Gurner Group NetSuite Construction Case Study

Gurner Group faced significant operational inefficiencies due to their reliance on manual processes and outdated systems. As a consequence, their existing ERP solution was unable to support the company’s rapid growth and evolving business needs. To address these challenges, NetSuite Financial Management and NetSuite Planning and Budgeting were implemented with the aim of providing accurate, timely, and accessible data that would enable better decision-making. Subsequently, the new system streamlined processes, improved data integrity, and enhanced overall operational efficiency.

Gurner Group faced significant operational inefficiencies due to manual processes and an ERP system that was not fit-for-purpose. This reliance on fragmented systems created bottlenecks, making it difficult to access accurate information quickly. Manual handling of daily operations further complicated processes, slowing decision-making and creating complex workflows that were not well-controlled. To address these issues, NetSuite Financial Management and Planning and Budgeting were implemented, integrating financial and project data into a single platform. As a result, the automated workflows reduced reliance on manual processes, and improved data visibility.

The existing ERP system was not scalable and could not support the company’s rapid growth and complex business needs. Furthermore, there was an over-reliance on the expertise of key individuals, increasing the risk of knowledge loss. In addition, inconsistent processes across the organisation made it difficult to standardise operations. Consequently, this dependency hindered workflow efficiency and prevented the implementation of a cohesive system. As a result, Gurner Group faced challenges in maintaining consistent, streamlined operations.

Gurner Group, a leader in Australia’s construction sector, experienced inefficiencies due to outdated systems and manual processes, which in turn hindered growth and data visibility. As a result, their existing ERP couldn’t support rapid growth or provide the necessary data visibility for decision-making. To address these issues, NetSuite Financial Management and NetSuite Planning and Budgeting were implemented to automate processes and consolidate data, thereby replacing reliance on Excel, MYOB, and paper-based workflows.

Moreover, NetSuite enabled real-time access to critical financial and project information, thus streamlining operations and enhancing project management from feasibility to execution. The key drivers for choosing NetSuite included the need for accurate, timely data and the ability to eliminate manual tasks. Additionally, the solution defined clearer roles and responsibilities for data management, thereby improving governance and operational efficiency.

Furthermore, OneKloudX provided end-to-end NetSuite expertise, aligning capabilities with Gurner Group’s goals while also offering R&D collaboration and ongoing support.

As a result, Gurner Group achieved improved data integrity, faster decision-making, and a scalable system that supports future growth and innovation in the construction industry.
