Whilst Oracle NetSuite is a comprehensive Business Management Platform, many businesses seek to enhance their NetSuite accounting further to tightly align to the unique needs of their business and industry.
Businesses in heavily regulated industries such as banking, healthcare, and government often need to adhere to very specific compliance regulations. Other businesses may have unique workflows or require special integrations with other software solutions. Similarly, others may want to take advantage of the
NetSuite platform’s customisation capabilities to create a completely unique user experience for their employees or customers.
In all these cases, businesses need to extend or customise the out-of-the-box functionality that NetSuite provides. This is where the
NetSuite Development Platform comes in – it enables businesses to create custom applications on top of the NetSuite platform to meet their specific needs.
The NetSuite Development Platform is a set of tools and technologies that developers and NetSuite partners can use to create custom applications on top of the NetSuite platform. These applications can be used to extend or customise the functionality of NetSuite, or to create completely new applications that are built on top of NetSuite.
Let's take a look at some of the key technologies that make up the NetSuite Development Platform.
The Development Platform consists of eight main components:
The SuiteCloud platform is a set of tools and services that developers can use to build and deploy custom NetSuite applications. SuiteCloud includes the SuiteCloud IDE, SuiteFlow, SuiteScript, and SuiteTalk web services, as well as a number of other tools and services.
SuiteBuilder delivers a point-and-click environment for configuring customised functionality. This interface allows developers to create custom-developed solutions simply, minimising application development and deployment timeframes.
SuiteFlow provides click-not-code workflow management for simple to complex automation that streamlines business processes and optimises the flow of information between departments and users.
With SuiteAnalytics, businesses can access the data they need when they need it to improve decision-making across the company. SuiteAnalytics gives users access to a report-building tool that can use any data in NetSuite to create custom reports and dashboards. SuiteAnalytics offers more comprehensive functionality than the standard saved search and report writing modules, with advanced features including real-time alerts, scorecards, and pivot tables.
SuiteScript is a server-side JavaScript development environment that enables developers to create custom functionality and integrations with NetSuite. SuiteScript can be used to automate business processes, integrate with third-party applications, or build completely new modules, portlets and views not otherwise available.
Suitelets are server-side scripts that can be used to create advanced user interface elements for NetSuite dashboards. Suitelets can be used to build data entry forms, front-end specialty applications, or any other type of user interface element.
With SuiteTalk, businesses can integrate their NetSuite data with third-party applications, or build custom integrations between different parts of their NetSuite environment. SuiteTalk offers SOAP-based and REST-based web services to enable communication between different software solutions, giving developers the flexibility they need regardless of the solution that needs to be integrated.
SuiteCloud IDE is an Eclipse-based IDE that is packaged for NetSuite platform development. It includes a number of features specifically for NetSuite development, including project templates, code completion, syntax checking, and advanced script testing.
SuiteBundler is a tool that developers can use to package and distribute their NetSuite Customisations. SuiteBundler makes it easy to manage dependencies between different elements of Customisation and deploy those Customisations to other NetSuite accounts.
There are many benefits to customising NetSuite using the SuiteCloud platform. By leveraging the point-and-click interface of SuiteBuilder, businesses can minimise the amount of time and effort needed to develop and deploy Customisations. In addition, the workflow engine of SuiteFlow provides a way to automate business processes without having to write code. And finally, with SuiteAnalytics, businesses can create custom reports and dashboards to gain insights into their data.
Using NetSuite's Customisation tool set can help businesses save time and money by reducing the amount of time needed to develop and deploy Customisations. In addition, the toolset can help businesses automate their processes and gain insights into their data.
Some common use cases for customising NetSuite include:
Choosing the Right NetSuite Customisation and Development Partner
When considering a NetSuite Customisation and development partner, it is important to choose a partner who deeply understands the NetSuite platform and how to best leverage its features.
