How NetSuite modules work
NetSuite is sold as a single cloud platform, but its capabilities are divided into modules: functional areas you license depending on what your business actually needs. Every NetSuite subscription includes a core set of capabilities: accounting, basic CRM, and standard reporting. Everything beyond that (advanced manufacturing, eCommerce, professional services automation, payroll) is an add-on module licensed on top of the base subscription.
