NetSuite Day 2022 – International growth stories and NetSuite insights
Staria’s annual NetSuite Day was organized for the 7th time on November 15th. It was organized as a hybrid event, with about 300 people in total attending either live in Helsinki or following the live stream online.
After a tasty breakfast to keep everyone energized throughout the morning, the event was opened by Staria’s CEO Artti Aurasmaa. Aurasmaa’s speech focused on growth and what we as humans can achieve together through collaboration. He spoke about having a growth mindset and how at Staria, we believe that it comes from three core values – collaboration, courage, and commitment.
NetSuite Day 2022 was sponsored by Staria, Oracle NetSuite, and FloQast.

The trends during uncertain times
The first keynote speech of the day was given by Gacho Grigorian, who works with Business Development (EMEA) at Oracle NetSuite. Grigorian spoke about the uncertainties that the last few years have brought for many companies and about the challenges that they are currently facing. The two main areas brought up as challenging were how supply chains are changing and a scarcity of skills and talent. To face today’s challenging times, Grigorian’s advice was to invest in adaptability and efficiency.
As for the most recent trends currently seen in organizations, Grigorian pointed out a demand for analytical capabilities such as planning, budgeting, and forecasting, a demand for flexibility in the company’s business platform and a demand for creating more efficiency.
Next up, we got to listen to Andrei Postolache, Senior NetSuite Solution Consultant at Staria. Postolache spoke about the newest 2022 NetSuite release and highlighted some of the new key features. This was followed by a Cash 360 demo showing NetSuite’s first cash flow reporting and forecasting feature.

Then, it was time for Staria’s partner and one of the sponsors of NetSuite Day, FloQast, to take the stage. Brandon Malekie, Inside Sales Manager (EMEA), and Tom Coldman, Account Executive, presented FloQast’s accounting workflow automation solution and explained how it can help companies close their books 30% faster.
While demoing the solution, they further explained how companies can have FloQast up and running in only 4-8 weeks and with minimal time needed from the finance team. Finally, they pointed out that the solution can grow and scale with the company.

Smart Brands Laboratory – accelerating growth
After lunch, it was time for Justinas Lukaševičius, CTO at Smart Brands Laboratory to share Smart Brands Laboratory’s amazing customer success story.
Smart Brands Laboratory is an algorithm-driven e-commerce operational platform that launces brands globally. They have legal entities in three countries and a brand portfolio of 7 brands which have been launched and are being sold globally. They have been live with NetSuite since November 2021. Lukaševičius explained that they decided on NetSuite because it’s a cloud-based system which already had localizations for two of their legal entity countries: the Netherlands and the Unites States, and the third and final Lithuanian localization through Staria. They were also able to import and integrate the data from their key systems into NetSuite and currently have 11 integrations.
Lukaševičius further explained that data is at the very core of Smart Brand Laboratory. With NetSuite, they have control over and complete access to their data in real-time as well as a consolidated view of all data from their three legal entities in one place.
