The Challenge That Led to SuiteReport

As business expanded, The Legacy Printing’s finance team struggled with operational inefficiencies that limited visibility, slowed down reporting cycles, and created compliance risks. Despite using NetSuite, their reporting processes were still heavily manual and reactive.

The Transformation Journey

From fragmented workflows to streamlined reporting

Manual NetSuite Exports

Finance teams repeatedly pulled raw data into Excel, increasing workload and error risk

Repetitive Report Building

Each month required manual formatting, formula updates, and validations from scratch

Automated Templates

Standardised Excel templates now generate reports instantly using live NetSuite data

Real-Time Financials

Data updates in real time—no lags, no re-exports, no version issues

Strategic Finance Visibility

Live dashboards and dynamic forecasts support faster, data-backed decisions

Key Challenges

Even with NetSuite in place, The Legacy Printing’s finance team faced major inefficiencies that slowed decision-making and strained resources.

There was no unified template system, causing discrepancies across departments and making executive reporting inconsistent and reactive.
Without live data access, key insights like margin shifts or capital trends lagged behind, reducing agility in financial planning.
Rolling forecasts and budget comparisons were managed in disconnected Excel files, making strategic adjustments slow and manual.
