Tableau + NetSuite Integration

NetSuite stores a wealth of financial, operational, and transactional data, but its native reporting tools are not always enough for organizations that need advanced visualizations and interactive analysis. Tableau is one of the most widely adopted data visualization platforms in the world, and integrating it with NetSuite lets teams explore ERP data through dashboards, charts, and drill-down reports that go far beyond what saved searches and workbooks can offer. For finance leaders, operations managers, and analysts, this integration turns raw data into decisions.

How Tableau + NetSuite Works

The Tableau-NetSuite integration connects your ERP data to Tableau's visualization engine using either direct connectors, ODBC/JDBC drivers, or middleware platforms. At BrokenRubik, we configure data pipelines that extract information from NetSuite saved searches, SuiteAnalytics Connect, or RESTlet endpoints and deliver it to Tableau for real-time or scheduled analysis.

Data flows can be configured for live connections, where Tableau queries NetSuite on demand, or extract-based connections, where data is refreshed on a schedule to optimize performance. We map NetSuite records -- transactions, customers, inventory, revenue -- to Tableau data sources so your team can build and share dashboards without writing SuiteScript or SQL.

Key Features

• Financial dashboards -- Visualize revenue, expenses, margins, and cash flow across subsidiaries, periods, and segments directly from NetSuite general ledger and transaction data.
• Saved search integration -- Connect Tableau to NetSuite saved searches so analysts can work with familiar datasets in a more powerful visualization environment.
• Real-time and scheduled data refresh -- Choose between live connections for up-to-the-minute data or scheduled extracts for high-performance reporting on large datasets.
• Multi-subsidiary reporting -- Build consolidated dashboards that aggregate data across entities, currencies, and business units for global visibility.
• Self-service analytics -- Empower business users to explore data, apply filters, and create their own visualizations without relying on developers or NetSuite administrators.

Common Use Cases

• Executive dashboards that present KPIs such as monthly recurring revenue, gross margin, DSO, and headcount at a glance across all subsidiaries.
• Sales pipeline analysis combining NetSuite opportunity and transaction data with regional breakdowns and trend lines.
• Inventory and supply chain visualization showing stock levels, reorder points, and fulfillment metrics by location and product category.
• Financial close monitoring tracking open transactions, unreconciled items, and period-end balances to speed up the close process.
• Customer profitability analysis blending revenue, cost of goods sold, and support data to identify the most and least profitable accounts.
