NetSuite CRM is the customer relationship management module within Oracle NetSuite's cloud ERP platform. It provides sales force automation, marketing automation, and customer support capabilities natively integrated with NetSuite's financial, inventory, and order management systems.

NetSuite CRM eliminates the data silos between front-office CRM and back-office ERP by keeping sales, finance, and operations on a single platform. Sales teams can view real-time customer financial data, order history, and inventory availability directly within the CRM — enabling more accurate quoting and accelerating order-to-cash processes.
