About
While NetSuite is built for global enterprises, MeMate is built for local service providers and small to medium-sized businesses in Australia — offering a robust system to manage everyday business operations with ease.
NetSuite is a powerful, cloud-based ERP system built for enterprise-level operations. It offers deep integrations for finance, inventory, and global commerce — making it a strong choice for large corporations or complex business networks.
MeMate, on the other hand, is designed to be run from an office environment. It offers features for quoting, invoicing, and project management, with the ability to assign and track jobs for employees and contractors.
Although it is less flexible in terms of on-the-go usage, meMate provides a more structured and secure system, enabling managers to maintain a strict workflow.
NetSuite is a robust enterprise ERP, ideal for multinational companies with large teams and complex financial layers. MeMate is the smarter alternative for Australian service businesses — built for simplicity, speed, and everyday business operations like quoting, scheduling, tracking jobs, and getting paid.
