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.
Do we have enough SKU-9011 to fill SO-22018?
SO-22018 needs 120 of SKU-9011
Is quote Q-4410 still pending for Lakeshore Medical?
Q-4410 is still Pending Approval, $48,600, created Mar 2.
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

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