As most financial and leadership teams will attest, forecasting under normal circumstances can be cumbersome and challenging, and in today’s current environment, it might seem even impossible.

But as the economy reopens, it’s crucial for businesses to build out scenarios based on their current state and assume a wide range of outcomes, accounting for sales, expenses and cash flow, with some of that dependent on outcomes related to the labor force and supply chain disruptions, for example.

As part of the unified suite, NetSuite Planning and Budgeting makes this process seamless, reducing stress during an already stressful time.

On this episode of “The NetSuite Podcast,” we’re joined by Nate Mariner, the Global Senior Business Manager for NetSuite Planning and Budgeting, who dives into the solution’s capabilities and why those capabilities are so crucial to helping businesses navigate the current climate.
