As part of its enterprise resource planning solution, NetSuite features many statistical tools that allow for budget planning, budgeting, projection and early forecasting. The tool supports revenue accounting and financial consolidation, along with subscription billing options. To improve accuracy and scalability, NetSuite uses approval workflows and scenario planning models. The tool also automatically updates models as new data emerges and allows for trend analysis of financial statements.
