Inclusive Employers went live on NetSuite in four months, 10% under budget
TrueVantage delivered a NetSuite ERP and SuitePeople implementation for Inclusive Employers, an inclusion and diversity consultancy, replacing Sage 50 accounting and Excel-based HR. NetSuite Core Financials, Fixed Assets, SuiteProjects and SuitePeople now cover finance, projects and HR in one system. Discovery to Phase 1 go-live took four months, and the project was delivered 10% under the original budget.
How the Inclusive Employers NetSuite project ran
Before
Sage 50 accounting, no project management system and HR in Excel
Inclusive Employers are Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) experts. They offer a variety of I&D services to help organisations, employees and management understand the value of everyday inclusion, as well as to provide a deeper understanding of specific topics.
Before partnering with TrueVantage for their NetSuite implementation, Inclusive Employers faced several challenges stemming from their outdated Sage 50 accounting software:
- Manual processes and limited functionality hindered financial management, leading to errors, delays and an inability to scale effectively.
- There was no formal project management system, which meant disjointed workflows and difficulty tracking project costs and progress.
- Human capital management (HCM) processes ran in Excel, making it hard to manage employee data, streamline HR processes and foster a cohesive organisational culture.

Throughout the implementation, we had a supportive and engaging partner in TrueVantage who helped us navigate through the challenges of change effectively and ensured we ended up with a solution that was right for our business.
