100% Project Profitability Visibility, Automated Invoicing, and Seamless HR Integration — CloudPaths Reignites Blue.Cloud’s NetSuite Journey with SuiteProjects and Advanced Revenue

Client: Blue.Cloud
Industry: Cloud & IT Services
Operations: Global services delivery with complex resource planning needs
Platform: NetSuite, BambooHR

Business Transformation Overview

Blue.Cloud, a fast-growing cloud and services firm, faced critical challenges in project profitability tracking, HR integration, and invoice mapping after a failed NetSuite implementation with a previous partner. These gaps impacted their ability to scale, automate billing, and maintain financial clarity across engagements.

CloudPaths stepped in to recover the implementation—deploying SuiteProjects, automating HR and billing processes, and enabling full visibility into project P&L and compliance reporting.

Key Challenges

• Failed NetSuite SRP Implementation: A previous partner was unable to configure NetSuite to meet Blue.Cloud’s complex services resource planning needs.

• Disconnected HR and Financial Data: Lack of integration between BambooHR and NetSuite limited accurate resource planning and profitability insights.

• Inadequate Vendor-Client Invoice Mapping: Inability to link vendor bills to client invoices made project cost allocation and reporting error-prone and manual.

CloudPaths Solution

• SuiteProjects & Advanced Revenue Setup: Implemented NetSuite’s ARM and SuiteProjects modules to automate project-based billing, track time, allocate resources, and gain real-time P&L insights.

• Custom BambooHR Integration: Leveraged open APIs to synchronize employee data between BambooHR and NetSuite—enabling seamless resourcing and payroll alignment.

• Invoice Linkage & Reporting Enhancements: Designed custom fields and numbering logic to link vendor bills with client invoices. Delivered reports to track costs against client projects in real time.

Business Impact

• 100% Project P&L Visibility: Full transparency into costs and revenue for each engagement—empowering faster, data-driven decisions.

• Streamlined HR-to-Finance Workflows: Real-time data flow between BambooHR and NetSuite eliminated manual handoffs and improved resource accuracy.

• Stronger Compliance & Scalability: Defined financial processes and multi-tier tracking supported Blue.Cloud’s continued growth and audit readiness.

• Reduced Manual Overhead: Automated project billing and vendor linkage saved finance and operations teams significant effort and error correction time.

Outcome

CloudPaths turned around a failed implementation and delivered a tailored NetSuite platform that scales with Blue.Cloud’s business model.
The result: full visibility, operational efficiency, and a foundation for continued growth in the cloud services space.
