Maritime Software and Service Company Sets Sail After Move to NetSuite OneWorld

A 27-year-old company that had grown organically providing software solutions and services for the maritime industry, Napa Ltd.’s operations had not only outgrown its native Finland but the company severely outgrew its accounting, CRM and project management software. A midsized company with the needs of a global enterprise, Napa determined it needed a cloud-based ERP suite. However, the options for an ERP system with local support and the functionality required were few.

“NetSuite opened our eyes into our global activities. We are better equipped to support the business and share critical data.” Mikko Varhe, CFO, Napa Ltd.

Global Operations United on a Single System

OneWorld the clear favorite over SAP: With seven subsidiaries spread across the globe, each on a different software system, some running their business with Excel spreadsheets and manual processes, Napa had limited visibility into operations and many inefficient, complex processes. The company chose NetSuite OneWorld over SAP Business ByDesign thanks to its native cloud history and long track record of success.

Implementation presents chance for process overhaul: NetSuite OneWorld has a unified system for project management, customer, financial, inventory and warehouse data, giving Napa real-time global visibility. The implementation also presented an opportunity to modernize its business processes to reflect leading practices with the help of NetSuite professional services.

Room to grow: With a unified platform in place, Napa has improved how it prices and maintains a robust base of customer contracts and can now continue to fine tune its business processes to gain efficiencies, with plans to broaden its NetSuite footprint with financial planning, human capital management and ecommerce.
