Opstream vs. Netsuite
Netsuite is a robust ERP system that many organizations use as their source of truth for finance, procurement, and operations. However, when it comes to procurement orchestration, teams need more flexibility and accessibility. That’s where Opstream excels.
Opstream doesn’t aim to replace Netsuite but integrates seamlessly with it, offering enhanced visibility, customizable workflows, and an intuitive platform for all departments — not just finance. While Netsuite continues to serve as your ERP, Opstream provides a powerful orchestration layer that enables more collaborative and efficient procurement processes.
How Opstream Enhances Procurement Beyond Netsuite
Netsuite is powerful, but it can be difficult for non-finance teams to access and use effectively. Here’s how Opstream enhances your procurement processes while keeping Netsuite as your source of truth:
- Enhanced Visibility Across Departments: Netsuite is designed for finance and operations, often leaving other departments with limited access. With Opstream, more people across the organization can gain visibility into procurement activities without needing Netsuite licenses or training.
- Orchestration of Procurement Workflows: Opstream introduces an orchestration layer on top of Netsuite, enabling teams to manage and automate procurement workflows from intake to approval. This orchestration prevents siloed data, streamlines processes, and ensures procurement is collaborative and efficient across the entire organization.
- Customizable Workflows without IT Support: Netsuite’s procurement workflows can be rigid and require IT or external support to modify. Opstream offers a flexible, no-code workflow editor, allowing teams to make changes in real-time without relying on costly resources.
Opstream’s Key Benefits
1. Netsuite Remains Your Source of Truth, with Broader Visibility
Opstream integrates seamlessly with Netsuite, ensuring that it remains your source of truth for all financial and procurement data. However, Opstream enables more people across departments to access this information through a user-friendly interface, eliminating the need for additional Netsuite licenses.
2. Orchestration Layer for End-to-End Procurement
Opstream adds a procurement orchestration layer on top of Netsuite, providing more flexible workflows and automation to streamline procurement across departments. This orchestration layer helps manage the entire procurement lifecycle, from intake to vendor management, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
3. User-Friendly for All Departments
Unlike Netsuite, which can be complex for non-finance teams, Opstream is designed for ease of use across the entire company. Any department can easily request, approve, and manage procurement activities without needing extensive training, making procurement simpler for everyone.
4. Customizable Workflows without Additional Costs
Opstream allows users to create and modify procurement workflows with ease using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Unlike Netsuite, which often requires IT support for customization, Opstream gives you control over your procurement processes without the need for additional resources or costs.
5. Prevent Siloed Data with Seamless Integration
Opstream ensures that your procurement intake process integrates seamlessly with Netsuite, preventing siloed data and systems. This centralized approach enhances collaboration across teams and ensures all procurement data flows smoothly into your ERP.
