NSExtend-ME delivers extended capabilities for Wholesale Distribution Businesses operating in Middle East

NSExtend-ME enhances native NetSuite functionality by improving the ability to track and link costs, and other performance liabilities, to sales and purchase transactions.

Additionally, the solution expands native NetSuite Landed Cost functionality to track estimated and actual document handling fees, custom duties and insurance.

Payment methods addressed in this solution include Letters of Guarantee and Letters of Credit. Additional features are invoice and purchase order forms that comply with local formats.

NSExtend-ME is being demonstrated for the first time at Gitex Technology Week, one of the largest IT exhibitions in the Middle East, being held in Dubai from 14-18th October 2012.

NSExtend-ME is built using NetSuite SuiteCloud, NetSuite's 'platform-as-a service' architecture that enables third-party developers to extend NetSuite to address unique vertical and international business requirements.

The features prioritized in the first release of NSExtend-ME are a direct result of Navigant Solutions' experience with the region, and 12 years of global NetSuite experience.

The NSExtend-ME represents a new milestone in Navigant Solutions' commitment to the region, one year after its initial launch of the trademarked SuiteAdministratorSM ME service, a set of best practices adopted by Navigant Solutions to enhance NetSuite deployment success in the Middle East.
