Not just another finance integration for NetSuite.
Most integrations plug into NetSuite from the outside. Zone’s embedded solutions extend it from the inside – so AP, billing, reconciliation, payroll and reporting all happen in one system, not across five. That means fewer points of failure, stronger control and one system doing the job you bought NetSuite to do in the first place.
Built inside NetSuite – BFN certified to run like it.
Built for NetSuite (BFN) means certified to NetSuite’s standards – for security, performance, reliability and upgrade compatibility. It’s a requirement for every partner in the SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN).
Unlike third-party tools that only certify the integration layer, Zone solutions are fully BFN-certified – from interface to logic to processing – because they’re built entirely with NetSuite’s infrastructure, data model and logic. They don’t just integrate with your ERP system – they are part of it.
From billing and revenue recognition to AP, payroll and financial reporting – everything stays inside NetSuite’s single pane of glass, supported by tools that were built to belong there.

Why controllers and CFOs build on a single financial foundation inside NetSuite
One system of record. Trusted data. Finance built to grow.
Zone gives controllers what external integrations can’t: clean, connected financials within a single system of record.
Every transaction follows built-in audit trails, approval chains and accounting rules like ASC 606 and IFRS 17 – keeping finance compliant, in control and fully connected inside NetSuite, your financial home.
And when new entities, currencies or standards come into play, workflows don’t break. They adapt.
This is financial control without the overhead. A central command center where compliance, reporting and scale move in sync.
Unified finance. Scalable operations. Investor-grade confidence. All inside NetSuite.
With cash and revenue data unified in one system, you get a real-time view of your financial state – no chasing reports or stitching spreadsheets. Receivables move faster, forecasts get sharper and capital decisions become clearer. You know when to hire, where to expand and which product bets to back – with numbers that reflect reality, not lag behind it.
And the next phase of growth won’t look like the last. Expanding into new markets, integrating acquisitions or evolving how you sell all require systems that adapt without slowing you down. With finance natively embedded in ERP, you can scale structure, not sprawl.

Frequently asked questions
NetSuite-native means the app was built on the same foundation as NetSuite itself. Native SuiteApps like Zone’s operate entirely inside your ERP – using its data model, workflows, roles and security without relying on external systems or syncs. You’re not bouncing between platforms or managing duplicate logic. Every action, approval and record lives in one place: NetSuite.
If your finance workflows already run in NetSuite, your tools should too. Use this checklist to evaluate if third-party integrations are holding you back →
There are three types of SuiteApps you’ll find in the NetSuite ecosystem – native, integrated and hybrid. The differences come down to where the app is built, how it runs and how deeply it connects to NetSuite. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Native SuiteApps
- Built entirely on the SuiteCloud platform, native SuiteApps live 100% inside NetSuite.
- They inherit NetSuite’s roles, permissions, workflows and UI – which means everything stays under NetSuite’s security, upgrade and access framework.
- The entire solution is reviewed under the Built for NetSuite (BFN) program.
If your team is trying to consolidate workflows and stay inside NetSuite, native is the only model that truly keeps data and logic where it belongs.
Integrated SuiteApps
- Integrated SuiteApps live outside of NetSuite and push data in through APIs, iPaaS tools or custom syncs.
- The core application logic and data live in a separate system.
- These often require separate logins, UIs and user management.
- Only the integration layer gets BFN certified – the core app logic and data remain external.
Hybrid SuiteApps
- Hybrid SuiteApps use a combination of native and external components.
- Some parts operate inside NetSuite, while others rely on services hosted elsewhere.
- BFN certification in this case applies only to the native portion – not the full solution.
If you’re evaluating SuiteApps for core finance processes – like billing, accounts payable, reconciliation, payroll or reporting – architecture matters. Native SuiteApps like Zone’s keeps workflows centralized and audit-ready. Integrated or hybrid options can add risk, especially during upgrades or audits.
Native matters to finance because it changes where your work happens – and how much trust you can put in the results. When a SuiteApp is native to NetSuite, it runs inside your ERP. That means billing, approvals, payroll, reporting and reconciliation all happen in one system. No exports, no middleware, no rechecking numbers from tool to tool.
For finance teams, that translates to fewer billing errors and faster rev rec, clean audit trails and faster AP close and streamlined payroll management – not fixing broken workflows.
NetSuite-native solutions don’t limit flexibility – they enhance it. Unlike third-party integrations that often rely on manual syncs and workarounds, NetSuite-native apps operate directly within the ERP. This means your financial data remains centralized, up-to-date and seamlessly connected across all workflows. As your business scales or pivots, your financial processes remain aligned and easily adaptable without the hassle of reconfiguration or bolted-on software.
Zone’s SuiteApps are designed specifically to extend NetSuite’s core capabilities without disrupting existing workflows. Whether you’re adding new billing models, automating AP approvals or scaling reconciliation processes, the embedded nature of these solutions ensures everything is managed in one place. If your finance team is struggling with disconnected tools and manual processes, a NetSuite-native solution might be the exact upgrade needed to support growth – not a limitation.
Many integration-based tools claim to be "NetSuite compatible" – but compatibility isn’t the same as embedded. If your setup needs data mapping, middleware or sync schedules, it’s not native. Zone is. Our NetSuite-native solutions operate as a seamless extension of NetSuite, working from within NetSuite. That means real-time visibility, faster month and year-end close, no broken syncs and fewer reconciliation headaches – just a single source of truth that scales with your business.
Integration might seem "good enough" – until things break. Integration-based setups often rely on middleware, sync schedules and data mapping that can fail, lag or create version conflicts. Zone’s NetSuite-native solutions eliminate these risks by operating entirely within NetSuite, ensuring real-time data accuracy, seamless workflows and zero sync issues. When your finance stack is truly native, there’s no “almost right” – it’s always right.
