For finance and accounting teams using Emburse Expense Professional (formerly Certify) and NetSuite, we’re excited to announce key updates and improvements to the Emburse NetSuite Connector.

This powerful integration builds on our decade-long partnership with NetSuite and simplifies the flow of data between both our solutions, reducing time, effort, and the complexities often associated with maintaining accurate spend data. It’s a game-changer for finance teams who want to streamline their finance processes without sacrificing accuracy or control.

Here’s how the connector can transform your finance workflow and optimize your operations:

What is the Emburse NetSuite Connector?

The NetSuite Connector for Emburse Expense Professional enables a direct sync between Emburse and NetSuite solutions, empowering users to automate data imports and exports and effortlessly maintain a single source of truth. By directly linking these two systems together, administrators gain a streamlined, accurate, and reliable flow of information, supported by a user-friendly interface that makes authentication, configuration and data mapping a breeze.

Key Features:

  • Direct, Bidirectional Data Syncing: Gone are the days of manually exporting and importing CSV files. The connector automates data flow between Emburse and NetSuite, reducing the time and resources needed to maintain accurate financial records. Plus, you can easily set a custom sync schedule that optimizes the timing to not interfere with syncs between NetSuite and other systems, improving operational efficiency.
  • Self-Service Setup: The connector provides an intuitive setup experience with a guided workflow, empowering administrators to authenticate and configure quickly and efficiently. User management options enable you to import employees, vendors, or both, automating a typically manual step to save administrators time and effort. You can also use filtering to import a subset of your records, ensuring only the necessary data syncs from NetSuite.
  • Flexible Mapping Options: We understand that each organization is unique. With this connector, you have the tools to map card programs in Emburse to a credit card account or vendor in NetSuite to ensure transactions post correctly, as well as map primary fields from NetSuite to general ledger dimensions (GLDs) in Emburse for greater configuration control.
  • Enhanced Transparency and Reconciliation: Triage failed exports, view error messages, and choose the next action in one error management interface, enabling issues to be addressed sooner for faster reconciliation. With the ability to prevent data from falling through the cracks, you can ensure your NetSuite system always reflects an accurate, up-to-date picture of your organization’s spend.

Why You’ll Love It

The Emburse NetSuite Connector eliminates the need for a manual flat file integration, instead offering an easy-to-manage, automated sync experience. As expenses are processed in Emburse Expense Professional, they are automatically exported to NetSuite as an expense report or vendor bill, depending on your organization’s accounting setup. Additionally, any changes made in NetSuite—such as updates to employee, vendor, customer, and project records—are synced back to Emburse Expense Professional on a scheduled basis.

Additional Benefits:

  • Guided Configuration: Competing solutions often require external support for setup, which can increase costs and slow down implementation. With Emburse, administrators can easily navigate the setup on their own without needing technical expertise, saving time and money.
  • Direct Integration Without Third Parties: Built entirely in-house, our connector doesn’t rely on third-party middleware, adding an extra layer of data security and control. Emburse’s in-house team, with 20 years of integration expertise, has designed a solution that aligns with industry standards and best practices.
  • Exceptional Usability: We offer a cleaner, more admin-friendly experience compared to competitors like Concur and Expensify, whose connectors can be complex and costly to manage.
