Customer Success
NetSuite provides efficiency that enables Positive Coaching Alliance to better focus on its
mission of developing "Better Athletes, Better People" through partnerships with 1,700+
schools and youth organizations.
SuiteCommerce web storefront accepts charitable donations and drives sales of coaching and
training services delivered by more than 100 trainers in the U.S..
Up to 100 data transactions a day that used to take up to three hours to manually process
are now fully automated through NetSuite.
Dual donation and service sales revenue streams update automatically in NetSuite Financials,
eliminating time-consuming manual work.
Positive Coaching can offer NetSuite access to all employees for self-service, whereas in
the past only the senior accountant could access QuickBooks.
NetSuite provides management and real-time visibility for Bay Area headquarters and nine
regional offices across the U.S., with more offices to open soon.
Positive Coaching Alliance has realized steady double-digit revenue growth since going live
on NetSuite in 2009.
Challenges
Manual processes involving QuickBooks, Excel and a custom-built website hurt efficiency and
diverted valuable resources from core mission.
Positive Coaching Alliance suffered delays in visibility into revenue stream and expenses,
making it difficult to forecast and adapt.
Founded in 1998, Positive Coaching Alliance needed a modern cloud solution to enable greater
agility and mobility with anywhere, anytime access.
Solution
NetSuite.org program made available
discounted version of NetSuite and SuiteCommerce to the non-profit as a single integrated
system for key business processes.
Positive Coaching Alliance is taking advantage of NetSuite.org SuiteVolunteers program, with
two NetSuite volunteers implementing custom scripts to support income allocations.
NetSuite selected after comparisons against Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains), Financial
Edge and Sage to replace on-premise QuickBooks system.
