How to Integrate Salesforce and NetSuite Effectively?

Salesforce is the worldwide leader in making revolutionary business applications, served from the cloud and are designed to help generate leads for an organization. Also, it is a great aid in getting new customers, closing deals faster and sell, service and market in a smarter way.

NetSuite CRM is also a tool that provides true lifecycle management of customers starting from marketing and opportunity management, order management, customer up-sell, cross-sell, renewal and customer service. NetSuite CRM has key benefits like Streamlining lead-to-cash processes.

Why needed to integrate Salesforce and NetSuite?

Salesforce and NetSuite both are very popular CRM solutions. Salesforce is a very good tool for all the tasks related to lead generation and tracking, and on the other hand, NetSuite is great in finance handling. Since the differences in their features and usability, we decided to combine both these tools that help organizations gain a lot of benefit from them. Many organizations use NetSuite for Resource planning, pricing and order control and Salesforce for analysis and lead closing.

How to Integrate Salesforce and NetSuite

Integration means that data from Salesforce is transferred to NetSuite and vice versa in an automated way. The main aim of integration is to transfer data automatically, or by a button, without manual download or upload of data. There can be many ways to integrate the two systems but the most prominent of them are as follows:-

  • With the help of custom integration adapter as a custom middleware based integration.
  • Using a third-party integration service like Boomi AtomSphere, Actian or Informatica.
  • Creation with the help of Restlet web service-based integration using Netsuite and SalesforceAPI.

A lot of coding is required in developing an adapter and is time-consuming as well. Also, the performance is also not as good as the other two systems because of untested and unforeseen processes. This makes the use of the Third Party Service the most convenient and safe approach, but at the same time it also costly and does not have the flexibility as that available in customer integration approaches. Custom Restlet based integration is faster to develop and better in performance but again it is pricier when looking for a long-term setting than a  Salesforce Integration Service.
