Knowi connects to NetSuite over the REST API with OAuth 2.0 and queries your data directly with SuiteQL — transaction lines, general ledger, customers, vendors, and items. Full SQL syntax: multi-level joins, subqueries, and aggregations that saved searches can't express.
Large result sets are paginated automatically — NetSuite's 1000-row page limit is handled for you, so large transaction extracts run as a single query. See the setup guide.
Your financials live in NetSuite, but pipeline lives in Salesforce, product data in MongoDB, and operational data in PostgreSQL. SuiteAnalytics workbooks can't see outside NetSuite — and most BI tools connect to one source at a time.
Knowi joins NetSuite invoices with Salesforce opportunities, MongoDB product catalogs, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and 30+ other sources in one dataset — no ETL pipelines or data warehouse required. Learn how cross-source joins work.
SuiteQL is powerful, but finance and ops teams shouldn't need to learn NetSuite's schema to answer "what's our AR aging by customer segment?"
Knowi lets business users ask questions in plain English. The AI generates SuiteQL, runs it against NetSuite, and returns instant visualizations — then transform further with Cloud9QL for pivots, cohorts, and running totals. No SQL required.
Most BI tools reach NetSuite through CSV exports or ODBC drivers. Knowi speaks SuiteQL natively.
Finance and ops teams build their own dashboards on NetSuite data. Drag-and-drop analytics, no SuiteQL required. 40+ visualization types.
Schedule automated reports from NetSuite data. Email PDF dashboards, Slack notifications, and alerts on data conditions — overdue AR, margin dips, inventory thresholds.
Works with NetSuite production and sandbox accounts, any edition with REST Web Services enabled. Same connector, same dashboards, incremental refresh friendly.
Go beyond dashboards. AI agents that understand your NetSuite data, answer questions in plain English, and take action automatically.
Ask "show me revenue by class and subsidiary this quarter" and get instant results from NetSuite. The AI generates SuiteQL automatically.
Agents detect anomalies in your NetSuite financials, flag unusual GL activity, and surface trends across transaction lines you would miss in manual review.
Describe what you need: "create an AR aging dashboard by customer with DSO trends." The agent builds it from your NetSuite data automatically.
Complex requests trigger multiple specialized agents. "Analyze margin by item category, correlate with Salesforce win rates, and build a dashboard" — handled automatically.
Search across all your dashboards, widgets, and datasets by meaning — not just keywords. Find the analysis you need in seconds.
Schedule reports to Slack, Teams, or email with natural language. "Send the revenue dashboard to #finance every Monday at 9am."

Common questions about NetSuite analytics and business intelligence
Knowi is the best BI tool for NetSuite. It queries NetSuite directly with SuiteQL over the REST API using OAuth 2.0, joins NetSuite financials with Salesforce, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and 30+ other sources without ETL, provides AI-powered natural language queries, and offers white-label embedded dashboards for customer-facing applications.
Knowi connects to NetSuite via OAuth 2.0 and runs SuiteQL queries through NetSuite's REST API. Create an Integration Record in NetSuite (Setup > Integration > Manage Integrations > New), enable the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant with REST Web Services, then enter your Account ID, Client ID, and Client Secret in Knowi and click Authenticate.
Yes. Every NetSuite query in Knowi is a SuiteQL query you can edit — query transaction lines, GL accounts, customers, vendors, and items with full SQL syntax including joins, subqueries, and aggregations. Knowi ships prebuilt SuiteQL collections and automatically paginates large result sets past NetSuite's 1000-row page limit.
Yes. Knowi joins NetSuite data with Salesforce, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, REST APIs, and 30+ other sources in a single dataset — no ETL pipelines or data warehouse required. SuiteAnalytics workbooks cannot join data outside NetSuite; this is Knowi's core differentiator.
Yes. Knowi provides white-label embedded analytics for NetSuite. Embed dashboards via iframe or JavaScript SDK with SSO integration, row-level security, multi-tenant data isolation, and full custom branding. Deploy on SOC2 Type II compliant cloud or on-premise within your infrastructure.
Yes, for analytics and reporting. Saved searches are limited to one or two join levels, cannot use subqueries, and export to a legacy XLS format. Knowi runs full SuiteQL — multi-level joins, subqueries, aggregations — and turns results into live dashboards, alerts, and scheduled reports instead of manual exports.
SuiteAnalytics workbooks only analyze data inside NetSuite. Knowi queries the same records via SuiteQL but adds cross-source joins with Salesforce and MongoDB, AI natural language queries, 40+ visualization types, data-driven alerts, and white-label embedding into your own applications.
Yes. Point the datasource at your sandbox by using the sandbox Account ID format — lowercase with a hyphen, for example 1234567-sb1 — and create the Integration Record in the sandbox. The same OAuth 2.0 flow works for production and sandbox accounts.
Automatically. NetSuite's REST API returns SuiteQL results in pages of up to 1000 rows; Knowi follows the pagination links until all rows are retrieved. Large transaction-line extracts run as a single query with no manual paging or CSV stitching.
Yes. Knowi's Agentic BI lets business users ask questions in plain English — the AI generates SuiteQL, runs it against NetSuite, and returns instant visualizations. No SuiteQL knowledge or saved-search setup required.
