Customer use case

October 08 2021

Lengow logo

Issue/Needs - Sustained Growth with Netsuite

The collaboration between Novutech and Lengow was initiated following the successful implementation of NetSuite at Ibanfirst, a long-time client of Novutech. As a portfolio company of Marlin Equity Partners, like Ibanfirst, Lengow was referred to Novutech to benefit from our expertise in Cloud ERP solutions. This marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration. Needing a robust ERP tool to support their business and expansion, Lengow chose NetSuite to optimize its accounting processes, the bank reconciliation, and the quality of its management reporting through the standardization of KPIs across the various group companies. Novutech extended the implementation to their French and Spanish subsidiaries, anticipating future expansion.

Key NetSuite Features Leveraged by Lengow

In the scope of our partnership, Novutech integrated various powerful NetSuite features to meet the specific needs of Lengow, thus optimizing their process management.
  • Consolidation and Financial Reporting: given Lengow's geographic and multi-company scope, Novutech assisted Lengow teams to integrate their French and Spanish subsidiaries into NetSuite, with comprehensive transactional and reporting tools.
  • Integration with Zuora Tool: NetSuite's flexibility facilitated integration with other software such as Zuora (subscription billing tool).
  • Invoicing and Credit: NetSuite's invoicing feature automated Lengow's processes, improving operational efficiency. Credit management was integrated to ensure secure transactions.
  • Revenue Recognition: automation using Zuora as a source for revenue recognition provides a clear view of financial performance.
  • Supplier Payments Management: NetSuite facilitates supplier payments management for Lengow, ensuring smooth and secure transactions.
  • Integration of ZoneReconcile (Zone & Co): Novutech successfully led the integration of the bank reconciliation tool ZoneReconcile into Lengow's NetSuite tenant, in close collaboration with Zone & Co consultants.
  • Assets Module and Depreciation Management: the use of NetSuite’s Fixed Assets module ensures effective tracking of assets, with precise depreciation management.
  • Transaction Matching and Allocation Schedule: NetSuite offers advanced features to Lengow for transaction matching and allocation schedule, ensuring accurate matching of financial data.
  • Standard NetSuite Transactions: Novutech implemented and trained Lengow on the efficient creation and use of standard NetSuite accounting transactions (Journal entries, Customer and Supplier Invoices and Credits, Customer and Supplier Payments, etc.).
  • Management of Accrued Expense: Novutech assisted Lengow in building expertise in generating accrued expense journal entries.
  • Intercompany Management with our Novupack add-on solution: our Intercompany Automation Novupack was successfully integrated, providing transparent management of intercompany transactions between different subsidiaries.
 

Benefits of Working with Novutech

  • Accounting Expertise: our team provided essential accounting expertise to ensure accurate accounting.
  • Personalised Support: following a project methodology, we offered step-by-step support.
  • Availability and Travel: our availability and frequent visits to their offices (in France and Spain) were highly appreciated during the implementation.
 

Challenges Faced

  • Connectivity with Zuora: Customizing the Zuora connector took time and close collaboration with the external provider responsible for the Zuora integration. Challenges related to data quality also arose and had to be resolved.
  • Constantly Evolving Needs: New needs emerged along the way (especially around managing provisions for accounts receivable, etc.).

Current Situation - Growth and Continuous Optimization

Currently, Novutech continues to support Lengow in its growth by providing ongoing support. Our expertise is also being utilized to enhance financial reports and optimize data transmission. In summary, Novutech is proud to be Lengow's trusted partner, helping them achieve their growth objectives through a successful digital transformation.

Andovar: Customer testimonial

Customer use case

October 08 2021

Who is Andovar

Andovar bills itself the ‘Global Translation Company’ and is a renowned service provider specialising in translation and content localization. The company is domiciled in Singapore and has offices in Thailand, Colombia, India and Hungary. They provide one-stop-shop services covering translation, localization, voiceover, dubbing, content creation and localization consultation to assist businesses in effectively reaching international audiences.  Backed by a dedicated team and using industry leading technology, Andovar ensures the delivery of top-notch, culturally relevant content in 265+ language pairs to clients spanning diverse enterprises, such as travel, software, media & advertising, government & NGO, energy, retail, manufacturing and many more. Their unwavering dedication to quality and client satisfaction establishes them as a reliable partner for businesses seeking global expansion and influence.  Since its establishment in 2007, Andovar has become the partner of choice for over 2000 clients, including some of the world’s most influential brands, like Spotify, Sony, AirBnB, Oracle and other household names.

