NetSuite Inc a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for the mid- market enterprise and divisions of large companies, announced a new vertical suite for manufacturing companies.
NetSuite for Manufacturers, which includes new functionality for Assembly, Work Order and Bill of Materials, takes aim at SAP's core market and seeks to exploit the prolonged delay of SAP's Business ByDesign product roll-out, providing mid-sized manufacturers with an integrated on-demand solution they can put to work.
"NetSuite has been offering vertical suites for the wholesale/distribution industry for a while with a proven track record," said Bruce Richardson, Chief Research Officer, AMR Research.
"Manufacturers have been longing for SaaS offerings to build better overall total cost-of-ownership.
Until this release from NetSuite, there haven't been any broad SaaS product offerings that include financials, CRM, Ecommerce and manufacturing.
The on- demand suite approach-pioneered by NetSuite-could prove to be a major market accelerator."
