Projects are critical to your success as a business.
If they fall apart, time and recourse is wasted, causing financial loss, poor customer service, and reputational damage.
NetSuite is often a key proponent behind projects, acting as the single source of truth for customer data and documents, but consider how this only holds part of the overall picture.
Not everyone you collaborate with during projects works in NetSuite, causing your system to be riddled with data blind spots.
Let's explore the real pitfalls behind projects with only some of the information you need stored in NetSuite, and then, we’ll explain the easiest way to sort this.
Project pitfalls
Last year, 70% of companies experienced at least one failed project.
Project Management Works
37% of project failure is from a lack of clear goals.
Team Stage
Poor communication is the main reason for project failure a third of the time.

Dust collecting documents
NetSuite holds your project documents, but does it track the related communications?
Without this, grasping the nature of each document's lifecycle becomes a challenge.
This gap could lead to tasks being assigned incorrectly.
It's crucial to know who interacted with documents, how they engaged, and the reasons behind their engagement.
Without this insight, a document in NetSuite may remain inactive, lacking the ability to push your project across the finish line.
Communication black holes
Using different communication tools alongside NetSuite for projects leads to scattered and isolated messages.
A crucial piece of information, vital for progressing in your project, could be hidden in any of these messages.
Searching through platforms like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and emails can consume a lot of your valuable time, time better spent on more critical tasks.
Moreover, if you can't find what you're looking for, asking others for help further delays progress, interrupting not just your work but also that of other team members involved in the project.
Slow project decision making
Without a complete view of your project in NetSuite, making swift decisions is tough.
Sometimes, just one missing detail can delay tasks that could have been finished today, rather than tomorrow.
Only by having a full overview can you make quick, significant decisions that can save a lot of time by allowing you to adjust resources and deadlines proactively.
