Every six months, NetSuite delivers updates that quietly - but powerfully - reshape how finance, operations, and commerce leaders run their businesses. The 2025.2 release is no exception. With major improvements across accounting, authentication, banking, CRM, inventory, manufacturing, order management, analytics, and user experience, this release delivers practical wins for teams managing complexity at scale.
Below, we break down the most impactful enhancements your business should know about - complete with visuals to show what’s new.

A new dashboard gives instant visibility into transaction volumes, file cabinet size, and user counts - helping admins anticipate when an account needs to upgrade tiers.
