Breaking The Email Silo

Most people like to use email to talk to their colleagues, clients and vendors, and in fact, 74% of us prefer it. Every year, we send 90 trillion emails, but it's important to think about how we manage all this communication. We don't want to create a separate place for information that could cause problems with following rules, helping customers, getting accurate reports, or taking a long time to make a sale.

‍

Using our NetSuite Outlook integration‍, your company can collect important information related to your business and store it in NetSuite records. This helps eliminate separate storage locations, create a reliable source of information, and make sure your entire team has access to what they need.

‍

Whether you're working in finance, sales or HR we've compiled some everyday business processes that can be streamlined by simply logging your emails in NetSuite via our Outlook addin - giving you extra time to focus on delivering value to your organisation.
