Simplify Asset Management in NetSuite with NetAsset by Netgain

Henry Sack • March 11, 2024

Managing fixed assets in NetSuite can be challenging. From tracking depreciation to ensuring compliance with accounting standards, manual processes and fragmented systems often lead to errors, inefficiencies, and a lack of real-time visibility into your assets. NetAsset by Netgain is designed to address these pain points, providing a streamlined solution for fixed asset management directly within your NetSuite environment.


Key Challenges of Fixed Asset Management in NetSuite


Managing fixed assets in NetSuite without specialised tools creates a unique set of obstacles for businesses:



Manual Tracking and Calculations

Relying on spreadsheets for asset tracking and depreciation calculations is a recipe for errors and wasted time. Formulas need constant updating, data entry errors are common, and manually keeping track of depreciation schedules across various accounting standards is an incredibly labour-intensive task.

Compliance Risks

Adhering to the complexities of accounting standards like ASC 840 and IFRS 16 is crucial to ensuring compliance with modern accounting standards. Manually adapting NetSuite's native functionality to meet these standards is difficult, time-consuming, and increases the risk of non-compliance, which can lead to misstated financial reports and potential audit findings.


Limited Asset Visibility

Without a centralised system dedicated to asset tracking, you likely lack real-time information on vital asset details.  This includes accurate asset location, current status (in service, under repair, etc.), complete maintenance history, insurance and warranty information, and historical disposal data. The absence of this information  hinders informed decision-making about asset optimisation, replacement, and budgeting.
