SAN MATEO, Calif. and VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- CoastalSoftware & Consulting, Inc. today announced that it has become a partner ofNetSuite's SuiteFlex Developer Program. Coastal has extended NetSuite's OneSystem Architecture with new capabilities to meet the needs of businesses thatrequire ADP payroll integration and transaction management using NetSuitedata. The SuiteFlex Development platform allows third-party applications tointegrate transaction data -- orders, inventory, invoices and shipments --with their applications, and enable customers and third-party developers tobuild new workflows and applications that look and operate as if NetSuite'sown developers wrote them.

Because NetSuite holds critical business data of a company -- orders,invoices, Web site transactions, shipping records, time tracking and payrolldata -- the applications that are built on it using SuiteFlex provide keytools for managing the company's business. For example, by using Coastal'sPTEBridge for NetSuite, companies can update their NetSuite general ledgerautomatically using time entry and payroll data they have already entered intoADP. PTEBridge is based on Coastal's Payroll Time Export(TM) technology, whichalso allows companies to report on the details of their payroll checks,synchronize employee setup data, and import EZ Labor Manager(TM) data inNetSuite, eliminating the need to enter active labor and time entry data inmultiple applications.
