Beggars Group will use NetSuite OneWorld to run mission-critical business operations including financial consolidation, inventory management, order management, expense management and multi-currency (US dollar, British pound, and Euro) across 22 subsidiaries worldwide, all within one single instance of NetSuite OneWorld and without incurring huge IT overhead and costs.

"NetSuite is providing Beggars Group with exactly what we need, a global financial system that brings all of our diverse businesses together under one single cloud-based platform, allowing us to focus on our core competency of supporting our artists," said Paul Redding, CEO at Beggars Group.
