Switch from SmartClient
The original SmartClient (now known as SmartClient Classic Edition) was built on the old, Windows Desktop-specific VSTO technology. VSTO technology supports Excel Desktop versions including Office 2010.
With the increased popularity of cloud-based Office suites and Apple devices in the workplace, we have chosen the same path and have built the new app CloudExtend for NetSuite on the future-proof, cross-platform Add-in Framework. This platform enables add-ins to run on Office for Windows Desktop, Office Online, Office for Mac, and eventually on Office for Mobile devices
What to Expect?
The SmartClient application of CloudExtend will be discontinued and sunsetted on March 31, 2024. We encourage users to switch to the CloudExtend Excel Data Management NextGen version which has all advanced features like Pricing Matrix Updates and Advanced Bin Management.
