You got a cold call from someone today (or maybe last week) telling you that ‘Your company probably needs NSPB’, you politely decline, tell them to have a fantastic day and then hang-up. As you sit back into the quiet hums of your office, you ask yourself in a whisper ‘What the heck NSPB?’
NetSuite Planning and Budgeting (NSPB) automates labor-intensive planning and budgeting processes, enabling finance teams to quickly and easily produce budgets and forecasts, model what-if scenarios, and generate reports—all within one collaborative, scalable solution.
Embedded AI and machine learning automate data analysis to improve and accelerate planning and forecasting cycles, even generating detailed AI-driven commentary and narratives. By reducing the time spent on manual data collection, reporting, and data loading, finance teams can shift their focus from data entry and formula maintenance to strategic analysis activities that significantly impact the company’s financial position.
But the big question is, is your business even ready for NSPB? Knowing when to implement NSPB can make the difference between smooth adoption and missed opportunities. Let our team at Salora ERP help you evaluate your readiness and unlock the full potential of NSPB.
If you answered yes to two or all of these, you might want to consider a more robust platform than just scattered spreadsheets in your company's network of Dell computers.
Next, let's assess your NSPB readiness by checking on a few pain points from your current financial planning and budgeting process. Below, we expand on the common challenges businesses face and illustrate how NSPB can address each one:
Many finance teams find themselves caught in the repetitive cycle of manual data collection from various sources. This process not only eats into valuable time but also increases the likelihood of inconsistencies and human error. When team members are focused on gathering and aligning data rather than interpreting it, strategic opportunities are often overlooked. This can lead to slower response times and delays in implementing crucial business decisions.
NSPB automates the integration of data from multiple sources, creating a unified, real-time data pool. With centralized information, teams can shift their focus from manual work to meaningful analysis, improving efficiency and decision-making confidence.
Forecasting is essential for planning, but when done manually using spreadsheets, businesses often encounter errors from complex formulas and outdated data. This can result in forecasts that lack accuracy and reliability, leading to misguided business strategies and missed opportunities. The reliance on version control and inconsistent data updates compounds this issue, leaving businesses at risk of basing important decisions on flawed data.
NSPB enhances forecasting with its embedded AI and machine learning, processing vast amounts of historical and real-time data to create dependable, data-driven forecasts. By ensuring that everyone is working from the same data source, NSPB minimizes errors and improves the overall quality of forecasts.
Finance teams often spend a disproportionate amount of time preparing reports rather than interpreting and analyzing the data they present. The manual assembly of reports can take days or even weeks, pulling teams away from more strategic activities and delaying insights that could drive growth. The inefficiency of these processes leads to stale reports that may already be outdated by the time they reach stakeholders.
NSPB significantly reduces the time spent on report generation through automation and real-time dashboards. Customizable reporting templates allow teams to create comprehensive reports with just a few clicks, providing instant access to up-to-date information that empowers quicker decision-making.
Delayed decision-making is a common pain point when financial data isn’t updated in real-time. In fast-moving industries, this lag can mean missed opportunities and reactive rather than proactive decision-making. When businesses rely on static data sources and manual updates, they risk basing critical decisions on outdated information, potentially affecting profitability and competitive positioning.
NSPB supports real-time data updates, ensuring that reports, dashboards, and planning tools always reflect the latest data. This continuous flow of information helps decision-makers act swiftly and confidently, with tools that model what-if scenarios to prepare for potential changes and adjust plans accordingly.
Example: One of our clients reduced their quarterly budget updates by 50% after implementing NSPB, saving valuable time and improving decision accuracy!
