NetSuite Introduces New Cloud Manufacturing Solution
At the NetSuite SuiteWorld user group event in San Jose, California, the company today unveiled a new solution designed to help manufacturers keep pace with the continual evolution of cloud computing and cloud-based solutions.
NetSuite for Manufacturing was created to offer organizations a variety of tools and capabilities to manufacture, forecast, price, as well as track and schedule products. Functionality available in the manufacturing suite includes: availability to promise (ATP), standard cost, work-in-process (WIP), and routings.
NetSuite also has developed partnerships with 3D Design and Product Lifecycle Management companies, which will provide manufacturing customers with resources to manage the entire product lifecycle — from design to delivery — right in the cloud. In turn, organizations can focus more on creating quality products at high margins, and better adapting to shifts in the market.
