Beggars Group Selects NetSuite OneWorld To Transform Finance Operations And Global Business Management

LONDON, Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NETSUITE SUITECONNECT -- NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that Beggars Group, the successful label confederacy, currently comprising of 4AD, Matador, Rough Trade, XL Recordings and Young Turks, whose rosters include the likes of Adele, Alabama Shakes, Bon Iver, Cat Power, Grimes, The National, Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Vampire Weekend, Jack White, FKA Twigs and The XX, has selected NetSuite OneWorld to replace an out of support on-premise ERP system, a collection of FileMaker Pro databases, and multiple Excel spreadsheets. Beggars Group will use NetSuite OneWorld to run mission-critical business operations including financial consolidation, inventory management, order management, expense management and multi-currency (US dollar, British pound, and Euro) across 22 subsidiaries worldwide, all within one single instance of NetSuite OneWorld and without incurring huge IT overhead and costs. Beggars Group will be able to gain a unified view into the business performance of each and every subsidiary and improve operational efficiency globally.

Poor Visibility with Legacy ERP Limits Ability to View Business Performance
Currently, Beggars Group's disparate systems result in a struggle to gain timely insight and visibility across its business, encompassing each of its record labels and business units in London and New York – and cumbersome manual data entry. Beggars Group is in need of a modern software solution to transform the way it manages Finance, Production and Sales as single global processes allowing it to focus on its core competency of representing some of the world's greatest selling recording artists.

"NetSuite is providing Beggars Group with exactly what we need, a global financial system that brings all of our diverse businesses together under one single cloud-based platform, allowing us to focus on our core competency of supporting our artists," said Paul Redding, CEO at Beggars Group.
