BACKGROUND

APP ANNIE TRACKS MORE THAN 6.4 MILLION MOBILE APPS WORLDWIDE AND IS ONE OF NUMEROUS NETSUITE CUSTOMERS IN THE SOFTWARE SECTOR THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED EXPLOSIVE GROWTH IN RECENT YEARS. FROM 2011 TO 2014, APP ANNIE GREW REVENUE BY 5,383% AND ACHIEVED A #10 RANKING ON DELOITTE’S 2015 TECHNOLOGY FAST 500.

CHALLENGES

APPANNIE HAS OVER 375000 APPS CONNECTED TO THEIR PLATFORM WORLDWIDE, AND CHINA IS AN EVER MORE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS MIX. IT WAS THEREFORE CRUCIAL THAT APPANNIE’S BACK-END OPERATIONS ARE AS EFFICIENT AND AUTOMATED AS POSSIBLE, INCLUDING CHINA GAAP REPORT GENERATION.

APPANNIE HAD ALREADY PURCHASED NETSUITE FOR THEIR GLOBAL OPERATIONS, BUT NEEDED A  PARTNER IN CHINA TO HELP LOCALISE NETSUITE FOR THEIR OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS IN THIS REGION. 

SOLUTION

 TRIGGER NETWORKS HELPED APPANNIE DEPLOY OUR LISTED SUITEAPP: "CHINA GAAP FOR NETSUITE” TO SUPPORT THEIR CHINA SUBSIDIARIES. THIS BUNDLE ALLOWS COMPANIES TO AUTOMATE CHINA GAAP STATUTORY REPORT GENERATION AND MANAGE THEIR CRITICAL FINANCIAL DATA ENTIRELY ON NETSUITE TRIGGER NETWORKS ALSO SUPPORTED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS SERVICE WITH COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING TO APPANNIES ACCOUNTING STAFF, INCLUDING:

• ADMINISTRATION TRAINING
• CHART OF ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT  TRAINING
• TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT TRAINING
• JOURNALS, INVOICES AND BILLING PROCESSES TRAINING
• REVENUE RECOGNITION MANAGEMENT TRAINING
• NETSUITE DEVELOPER TOOL SUITESCRIPT TRAINING

RESULT

BY MANAGING CHINESE FINANCE OPERATIONS ENTIRELY ON NETSUITE, APPANNIE WAS ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE MANUAL WORKLOAD OF THEIR FINANCE DEPARTMENT. BECAUSE ALL FINANCE OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED ON NETSUITE’S SECURE CLOUD PLATFORM, APPANNIE WAS ALSO ABLE TO AVOID THE RISK OF INTEGRATING NETSUITE WITH A LOCALLY DEVELOPED ON-PREMISE 3RD PARTY APPLICATION.
