ERP systems like NetSuite are essential for centralising business operations—but they often fall short when it comes to deeper analysis and decision-making. From delayed reporting to limited integrations, these gaps make it hard to get a complete view of your business.
This is where Kleene comes in. With built-in AI-powered Next Best Action recommendations, Kleene goes beyond data flexibility—guiding you from reactive reporting to confident, proactive decision-making.
But, let’s get into the four limitations of of ERP systems:
- Slow extraction of reports & inconsistent data
- No ability to blend data from other sources
- Limited dashboards and reports
- Difficult to build strategic initiatives
1. Slow extraction of reports & inconsistent data
NetSuite’s built-in reporting tools, like Saved Searches, can’t keep up with today’s speed of business. Generating reports is often slow and technically complex—especially with high data volumes.
The result? Delayed decisions, outdated data, and missed opportunities across teams like sales and operations.
Kleene solves this by:
- Delivering up-to-date dashboards for immediate insights into sales, products, and performance
- Combining NetSuite data with all other sources in one platform
- Pre-running queries to enable fast, ad-hoc reports
2. No ability to blend data from other sources
NetSuite wasn’t built to easily blend with third-party data. Trying to ingest external data into NetSuite often slows reporting even further and creates messy table structures. This leads to siloed insights and time-consuming manual processes—especially when combining marketing, sales, or customer data.
Kleene solves this by:
- Powering unified dashboards that combine everything in one view
- Seamlessly integrating all your data sources alongside NetSuite
- Transforming raw data into clean, business-ready inputs
3. Limited dashboards and reports
NetSuite’s dashboards are functional—but limited. They don’t support cross-functional insights or rich visualisations without heavy manual work and data exports to Excel.
Plus, they can’t display insights from data sources outside of NetSuite.
Kleene solves this by:
- Enabling SKU-level reporting, performance views, and more
- Connecting to tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker
- Delivering interactive dashboards with data from across your business
4. ERP Systems Don’t Support Strategic Growth Initiatives
ERP platforms like NetSuite are excellent at storing and organising data—but they often fall short when it comes to powering strategic initiatives like demand forecasting, margin optimisation, or marketing attribution.
They lack the flexibility, contextual insights, and real-time recommendations needed to drive forward-looking decisions.
Kleene solves this by:
- Centralising all your data across departments for a unified view
- Enabling flexible modelling that reflects your business logic and goals
- Embedding AI-powered Next Best Action insights, so your teams always know the smartest move to make—whether that’s improving profit margin, adjusting inventory, or accelerating a high-performing marketing channel
- Empowering every team, from marketing to operations, to take decisive action—without waiting on engineering
With Kleene, strategy becomes proactive—not reactive.
