“This roll-out, now underway, is on schedule to be completed in August 2009. Jollibee’s US subsidiary is currently using NetSuite for real-time financial reporting and plans to deploy more functionality of NetSuite OneWorld in the near future.”

According to Baysa, Jollibee's corporate headquarters uses Oracle for financial management and reporting, but the company had decided that expanding Oracle to Jollibee's international operations would be too costly and resource-intensive.

“As a result, the company's broader business interests relied on a patchwork of legacy systems with no real integration. Reporting and consolidation were managed over e-mail, making timely and informed decisions difficult. Processes were opaque, restricting Jollibee from acting as a truly coordinated international entity.

“Seeking a solution with world-class capabilities, rapid deployment, and reliable, proven integration processes, Jollibee turned to NetSuite. The company quickly deployed NetSuite OneWorld first in Vietnam, where its flexibility and ease of implementation were solid proof that NetSuite could accommodate Jollibee's rapid international expansion.”

Baysa said Jollibee currently operated over 1,800 restaurants worldwide and the company’s current expansion plans called for a new store location opening every two days on average, or nearly 200 each year.
