NetSuite’s SuitePhone brings on-demand ERP, CRM to the iPhone

Again, companies are trying to add some business-oriented functionalities to the iPhone. Next in line is NetSuite, a vendor of on-demand ERP and CRM solutions for small and medium sized businesses, which just launched SuitePhone – an easy to use web-based tool that simplifies business operations.

Using SuitePhone, back-office users can use their iPhone to remotely access their financial functionality such as invoicing, accounts receivable, and payroll. On the other hand, CRM users can enter leads, file expense reports, view contacts, and even place quotes and orders. E-commerce operations can also be readily managed through the iPhone and NetSuite’s role-based dashboards provide a “bird’s eye view of a business in real-time.”

Best of all, SuitePhone is available at no additional charge in NetSuite’s new NetSuite 2007.0 release, which is currently rolling out to existing customers. New customers will have to wait for August of this year though…