The reason for change/ their needs

Andovar collaborates with over 10,000 freelance translators, each with varying workloads and unique areas of expertise. Over time, the company evaluates and rates these freelancers to determine their suitability for specific tasks.  Managing such a large pool of freelance suppliers can be extremely time-consuming. Not only is there a need to oversee and evaluate their work, but also to follow-up administratively on their frequent requests for profile updates. As translators accumulate experience, they acquire new skills and may wish to modify their source language and target language (or languages), as well as their address, contact information, and other profile data.  Having served as Andovar’s trusted optimization and support partner for their NetSuite ERP system since 2019, Novutech was asked to advise on possible solutions to automate the huge amount of administrative work involved with the management of the freelance service suppliers. In conjunction with the team at Andovar, we designed a solution that would allow translators to autonomously manage most aspects of their profile information, in a self-service mode.  

The solution

Our Novutech development team has developed a fully customized suitelet using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. This suitelet serves as a portal for suppliers, providing them with the ability to log in, access their information, and make updates as required. It also offers the convenience of multiple profiles, accommodating suppliers with diverse roles. The complete customization of this suitelet empowers suppliers to effortlessly modify their information within a portal that mirrors the identity and branding of Andovar.  

The benefits

This portal has significantly lightened the workload for the Andovar admin team by reducing the number of manual changes to translator records. Going forward, the Andovar team will only handle critical edits, such as email addresses updates or payment method changes. Additionally, translators now have the benefit of real-time access to their profile information. This enhancement is another good example of the value-adding optimization and support partnership between Novutech and Andovar, where we continuously explore new ways for Andovar to maximize the investment on their NetSuite system.  

Quote

“The level of attention paid by Novutech over the last five years and their professionalism has allowed us to kill the basket of bugs, frustrations and wicked problems that we have accumulated over our 17-year NetSuite subscription and develop tailored solutions unique to our industry. Daniel Cooper Chief Technology Officer at Andovar NetSuite is really the only web-based comprehensive platform for SME to multinational firms on the market.  It forms the base operating system for our business and, as we grow and start looking for new features, we find them ready-to-run in NetSuite.” Daniel Cooper Chief Technology Officer at Andovar Do you want to know more about our expertise and how we run NetSuite implementations?

Integrating Tagetik with NetSuite: A Seamless Solution for Financial Consolidation

NetSuite articles

October 08 2021

Introduction

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the need for seamless integration between financial management systems has become paramount.  Many companies recognized this necessity and embarked on journeys to optimize their financial consolidation processes. Because often a best-of-breed consolidation tool is used that rearranges and transforms the basic information from the ERP systems to achieve correct consolidated reporting. This article explores the innovative solution provided by Novutech to streamline trial balance exports via SuiteQL, bridging the gap between Tagetik and NetSuite.  

Streamlining Trial Balance Export: The Challenge

While NetSuite's standard features offer powerful capabilities for financial consolidation, some large organizations may have only a portion of their business operations managed within NetSuite, with other parts integrated into different ERP systems. Some of these companies use CCH Tagetik Consolidation software as an overlay and might face inefficiencies in communication between NetSuite and Tagetik, often necessitating manual CSV file transfers. These companies aim to automate the export of trial balance data from NetSuite to Tagetik seamlessly, with a focus on saving time and enhancing flexibility, data accuracy, and reliability.  

Designing the Solution

Novutech proposed a comprehensive solution leveraging SuiteQL queries. The solution encompassed two key phases:

Part 1: Streamlining Data Generation from NetSuite

  • Designing a SuiteQL Query to aggregate transaction amounts by GL account and other classifications.
  • Developing a Suitelet/Page for user interaction, enabling selection of period and subsidiaries for trial balance export.
  • Automating the export process triggered by user actions, generating CSV files and storing them in the NetSuite File Cabinet.

tagetik integration with netsuite

Part 2: Streamlining Data Import in Tagetik

  • Uploading CSV files to Tagetik's SFTP server for automatic import.
  • Implementing scheduling capabilities for exporting and importing trial balances based on user-defined frequencies.
The proposed solution incorporated custom scripts, records, and interfaces tailored to the requirements of companies seeking financial consolidation solutions. In summary, the key elements of the seamless integration between NetSuite and Tagetik include:
  • Suitelet for trial balance export selection.
  • Scheduled script for SuiteQL execution and CSV export.
  • Custom record for tracking export processes.

