CloroxClorox Adopts Oracle for Record to Report
Clorox, a consumer staples organization in the United States, uses NetSuite from Oracle to support record to report for controllers and shared services.
NetSuite became the place Clorox uses to close the books from one set of operational records.
“Controllers and shared services needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Oracle delivers enterprise applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, including Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.”

Story
Inside Clorox, record to report used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the United States. Controllers and shared services needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Clorox uses NetSuite from Oracle as the working layer for financial close. Oracle delivers enterprise applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, including Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The practical change is simple: record to report has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Clorox gets from Oracle is a durable place to run record to report and a way for controllers and shared services to see the same financial close at the same time.
