Case Study: Accelerate Learning achieves 121% growth and scalable cloud financials with Oracle NetSuite

Provider of Popular STEM Learning Software Launches, Grows Its Business on NetSuite

Accelerate Learning, a Rice University spin-out founded in 2013, is the developer of STEMscopes digital science curriculum used in nearly 10,000 schools. As the company scaled rapidly—from a two‑person startup to about 100 employees—it needed a scalable, cloud-based system to handle subscription revenue recognition, billing, financials, fulfillment and inventory for its growing customer base.

In 2014 Accelerate Learning implemented NetSuite ERP to centralize financials, automate revenue recognition for its subscription model, and manage billing and inventory. The cloud platform supported rapid growth (revenues up 121% over two years), simplified financial operations, enabled broader strategic initiatives—including potential international expansion—and helped maintain focus on product outcomes, where students using STEMscopes showed improved test performance.