Conclusion

This journey highlights the transformative potential of seamless integration between NetSuite and Tagetik. Through the implementation of SuiteQL integration, companies can streamline trial balance exports, improving efficiency, accuracy, and agility in financial consolidation

The transformative power of investing in soft skills

Novutech culture

October 08 2021

soft skills How often do you take time to invest in getting to know your colleagues better? Chances are, you have a strong desire to do so, but somehow never find the right moment to sit with your colleagues, leave the business world at the door and dive into each other’s personalities. 

Here are three main reasons why soft skills should be put at the center of a prosperous workplace culture

Teamwork makes the dream works

Being a teamplayer is rarely a gift given by mother nature. If you want to bring your business to the next level, you need to have a great collaboration among your employees. Even though their hard skills are key, their soft skills are more than the cherry on top. They make a real difference by bridging the gap between colleagues and fostering a true team spirit.  Empathy, self-awareness, social skills… These are the “real deal” when it comes to being a great team, respectful of each and everyone’s personalities. 

Personal leadership is the new sexy

Many people tend to associate the word “leader” with the word “team” when, in reality, no team is needed to awaken and boost your leadership skills. Integrity, influence, vision, courage… It all starts with you.  Finding time to dive deep into yourself is the greatest gift you can offer to yourself and others. It’s important to clarify that this isn’t about prioritizing yourself selfishly; it’s about embracing both your strengths and areas for improvement. This self exploration is key to effective leadership, a major component of a successful organization.

Authenticity Above All: Embrace Your True Self

Working on your soft skills at work is about showing yourself as you are. Today, some people still think it's beneficial to be a different person at the office than in private. Although certain character traits may be more suited to one context than another, we should never consciously try to change who we are once we've walked through the office door. And for those who do this, my question would be: what do you risk by showing yourself as you are? It’s not about the “fake it until you make it” anymore but more about a “go real or go home” mindset. Let us all be authentic and vulnerable together for a realistic and enriching workplace. 

How does it work @Novutech  

At Novutech, we actively promote the integration of soft skills into our workplace culture because we believe it's essential for our team to genuinely connect. We create special moments for everyone to get to know each other better because effective teamwork doesn't happen by chance; it requires effort. Therefore, we focus on developing both hard and soft skills, helping colleagues understand each other and fostering a real team spirit that drives our business's success. In terms of leadership, we take a unique approach. We encourage our employees to discover themselves not only as team members but also as leaders. We value qualities like honesty, influence, vision, and courage, believing that personal growth benefits not only the individual but also the entire company. At Novutech, authenticity is prized over pretense. We encourage our team to be themselves and ask, 'What's stopping you from being authentic?' We embrace a 'be real or go home' attitude and celebrate openness and genuineness in the workplace, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Our commitment goes beyond mere talk. We provide our team with practical tools such as team-building activities and training sessions to develop soft skills like communication and stress management. We also encourage peer feedback and reviews because at Novutech, it's not just an idea; it's what we do. Let's keep building connections, celebrating growth, and creating a workplace where everyone can freely express and develop their soft skills. Because at Novutech, success is built on investing in both hard and soft skills. Written by Clémentine Dinsart, Talent Coordinator & Trainer at Novutech

Novutech culture

October 08 2021

As a newly onboarded Business Analyst at Novutech, I wanted to share some insights into the initial weeks of my journey. 

Welcome to Novutech

  • A small speed dating session with the entire team, over a hearty breakfast.
  • A ready-to-use workspace. It may seem trivial, but it's not always the case. 
  • Scheduled video conferences during your first week. To dive headfirst into client meetings? Not at all! Several team members, spread across different entities of the NovuTeam, take the time to explain how to install and use the various tools at your disposal.
It’s a solid foundation to begin your journey!

Dive into the NovuWorld

Once you're settled, the immersion begins:
  • Immediate access to internal tools enables new team members to immerse themselves in the company's ecosystem right from the start, fostering productivity from day one. Just to name a few of these tools: Confluence, Jira, Notion. 
  • Our culture thrives on sharing experiences, challenges, and time-saving tips via collaborative tools that contribute to the company's growth. E.g. Google Chat is used intensively for internal Q&A.
  • Training takes various forms, from e-learning sessions with practical exercises to hands-on teaching during a comprehensive two-day session hosted by Oracle NetSuite. Additionally, our in-house Accounting Expert conducts training on Finance fundamentals, ensuring a well-rounded understanding.

