Requisitions and procurement

Track the procure-to-pay process, including encumbrances, requisitions, and budget reporting, in real time. NetSuite for Government’s purchasing management capabilities deliver cross-functional benefits by simplifying the process of placing, managing, and expediting purchase orders (POs). By tracking POs, local governments know what's on order and in what quantities and when items will be received, which is key for optimizing inventory levels. Organizations can create customized approval workflows tailored to their specific needs. For example, workflows can be created based on roles, departments, or other criteria and can be configured to include multiple levels of approval.

Planning and budgeting

Automate labor-intensive planning and budgeting processes to streamline budget creation and consolidation with NetSuite for Government’s planning and budgeting capabilities. Finance teams can produce budgets and forecasts, model what-if scenarios, and generate reports—all using one collaborative, scalable solution. They can also adjust budgets quickly and easily in response to changing economic conditions or legislative mandates. With less time spent on manual consolidation, troubleshooting, reporting, and data loading, finance staff can reallocate time to strategic activities that have a greater impact on the organization’s financial position.

Utility billing

Streamline utilities billing and service operations with a modern and powerful utility billing solution. Billing clerks can access a unified, 360-degree view of a customer's billing, financial, and service history, simplifying routine account management requests. A web-based customer portal offers self-serve bill payments and service requests, freeing up billing clerk time. NetSuite for Government’s powerful billing engine can support multiple flat-rate and tiered-rate services. Guided workflows eliminate the guesswork in resolving service requests. An intuitive reporting engine provides common prebuilt reports for managing utility operations as well as a drag-and-drop interface for building and exporting custom reports.

Human resource management

NetSuite for Government’s human resource management solution simplifies complex payroll processing, automates manual data entry, and provides a suite of capabilities that make HR service delivery easier and more efficient for everyone across the organization. With a single tool to manage human resources, payroll, and financials, organizations can eliminate third-party integrations, improve data accuracy, create a more engaging workforce experience, and make better-informed decisions to tightly align workforce performance with business performance.

Payroll

NetSuite for Government delivers a full-service payroll solution that automates payroll processes, including calculating gross-to-net earnings, withholding mandatory taxes, deducting benefits, and scheduling and issuing payments. Payroll batch previews help HR spot variances before payroll is run to reduce errors. Real-time general ledger (GL) postings keep GL accounts up to date and in balance. Finance leaders can drill down into financial reports from payroll summary costs to individual paychecks to gain insights and make more-informed decisions.

KPIs and dashboards

Get role-based metrics, reminders, and analytics at your fingertips. NetSuite for Government’s reporting and dashboard solution provides built-in, real-time reporting, searches, key performance indicators (KPIs), and dashboards. With embedded analytics, local governments can perform actionable analysis and gain meaningful operational and financial insights into performance across multiple departments and teams. Be confident that decisions are backed by accurate and timely information. Better yet, when used properly, analytics enable organizations to recognize patterns that can predict—and guide decision-makers toward— the best possible outcomes.
