• Three isolated systems—Salesforce for advertiser CRM, CRM Australia for subscription management and MYOB for financials—were a “black box” that compromised business visibility and hindered efficiency.
• Mayne Publications faced high workloads and risk of error managing ad quotes in Salesforce and manually inputting data into MYOB for financials and invoicing.
• The company lacked a single view of advertiser and subscriber customers, resulting in duplicate data that impacted service quality and the ability to grow the business.

• Selected over Salesforce, NetSuite met Mayne Publications’ criteria for a fully-integrated system with superior ERP / financial management and reporting capabilities.
• NetSuite implementation and customizations by partner AVT were instrumental in ensuring a high-performing environment and accelerating time to value.
• Rich customizability through the SuiteCloud Development Platform enabled Mayne and AVT to tailor the solution to match the company’s unique requirements.