OneTeam, Continuous Growth

At Novutech, borders don't constrain us; they open doors to innovative collaborations. Through cross-functional projects, we build team cohesion that transcends geographical boundaries, fostering individual growth and company scalability. We integrate new team members into small projects across borders right from the start. Simultaneously, we openly discuss evolving career plans within the team, aligning individual contributions with collective goals, fostering a shared vision for growth and success.

Vibrant Company Culture

Company culture is more than just words here. It's about genuine support, accessibility, and dedicated buddy systems that ensure your professional and personal well-being. This rapid sense of belonging motivates new employees to invest fully in our missions and values. A good example of our supportive culture is the weekly invite on Fridays to send kudos to the team member you found to be especially helpful or value-adding to the team.

Encouraging Innovation

Novutech values creativity and diverse talents. Whether it's organizational skills, financial insights, or even culinary expertise, everyone is encouraged to share and contribute.

Integrating Web Development with Le Wagon at Novutech

Broad ERP/Tech Novutech culture

October 08 2021

A testimony about career transformation by Adrien Hucq. A few months ago, I had the unique opportunity to undergo training organized by Le Wagon Brussels to become a Web Developer. In this article, I will share the reasons behind choosing this training and explain how I successfully integrated these new skills into my role as a Business Consultant at Novutech.  

Le Wagon: an Internationally Recognized Training

Le Wagon is a training organization offering various programs, both in-person and online, in over 45 cities worldwide. Among their offerings, the Web Developer program stands out. Available in two formats—either evening classes over six months or an intensive nine-weeks all-day program—, this curriculum aims to impart skills in JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, HTML & CSS, Github, and Figma. The learning process at Le Wagon involves intense theoretical sessions followed by challenging practical exercises, encouraging students to deepen their understanding. Researching documentation and engaging with fellow students are also key aspects of the journey. Lastly, students participate in a practical project, applying all acquired skills in real-world scenarios.

Why I Chose Le Wagon?

My interest in development and coding dates back to my academic years, and it intensified through interactions with various technologies at Novutech. Collaborating with technical consultants during projects sparked my desire to learn more about their work. In alignment with my management, I undertook a transition towards the technical side of Novutech to broaden my skills. The decision to choose Le Wagon was strengthened by the fact that many technical consultants at Novutech had undergone this training, attesting to its quality. Opting for a short and intensive training, I aimed to fully immerse myself in this new experience and quickly acquire these new skills.

Benefits of Choosing Le Wagon

Opting for training provided by Le Wagon offers several significant advantages:
  • Rapid Immersion: the intensive nine-week format allows for complete immersion in the world of development, thus accelerating the learning process.
  • Practical Approach: practical exercises and the final hands-on project provide a concrete experience, allowing students to develop skills that are directly applicable in a professional setting.
  • Quality Guidance: Wagon's instructors are experienced professionals who ensure quality guidance, fostering a deep understanding of the taught concepts.
  • Professional Network: training at Le Wagon provides an opportunity to build connections with other professionals in the field, expanding one's professional network.
  • Adaptability: whether geared towards a complete career change or just for essential skills enhancement, the flexibility of Le Wagon's programs adapts to each individual student's needs.
These benefits make Le Wagon a prudent choice for those seeking to quickly acquire advanced skills while benefiting from personalized support and an immersive experience.  

A Well-Planned Transition

To meet my specific request for an intensive two-month training, I had to take leave from Novutech. Fortunately, the company had set up a support cell internally for training, making my departure more manageable. Various mechanisms were put in place to alleviate the workload associated with my absence, covering as much as possible in terms of the training. Internal objectives were also set to ensure a coherent integration of this training on my side.  

After the Training: A Successful Transition

Upon my return to Novutech, I transitioned to the technical side while continuing to work as a Business Consultant. This unique arrangement spanned several months during which I balanced my functional responsibilities with the exploration of technical tasks. This gradual adaptation process allowed me not only to continue working on projects upon my return to Novutech, but also to rediscover a significant part of Novutech's business by applying what I had learned during the training.
