No. Zone & Co focuses on the NetSuite ecosystem. Acterys NetSuite Sync exports to 5 destinations: Power BI, SQL Server, Snowflake, Azure Synapse, and BigQuery.

Q: Does Zone & Co include Power BI dashboards?

Q: What about Zone & Co's pricing?

Zone & Co pricing is not publicly available and typically requires a sales conversation. Acterys NetSuite Sync offers transparent flat-rate annual pricing with no hidden costs.

Q: Can I switch from Zone & Co to NetSuite Sync?

Yes. Since both read from NetSuite, you can run them side by side during a free 14-day trial. NetSuite Sync connects via SuiteQL independently, so there is no conflict with an existing SuiteApp.

Q: Does Zone & Co require ODBC?

It depends on the specific Zone & Co features you use. Acterys NetSuite Sync never requires ODBC. It uses native SuiteQL, which is included in every NetSuite license at no extra cost.

Zone & Co spends $177K/month on Google Ads for NetSuite Power BI keywords. We spent that budget building dashboards, FP&A, and multi-destination support instead.

Zone & Co ZoneReporting vs NetSuite Sync: the short version

ZoneReporting (from Zone & Co) is a NetSuite SuiteApp: it runs reporting inside NetSuite, on SuiteAnalytics Workbook foundations, for teams that want to stay in the NetSuite UI. That is its strength and its ceiling: your data and dashboards live inside NetSuite, so pushing NetSuite data into Power BI, Snowflake, or Excel is not what it is built for.

NetSuite Sync is the opposite shape. It connects via native SuiteQL and moves NetSuite data out to the BI and warehouse tools your team already uses, with six pre-built Power BI dashboards and an FP&A layer on top. Weighing more than one option? See our ZoneReporting alternatives guide.

What is Zone & Co ZoneReporting?

ZoneReporting is a NetSuite SuiteApp from Zone & Co that delivers financial and operational reporting directly inside NetSuite, built on SuiteAnalytics Workbook. It suits teams that want reporting without leaving NetSuite. Because it lives in the NetSuite ecosystem, it does not export to external destinations like Power BI, Snowflake, or BigQuery, where a native SuiteQL connector such as NetSuite Sync is purpose-built instead.
