Vast Selects NetSuite To Manage Global Growth Ambitions
Vast Renewables (Vast) is a world leader in concentrated solar thermal power (CSP), delivering clean, dispatchable power and heat and green fuels. Vast has developed CSP systems to generate, store and dispatch carbon free, utility-scale electricity and industrial heat, and to enable the production of green fuels.
Coming to Ndevr, and Finding Understanding
Vast evaluated multiple ERP systems prior to choosing Oracle NetSuite, and implementation partner; Ndevr. The company reached out to Ndevr, driven by their positive past experiences with Ndevr consultants and the range of ERP systems we offer for evaluation.
“We needed a system that extended beyond core financial capabilities and aligned with our broader business needs across Australia and our planned global sites. A cloud ERP solution that delivers accurate, timely consolidated P&L and reporting across locations, subsidiaries, currencies, and projects was essential” said Brad Flintoff, IT Manager for Vast.
“Ndevr was the first company to genuinely take the time to understand our business. They didn’t just push a product; instead, they showed us a system tailored to our specific requirements,” said Brad.
Rob Sheldrick, Ndevr’s Mid-Market Enterprise Sales Director said, “Vast needed a solution that didn’t require heavy internal IT resources and could be accessed directly through a browser without installing specific applications. NetSuite was a natural fit, addressing all their needs. Its capabilities include handling of complex financial structures, multi-country operations, and out-of-the-box business processes.”
NetSuite; A Robust Cloud ERP System To Grow With
In its early days, Vast used a cloud-based bookkeeping tool, which suited their initial needs. However, as they matured into an entity with construction projects, supply chain requirements, and diverse departmental needs, their system needed to evolve.
Vast required an ERP capable of handling regulatory requirements while also supporting their rapid growth.
“As a young and fast growing business, we wanted to establish rigorous business processes. That’s where NetSuite stood out — it comes with built-in, industry best-practice business processes that allow our team to focus on growth while adhering to proven methodologies, instead of spending time documenting and developing them,” said Brad
Working With Ndevr for NetSuite Implementation
“I’m glad we approached Ndevr. Initially, we had another ERP system in mind, but instead of just selling it to us, Rob took the time to truly understand our needs. Thanks to their efforts, we ended up with a solution far better suited to us and more cost-effective,” shared Brad.
NetSuite’s out-of-the-box business processes and scalability make it the perfect fit for Vast. It provides the robustness required for their current size and complexity while laying the foundation for long-term growth.
NetSuite’s out of the box, industry best business processes, are perfect for the size and stage of the Vast business, as well as providing them with the robustness and scalability that will underpin their growth for many years to come.
