What started in 2003 with a couple of mates in Melbourne, Australia growing their moustaches for charity, has developed into a global charity with a mission to make an everlasting impact on men’s health. Since inception, Movember has raised AU$938m and funded over 1,200 projects in more than 20 countries.

The Movember movement began with just 30 'Mo Bros' in 2003, and has now grown to a global community inspiring support from over 5 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas, all working together to address some of the biggest health issues faced by men - prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. “Movember’s success can largely be attributed to the strength of the global community,” says Michelle Pearce, Global Innovations and Finance Manager.  “Regardless of where we live, we’re part of something bigger, united by a commitment to help change the face of men’s health.  Our aim is to reduce death amongst men by up to 25% by 2030.”

With such a diverse portfolio of initiatives and projects, Movember realised they needed processes and systems in place to cope with their global growth and expansion. The charity needed something more sophisticated than an accounting package and in 2013 selected the NetSuite’s OneWorld ERP solution.  With a single source of truth allowing real-time insights into their entire operation, the charity has been able to accelerate their mission to support men’s health. 

“The benefits offered by NetSuite’s cloud-based ERP have touched nearly every part of our charity,” commented Michelle.  “Through NetSuite and with the help of implementation partner, Fusion 5, we have been able to allocate resources to other projects, while the ability to quickly export and interpret data has saved us days in reporting.” 

With operations in more than 20 countries, NetSuite’s multi-currency capabilities has enabled the charity to easily and effectively raise money across multiple markets, propelling it to one of the highest profile non-profit organisations globally.
