The Challenge

When your projects span borders, your ERP shouldn't hold you back.

Project-based businesses face unique financial complexity. Here are the pain points we solve most often.

Project profitability blind spots

No real-time visibility into job costs, resource utilization, or margin erosion until it's too late. By the time you see the numbers in last month's close, the damage is done — and the client has already been billed at a loss.

Multi-country compliance

Operating across jurisdictions means navigating different tax rules, statutory reporting standards, and audit requirements for every entity — simultaneously. One wrong tax code can cascade into months of remediation.

Fixed asset management at scale

Large capital assets — infrastructure, heavy equipment, fleet vehicles — need automated depreciation schedules, location tracking, and audit-ready records across entities. Manual tracking in spreadsheets breaks when you cross borders.

The Solution

Project-based ERP, delivered by people who understand project-based businesses.

atstratus deploys NetSuite Project Management with Job Costing for real-time profitability tracking at the project, phase, and task level. Every cost — labor, materials, subcontractors, overheads — flows into project financials automatically.

For infrastructure and construction companies, we configure Fixed Asset Management for automated depreciation, asset transfers across entities, and disposal tracking — all with the audit trail your compliance team needs.

OneWorld ties it all together: multi-subsidiary consolidation with real-time intercompany eliminations, multi-currency project costing, and country-specific statutory reporting.

  • Real-time project profitability tracking
  • Job costing with automated cost allocation
  • Fixed asset management with multi-entity depreciation

Frequently asked questions

How does NetSuite handle project-based accounting?
NetSuite's Project Management module provides end-to-end project lifecycle tracking — from estimation and budgeting through execution and billing. You get real-time dashboards showing project profitability, resource utilization, and cost variance against budget. Job costing automatically allocates direct and indirect costs to projects, giving you margin visibility at the project, phase, and task level.
Can we track job costs in real time across multiple countries?
Yes. NetSuite OneWorld combined with Job Costing lets you track costs across entities in different countries and currencies. Intercompany cost allocations, cross-border labor charges, and currency conversions are automated. You see consolidated project profitability in your reporting currency while maintaining statutory records in each local currency.
What fixed asset management capabilities does NetSuite provide?
NetSuite's Fixed Asset Management module handles the full lifecycle: acquisition, depreciation scheduling (straight-line, declining balance, or custom), revaluation, transfer between locations and subsidiaries, and disposal. Depreciation runs automatically on schedule, and audit trails are maintained for every asset movement — critical for infrastructure companies with large capital portfolios.
How long does a typical services company implementation take?
A mid-size professional services company (30–100 employees, 1–4 countries) typically goes live in 10–14 weeks. More complex deployments involving fixed asset management across multiple entities, project-based revenue recognition, and custom integrations can extend to 16–20 weeks. We run parallel workstreams to keep timelines tight.
Can NetSuite handle subcontractor billing and management?
Absolutely. We configure vendor management workflows for subcontractor onboarding, purchase order automation, progress billing, and three-way matching. Subcontractor costs flow directly into project cost tracking, giving you real-time visibility into total project costs including internal labor and external contractors.
How does atstratus handle multi-country tax compliance?
We deploy country-specific localization bundles — including our proprietary Polish Localization Bundle — and configure tax engines for VAT, GST, and local statutory reporting requirements. For multi-country operations, we set up OneWorld subsidiaries with local chart of accounts, tax codes, and reporting formats while maintaining consolidated group reporting.
What reporting and dashboards are available for project profitability?
NetSuite provides real-time dashboards with project margin analysis, resource utilization rates, earned value metrics, and budget variance tracking. We configure custom KPI tiles, saved searches, and report snapshots tailored to your business — from portfolio-level overviews for leadership to task-level detail for project managers.
Do you have experience with construction and infrastructure companies?
Yes — we implemented NetSuite for Intertoll Europe, an international motorway infrastructure developer operating across 4 European countries. We deployed Project Management, Job Costing, Fixed Asset Management, and OneWorld to give them granular visibility into infrastructure projects with significant capital requirements and long project timelines.
