SINGAPORE, May 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NetSuite Inc.
(NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based
financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, has
helped nonprofit organisation Image Mission Ltd deploy NetSuite to
transform its business operations, enabling them to focus on their
core mission of empowering disadvantaged women. Through a
NetSuite.org software donation, Image Mission is using NetSuite for
accounting, inventory management and customer relationship
management (CRM), helping the charity to streamline and manage its
customer and donor database, as well as its volunteer support
program more efficiently. The implementation of NetSuite was
well-timed to help Image Mission manage its growth; its client
profile has more than tripled three months after going live with
NetSuite.
Image Mission manages Dress for Success® Singapore, a program aimed to empower women to
achieve economic independence. The program offers long-lasting
benefits that enable women to break the cycle of poverty by
providing them with a network of support, professional attire and
development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.
Prior to deploying NetSuite, Image Mission faced difficulties in
managing their daily operations, particularly for processes related
to cost and resourcing. As a solely volunteer-run nonprofit
organisation, Image Mission struggled with limited resources and
managed its volunteer database and duty roster manually through
spreadsheets. Now, an online volunteer application form integrates
volunteer data seamlessly and enables the organisation to manage
volunteer availability and skills more efficiently.
"NetSuite has helped to redefine business for nonprofit
organisations in Singapore," said
Li Kin Pang, Founder of Image
Mission. "It has significantly simplified our challenges and
provides us with access to information anywhere, anytime which is
critical for a company like us which is run 100-percent by
volunteers. It has made achieving our goal to serve 400 women in
Singapore this year much more
attainable."
To further support this worthy cause, NetSuite, through its
Corporate Citizenship arm Netsuite.org donated its software suite
to Image Mission. With the help of NetSuite SuiteVolunteers,
NetSuite's Pro Bono Volunteer Program that matches the professional
skills of NetSuite employees with the needs of nonprofits and
social enterprises receiving a software donation, the solution was
deployed in October 2015.
NetSuite provides Image Mission with the following benefits:
Real-time access and visibility. Image Mission can now
oversee its operations with full transparency, providing real-time
information and enabling business information to be accessible
without delay. Image Mission now has complete visibility into CRM
operations that integrate client, volunteer and referral partner
information. Says Ms Pang, "Key volunteer personnel are able to
access real-time information on clients' progress and better
co-ordinate efforts to support them on their journey to career
success. We can focus on building stronger relationships and
partnerships."
Improved efficiency and productivity. NetSuite has
enabled Image Mission to create an automated online volunteer form,
which results in higher efficiency and better manpower allocation.
Image Mission is now able to better identify volunteers' capability
and availability, and match their skills with relevant assignments.
Within just a few months, NetSuite's functionality and flexibility
streamlined Image Mission's operations—its client database in
Singapore has more than tripled,
from 12 at the end of last year to the current 50.
Timely and accurate reporting. As a registered charity
and non-profit organisation, Image Mission has to comply with
government regulations and submit financial reports to local
authorities, namely Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority
(ACRA) and the Singapore Charity Council. Since the deployment,
NetSuite has been utilised to generate all the reports, which now
gives an accurate and timely overview of its operations.
Accelerating growth. With further support from NetSuite,
Image Mission hopes to reach out to a wider audience to support and
strengthen the Dress for Success® Singapore programme through the set-up of an
integrated online marketing and donation platform.
According to Zakir Ahmed, Vice
President and General Manager, NetSuite Asia: "This is part of our
efforts to give back to the community, and we are excited to have
played a part in Image Mission's admirable vision to create equal
opportunity for disadvantaged women in Singapore. By shifting their manual processes
to NetSuite's Cloud ERP, the organisation is now better able to
manage their costs, improve productivity and focus their efforts to
help empower more women in achieving their dreams to become
financially independent."
