Categories

NetSuite’s second major update of the year is now rolling out between August and October 2025 — and it’s one of the most feature-rich releases yet. The NetSuite 2025.2 update delivers practical enhancements designed to make operations faster, smarter, and more connected, with improvements spanning warehouse management, supply chain control, AI integration, and analytics visibility.

“The updates in this release will give our clients the tools to not just keep up with change but lead it — helping them work more efficiently, make better decisions, and achieve real results,” says Tony Fidler, CEO at SANSA.  

Key Takeaways

  • Contextual insights bring faster, clearer reporting 
  • The AI Connector Service enables a secure ‘bring-your-own-AI’ approach 

Smarter Tools for Shipping and Inventory Management 

The 2025.2 release introduces several practical updates for warehouse and fulfilment teams.

  • Automatic lot and serial number generation in WMS removes the need for manual input or spreadsheet tracking. 
  • One-click bin blocking prevents teams from picking damaged or missing stock. 
  • A new Pickup Schedule in Ship Central simplifies carrier coordination. 
  • Bulk label printing enables multiple shipping or return labels at once across couriers. 

Take Control of Your Supply Chain 

NetSuite 2025.2 introduces stronger visibility and control features:

  • Supply plan alerts flag failed or delayed plans instantly. 
  • Enhanced Planning Workbench offers improved filtering and rescheduling. 
  • “To Be Expedited” flag simplifies order prioritisation.

The Supply Chain Management mobile app also adds precise date-and-time pickup scheduling for improved coordination.

AI integration for faster, smarter workflows 

 AI continues to shape NetSuite’s evolution, and 2025.2 expands its role across functions:

Finance and compliance:

  • Close Insights accelerates month-end by reviewing logs and identifying anomalies. 
  • Compliance 360 uses AI to monitor user activity and summarise insights.

Planning and analytics:

  • AI-driven multivariate forecasting improves prediction accuracy. 
  • NetSuite Analytics Warehouse now includes contextual insights that highlight trends automatically.

Ryan Harris, Head of Sales at SANSA, notes: “NetSuite’s AI capabilities are about balance — combining automation for everyday tasks with strategic tools that empower decision-making.”

The new AI Connector Service: bringing your own AI

The release also introduces the AI Connector Service, built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows businesses to connect their own AI models directly to NetSuite with strict governance and role-based permissions.

Better visibility across your business 

SuiteAnalytics Workbooks now offer real-time data for supply chain teams. SaaS businesses benefit from new recurring revenue dashboards offering insights into churn and customer trends. Combined with AI forecasting and contextual analytics, these tools provide decision-makers with a clear view of performance.

“NetSuite 2025.2 is packed with practical enhancements that can streamline day-to-day operations,” adds Ryan Harris. “SANSA helps clients focus on what’s relevant and turn new features into results.”
