Case Study: Sierra at Tahoe Resorts achieves rapid 90-day ERP deployment and $70,000 annual cost savings with Oracle NetSuite

NetSuite Helps Ski Resort Cut Costs, Launch ERP Software in 90 Days

Sierra at Tahoe Resorts, a recreation and hospitality operator in Twin Bridges, CA, was left without IT support after a parent-company divestiture and had just 90 days to replace its JD Edwards ERP. The resort needed a fast-to-deploy, easy-to-learn system because seasonal staffing and lengthy training with the old software made reporting and operations inefficient.

Sierra selected NetSuite OneWorld, completed vendor evaluation in 30 days and implemented the cloud solution in 60 days. The move cut costs by about $70,000 annually versus comparable server-based software, reduced excess end-of-season inventory from over $30,000 to under $5,000, delivered instant monthly P&Ls (eliminating a full-time report writer), and shortened manager training to 45 minutes (staff to 1.5 days) while simplifying accounting across eight properties.
