NetSuite + Microsoft Teams

NetSuite answers in Teams for the rest of the company

Microsoft 365 shops can keep NetSuite in finance and still let department channels look up sales orders, quotes, and quantity on hand, all read-only and with no extra NetSuite login per teammate.

Kipper is a Teams app that queries your synced NetSuite records: sales orders, quotes, inventory quantity on hand, invoices, vendors, and purchase orders. A NetSuite admin connects the account, and Teams users in department channels ask in plain English. Access is permissioned and logged.

Microsoft Teams channels can pull read-only sales orders, quotes, invoices, and inventory from NetSuite through Kipper. Department staff who should not hold a NetSuite seat get their answers without leaving Microsoft 365.

Who it's for

Who gets NetSuite answers in Teams

Project owner

Check whether a quote is still pending or a sales order has shipped, right in the project Teams channel, without a NetSuite login.

Department coordinator

Look up vendor bill status or an open purchase order when a cost-center channel asks, instead of pinging the NetSuite admin.

Inside sales

Confirm quantity on hand before promising a date, from the sales team in Teams.

Service dispatcher

See if a customer's last invoice is paid before scheduling an on-site visit.

Plant supervisor

Ask for quantity on hand or an open sales order from the shop-floor Teams channel.

SaaS partner manager

From the partner channel in Teams, pull a reseller's quarterly totals grouped by Department, with no NetSuite seat involved.

Retail receiving lead

When a delivery lands, confirm in the Teams channel which purchase orders for that vendor have already been billed and which are still open.

How it works

How Microsoft 365 gets a NetSuite lookup

Connect NetSuite, sync your records, set who sees what, then add Kipper in Teams.

01

Authorize NetSuite

A NetSuite admin grants Kipper read-only access from the Kipper admin portal.

02

Sync operational records

Sales orders, quotes, inventory, invoices, and vendors sync on a near-real-time cadence (about five minutes).

03

Scope Teams visibility

Map department channels to the NetSuite records those teams should see.

04

Add Kipper in Teams

Install the Teams app. People type a question in a channel or chat and get a read-only answer.

How Kipper handles access

Read-only. Permissioned. Logged.

  • Kipper never creates, updates, or deletes NetSuite records.
  • You choose what each user or team can see.
  • Every question is written to an audit log.
  • Pricing is the same on every interface. See plans.

FAQ

NetSuite in Microsoft Teams

M365 channels, NetSuite objects, and how the Teams app is installed.

Teams users do not need a NetSuite license. A NetSuite admin connects once. Your Microsoft 365 admin adds the Kipper Teams app. People ask in channels they already use.
Customers, invoices, payments, vendors, bills, purchase orders, inventory including quantity on hand and bill of materials, sales orders, quotes, credit memos, and vendor credits. GL, P&L, and intercompany consolidations are out of scope.
As a Teams app. A question in a chat or channel becomes a read-only query against your synced NetSuite records, and the answer posts back in Teams.
Usually within minutes, since Kipper resyncs from NetSuite about every five minutes.
Yes. Data access configurations control visibility. Enterprise customers can define more than one configuration so channels only see relevant NetSuite records.

Keep NetSuite seats for finance and give everyone else Teams

Department channels get their own answers, and nothing in NetSuite can be changed from Teams.
