Customer Success
NetSuite supplies a uniform, scalable platform for global operations for revenue management
software provider in the amusement, gaming and leisure industry.
Helix Leisure has significantly grown its sales and workforce in its first 1½ years on
NetSuite, with its software installed at entertainment venues at 1,000+ locations.
NetSuite OneWorld gives Helix Leisure global business management across Australian
headquarters and subsidiaries in Dallas, Dubai, Singapore and the U.K.
Helix Leisure leverages OneWorld for efficient multi-currency transactions in Euros, Dirham,
British Pound and Australian, Singapore & US Dollars, replacing Excel-based processes.
Built-in OneWorld international taxation capabilities support sales tax and VAT compliance
in the U.K., Australia, Singapore and the U.S.
Real-time financials support accurate, timely reporting to Helix's parent company, the LAI
Group.
Monthly financial close time reduced from 15 to five days while eliminating three full-time
accounting positions.
Replacing Salesforce.com, NetSuite CRM gives Helix Leisure’s sales reps a single on-demand
customer view linked to NetSuite-based product and price data.
NetSuite multi-location inventory management gives Helix Leisure real-time visibility into
hardware component stock across five countries.
Improved control of support & license income, using NetSuite’s automated revenue
recognition software.
Challenges
Helix Leisure struggled with delays and manual work while running MYOB in Australia and
Singapore, Sage in the U.K. and QuickBooks in the U.S.
Entry-level desktop applications lacked the functional scope and global support that the
fast-growing company needed.
Global financial visibility required waiting until month’s end to tally up numbers with
manual work.
Sales order and customer invoicing could be delayed and varied across the Group.
Solution
Selected over Intacct, NetSuite's multinational cloud ERP solution was ideal for Helix
Leisure’s distributed global operations.
NetSuite OneWorld went live after a rapid three-month implementation with no significant
obstacles.
Improved customer communication, utilizing NetSuite's quotes, sales orders and invoicing to
give customers a uniform system across all office.
