How To Manage The Entire Contract Lifecycle in NetSuite
Blog
Contracts must be perfect.
Failing to manage accurate documents could lead to legal issues, and poorly designed visuals might harm your professional image, which is crucial for gaining and keeping customer trust.
Many businesses store contracts in NetSuite, but what about the process before they're filed away in the world’s #1 cloud software suite?
Keeping the entire contract life cycle in NetSuite often lacks a simple way to link the editing phase directly with NetSuite records.
Let's first look at the risks of keeping contract changes outside of NetSuite, and later, we'll explain how one integration can solve these issues once and for all.

Version vortex
NetSuite is your ‘single source of truth’, yet many businesses undermine this eutopia by using multiple tools siloed from their system.
When it comes to editing contracts, it can be challenging to know which is the most recent document version if they’re stored in several locations.
For instance, the sales team might be using 'Contract Final' which is stored in Salesforce, when they should be using 'Contract Final (1)' - while the former contains some past changes, the latter supersedes them.
Customer clarity
Contracts often contain customer information stored solely in NetSuite.
For NetSuite users, understanding proposed changes from other departments is straightforward because they have access to this data.
However, the situation is different when roles are reversed!
If you lack visibility into customer information, making well-informed changes based on the latest data becomes challenging.
This may result in a flurry of messages back and forth as non-NetSuite users try to grasp the data you're referring to and its impact on the contract's content.
Inbox scavenger hunt
When contract edits happen outside NetSuite, they often end up in emails.
But emails have issues — no end-to-end encryption means your sensitive information can be exposed, and professionals deal with tons of messages daily.
Searching through your inbox for the latest contract version and related communication eats up time, causing stress, especially when deadlines approach quickly.
