CloudExtend + NetSuite Integration

CloudExtend brings NetSuite capabilities into Gmail, Google Sheets, Outlook, and Excel. Log emails to NetSuite records from your inbox, push spreadsheet data directly into NetSuite, and look up customer information without switching applications.

NetSuite Is Powerful. Its User Interface Is Not.

There's a gap between what NetSuite can do and how easy it is to do it. Users who live in Gmail or Outlook don't want to switch to NetSuite just to log an email or look up a customer record. Teams that manage data in spreadsheets don't want to manually import CSVs through NetSuite's clunky import tool every week.

CloudExtend bridges that gap. It's a set of productivity tools that connect NetSuite to the applications people already use: Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Outlook, and Excel. Instead of forcing everyone into NetSuite's interface, it brings NetSuite capabilities into the tools where people already work.

What We Build

Email Integration (Gmail/Outlook): CloudExtend adds a sidebar to Gmail or Outlook that shows the NetSuite record for the person you're emailing. You can attach emails to customer records, log them as activities, create new contacts, and view transaction history -- all without opening NetSuite. When a sales rep gets an email from a prospect, they see the full NetSuite customer record right next to the message.

Google Sheets to NetSuite: This is the feature that gets finance teams excited. CloudExtend lets you pull NetSuite data into Google Sheets using saved searches, modify it in the spreadsheet, and push changes back to NetSuite. Mass-update 500 item prices in a spreadsheet and push them all back in one click. Way faster than editing records one by one in NetSuite.

Excel to NetSuite: Same concept as Google Sheets but for Microsoft Excel users. Pull data, edit, push back. Particularly useful for teams that build models or do analysis in Excel and need to update NetSuite with the results.

Google Drive Attachments: Files stored in Google Drive can be linked to NetSuite records without duplicating them. Attach a proposal PDF to a customer record by referencing the Drive link instead of uploading it to NetSuite's file cabinet.

Technical Details: CloudExtend operates as browser extensions (for Gmail and Google Sheets) and Office add-ins (for Outlook and Excel). It connects to NetSuite through SuiteTalk REST APIs using the user's own NetSuite credentials. There's no middleware, no separate server to maintain. Each user authenticates with their NetSuite login, and their access permissions carry over -- they can only see and modify data their NetSuite role allows.

Key Benefits

• Email context without context-switching. Customer details, transactions, and history visible right inside your email client.
• Spreadsheet-based data management. Mass updates that would take hours through NetSuite's UI take minutes in Sheets or Excel.
• Lower training barrier. Users work in familiar tools instead of learning NetSuite's interface for simple tasks.
• No middleware to manage. Direct browser/add-in connection to NetSuite with no infrastructure.
• Role-based security. Uses NetSuite's own permission model, so no new access controls to configure.

Is This Right for You?

CloudExtend is one of the easier decisions in the NetSuite ecosystem. If your team uses Gmail or Outlook (which they do) and they interact with NetSuite data (which they do), CloudExtend makes that interaction faster and simpler.

The email integration is valuable for anyone who communicates with customers or vendors. The Sheets/Excel integration is valuable for anyone who does bulk data updates. At $10-20/user/month, the cost bar is low enough that you don't need a formal ROI analysis -- just try it.

The one caveat: if you need deep CRM-style email tracking with campaigns, sequences, and engagement scoring, CloudExtend isn't that. It's a productivity tool, not a CRM replacement. For heavy-duty email tracking, look at a full CRM integration instead.
