, helping manage budgets, track progress and create reports.

 

Resource Management

This includes a resource finder tool for identifying the optimal resources for specific projects. It also monitors productivity and performance and lets you know what resources are available as well as the ones currently in use. Resource Management helps with the allocation, finding, booking and forecasting of resources.

These tools connect key financial data with project progress to ensure accounting and billing is precise throughout the project lifecycle. The development and success of a project can be easily communicated to management with detailed insights into the relevant financials like costs, billing and revenue.

Analytics

The progress and performance of a project is tracked and interpreted with advanced analytics features. These are powered by AI and harness big data to establish actionable insights in real-time. NetSuite Analytics provides various dashboards, enabling you to do things like understand more about resources or draw inferences from budget predictions against actual costs.
