Meridian Business Services is an award-winning NetSuite Solution Provider specializing in consulting, implementing, supporting, and developing the full range of NetSuite products.
“We help companies move into the future with end-to-end ERP solutions,” said Travis Schwartz, Managing Partner. “Our passion is helping clients adopt new technology and enable more effective business processes. We believe this involves helping companies navigate the journey of business improvement as they leverage the right solution to grow their business.”
Founded in 2003 as a CPA firm in Kansas City, Meridian eventually expanded into Omaha in 2020 and now has five people and has worked with over 30 local companies.
“Meridian is very focused on understanding your entire business process,” said Schwartz. “Although we are primarily focused on NetSuite Solutions, we can also provide expertise in upstream and downstream business process areas. Our methodology has key control points that ensure we can meet customer needs while not over-engineering services and solutions.”
For Meridian, uncovering customer roadblocks all starts with their holistic approach to problem-solving.
“We start with a close examination of each client’s financial and operational structures,” said Schwartz. “Next, we identify the software that best fits their needs, and then seamlessly implement it and support it throughout the relationship.”
“In this way, we bring real value with a repeatable solution and process for our customers.”
But as driven as they are towards solving complex business problems for their clients, Meridian’s investment in their employees is even more substantial.
“Our employees have nearly limitless opportunities to learn about various business processes and technical solutions,” said Schwartz.
“We have developed roles that allow for a natural career progression that increases responsibility and leadership. Working with small- and medium-sized businesses provides rapid knowledge collection and an accelerated learning model. We also offer a formal onboarding program and training curriculum that provides new-hire support as they assimilate to our culture strategy.”
“Meridian is focused on helping our clients, teams, and community transformation.”
