Automating Subscription Based Business leveraging NetSuite
Case Study | Background
Confidential to Yantra 2
The success of the project was crucial to the company’s a broader sales strategy and plan which depended on a high degree of process efficiency and improved stability to the core product itself. Several key areas were addressed: • Process design for quote-to-cash across all sales channels • De-couple certain foundation data and functions from the product itself to enable
migration to new ERP and Billing platforms • Unification of systems and processes utilizing the new ERP platform (NetSuite) • Product integration with NetSuite Recurring Billing to enable automation of
Order-to-Cash and Provisioning processes • Stop Revenue Leakage and define Revenue Reporting The following pages present Yantra’s overall approach to the project and sample deliverables.
Yantra was engaged by a large Enterprise technology company to re-engineer the Order-to-Cash and Finance processes for a recently acquired subsidiary whose product suite consists of a SaaS-based “synch and share” file management solution. The project charter required the implementation of NetSuite ERP and Recurring Billing Platform, a re-designed Quote-to-Cash process, Re-engineering of the core product to integrate with NetSuite, and the integration of other cloud-based systems (SalesForce, Marketo, and ZenDesk) with NetSuite.
