Case Study: Handheld Group accelerates global expansion and gains unified financial visibility with Oracle NetSuite OneWorld

Handheld Accelerates Global Expansion with NetSuite OneWorld

Handheld Group, a Sweden-based maker of rugged mobile devices, grew from a Scandinavian division into a $30M global business with 60 employees and operations in nine countries. That expansion revealed the limits of its local accounting software: subsidiaries ran different systems, financial consolidation and reporting relied on error-prone manual processes, and the company struggled to scale.

Handheld implemented NetSuite OneWorld and CRM with partner Alterview to unify financial, customer and inventory data across 11 subsidiaries. The cloud solution delivered real-time visibility, streamlined customer service (online service requests), overhauled sales and forecasting, and made it easy to add employees and manage global operations—enabling faster expansion and immediate access to accurate daily financials.
