NetSuite Reporting and Sales Process Optimization for GPA Inc.
Challenge
GPA Inc., a Canadian HVAC and building services company, was facing challenges with limited visibility into project profitability and inefficient sales and finance processes within NetSuite. Commission calculations were highly manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Reporting was not structured in a way that allowed leadership to clearly understand real-time margins or project performance. As the business grew, these issues created delays in decision making and reduced confidence in financial data. The existing NetSuite setup was functional but not optimized to support operational and financial workflows at scale.
