In today’s digital economy, your business is only as productive as the system you run it on.
As your business expands and your accounting complexities grow, basic financials will only lead to endless limitations. Don’t let limited software hold you back. Learn the reasons why businesses are making the switch from Xero to NetSuite.
Are you trying to overcome the business challenges that emerge with disconnected applications, manual data entry and unsustainable spreadsheets? If your business is evaluating an alternative accounting/business management system, consider how NetSuite and Xero compare to meet the needs of your business today and in the future.
Both NetSuite and Xero were developed to handle finance and accounting processes but there is a considerable gap in terms of features and scalability to support increased efficiency.
Entry-level software can be essential to getting small businesses off the ground. Pre-customized systems make administrative tasks manageable for small teams who just need to master the basics. But as businesses grow, adding more and more platforms to keep processes running, and coordinating data between different software becomes more work than it’s worth.
Boost your efficiency by switching to an accounting solution that integrates with every department from day one.

About Xero
Xero is a cloud-based software for small businesses with tools for managing invoicing, payroll, inventory, purchasing, expenses, and connects to a live bank feed. With its user-friendly interface, 3 million subscribers, relatively inexpensive pricing tiers, and its modern system allowing users to work from anywhere, Xero is many businesses’ starter accounting software. Xero plans come with unlimited users and integrates over 1000 third-party apps to streamline data.
However, as Xero’s capabilities are limited to accounting, entrepreneurs will have to work with other systems to fulfill essential business processes- doubling time spent on data consolidation.

What can upgrading to an ERP system do for your company?
NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning integrates all functions and departments into one single system to streamline information, synchronize reporting, and enable automation across the entire organization.
Xero’s functionality is limited to what Xero as a proprietary company offers. To manage all parts of your business, you’ve probably had to use more than just Xero. And to make it work, you have to do a lota of duplicate data entry to keep everything in line. With an ERP- you get all the functions you need to run your business in one software.
