“We had a project management system, a file storage system, an accounting system, and others. Sharing data across these systems was difficult, and in most cases our only way to ‘patch the holes’ was by adding labor. Solar installation has many moving parts, all generating soft costs, and there is no single application that solves them all, because you have to address inefficiencies across all functions of the entire company. We looked at other solutions, but NetSuite worked out best for us because it handles accounting and operational logistics items in tandem with project management really well. SolarSuccess streamlined things even further and allowed us to add our own customizations on top of NetSuite. Blu Banyan’s wide breadth of expertise was a critical resource for us. Our strategic partnership with Blu Banyan enables us to identify and prioritize specific features for development that will increase our productivity.”

Aaron CasillasTechnology & Infrastructure Director

"We have worked with Blu Banyan on a broad variety of business needs – from complex NetSuite report writing to implementing custom NetSuite solutions to everyday ERP needs. Blu Banyan strives to understand our business complexities in order to provide the NetSuite solution that makes the most sense for our business. They go above and beyond processing our requests and have become true partners in helping us to streamline our business."

Jennifer ParkDirector of Finance & Operations

"Navigating an enterprise relationship can be difficult, but Blu Banyan has shown an agility in their business process only matched by the agility of their team. In designing a custom solution for Lucky Brand, they have been flexible to meet every need and match every timeline. Blu Banyan has brought custom solutions in both their business partnership and their NetSuite solutions that have allowed us to move quickly and solve a range of issues. The team isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty, move quickly or drive theoretical solutions to the elucidation of practical application. The initial attraction to Blu Banyan was the caliber of resources, including consultants who have a legacy within Retail, NetSuite and other applications. However, within the Blu Banyan model, we have benefited from their collaboration not just in NetSuite but with the end solution in mind, their scope beginning far up stream and ending with the downstream goal in mind."

Kyle PretschIT Director

"Finding a strong NetSuite expert was a challenge for us. We’ve been working with Blu Banyan going on two years and have found their approach to providing solutions to be thorough, practical, and savvy. A great combination of technical know-how with a business mindset, they have been professional, reliable and available whenever needed. Dao and Jan have proven to be truly a valuable resource to us as our business continues to evolve and grow."

Jeff KendallCEO

“We’ve been able to automate most of our residential invoices. When a deal moves to a particular stage of construction, for example, SolarSuccess generates invoices based on that specific milestone. That has been the biggest advantage and has definitely helped us out a lot. We’re doing more with the same number of people and we have a system that’s more reliable and less stressful than tracking a million different spreadsheets. Blu Banyan was very flexible. Whether we wanted to integrate systems or take advantage of out-of-the-box automation, Blu Banyan handled it for us. I think their MO is ‘basically anything is possible.'"

Joe MarhamatiCo-Founder & VP

"Our financial close was incredibly complicated and fraught with errors because we have so many subsidiaries consolidating together. That problem has almost gone away completely. We can look at all of our subsidiaries as standalones or consolidate them into our main financials. That’s been incredibly useful from a financial planning standpoint.

The Blu Banyan team is smart, easy to talk to and very upfront about everything. The company’s CEO follows up with me regularly, just to check in and see how things are going, which I really appreciate."

Spencer NewmanCFO

“NetSuite basically has unlimited integrations. If there’s not a SuiteApp available, a developer can just build an integration for you; that was a big reason we picked NetSuite. Blu Banyan’s SolarSuccess was another key selling point.”
