Planetcast Modernizes Global Operations with Oracle NetSuite Cloud ERP

Overview

For over 25 years, Planetcast Media Services Limited has been a trusted name in broadcast content management, providing comprehensive services including content storage, enrichment, playout, and distribution across multiple digital and satellite channels. With operations spanning India, Singapore, Australia, and Sweden, Planetcast supports some of the world’s largest broadcasters and media companies with high-performance, technology-driven managed services.

As Planetcast expanded globally, its legacy on-premise ERP system began to show its age. Fragmented databases, disconnected financial workflows, and manual reporting created inefficiencies and limited visibility. Gaining a unified, real-time view of finances and inventory across subsidiaries was increasingly difficult. Month-end closing cycles were lengthy and resource-intensive, while print-based approvals introduced both delays and security risks.

To continue its growth trajectory and maintain operational excellence, Planetcast needed to modernize its core systems with a scalable, cloud-based ERP platform capable of managing multi-entity operations across geographies.

Challenges

Planetcast’s existing Microsoft Navision setup struggled to meet the demands of its expanding global operations. Key pain points included:

• Fragmented data and limited visibility across countries and business units.

• Manual month-end reconciliations that slowed down financial closings.
  ‍
  
• Labor-intensive asset tracking due to lack of centralized inventory management.

• Siloed processes across finance, procurement, and project management.

• Security and compliance challenges caused by print-based approvals and inconsistent workflows.

These limitations hindered decision-making and created barriers to scaling efficiently.

The SaasWorx Solution

To drive digital transformation, Planetcast partnered with SaasWorx to implement Oracle NetSuite Cloud ERP, a unified cloud-based platform designed to consolidate and streamline global operations.

The six-month implementation spanned multiple countries and business functions. Key solution highlights included:

• End-to-end implementation of Finance & Accounting, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Project Management, Fixed Assets, and e-Invoicing modules.

• Deployment of multi-level approval workflows across Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and General Ledger (GL) transactions.

• Integration of banking systems (HDFC and Standard Chartered) for seamless payment processing.

• Implementation of GSP integration for automated e-invoicing and e-way bill generation.

• Centralized inventory visibility with structured landed cost management and fulfillment tracking.

• Customization of the Fixed Asset Management (FAM) module for CWIP (Capital Work in Progress) automation.

• SuiteAnalytics dashboards providing real-time insights into financial health, project performance, and budget utilization.

SaasWorx worked closely with Planetcast’s leadership and finance teams to align the ERP system with industry best practices, minimize customizations, and ensure scalability for future growth.

Results & Impact

The transformation delivered significant improvements across Planetcast’s global operations:

• Unified platform providing real-time visibility into global financials, projects, and inventory.

• Faster financial close cycles through automation of reconciliations and reporting.

• Smarter workflows reducing manual errors, delays, and unauthorized transactions.

• Streamlined audit readiness with automated compliance controls.

• Data-driven decision-making enabled by intuitive dashboards and reports.

With Oracle NetSuite in place, Planetcast now benefits from an agile and intelligent financial ecosystem that supports its multi-country operations seamlessly.
