Laying the Foundations for Ongoing Success with Oracle NetSuite
ABERDEEN Football Club has scored big off the pitch by partnering with Eureka Solutions in a strategic move to transform its business operations. This forward-thinking collaboration will lay the groundwork for the Club’s future success through the implementation of Oracle NetSuite, a cutting-edge enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
The Premiership club is modernising its financial management software, introducing innovative tools to streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making. By automating routine tasks and providing real-time data insights, the partnership will ensure Aberdeen FC’s operational efficiency matches its ambition on the field.
Kevin MacIver, Finance Director at Aberdeen FC, explained the significance of the move: “Our legacy finance system, in use for over 20 years, lacked the efficiency and scalability needed to support our growth ambitions. By integrating Oracle NetSuite with the expertise of Eureka Solutions, we are not just upgrading our systems but creating a future-facing operation.”
The project focuses on automating key administrative functions, such as purchase order approvals and accounts payable automation, while improving cost control and budget monitoring.
Kevin added: “NetSuite allows real-time access to our data, which will enable faster preparation of management accounts and reporting to our board, and better overall financial oversight.
“This system will also empower department heads with clearer, timely reports and dashboards tailored to their needs, facilitating proactive management.”
David Lindores, CEO of Eureka Solutions expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “It’s an honour to partner with Aberdeen FC, a club that consistently demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to success both on and off the pitch.
“The challenges Kevin highlighted during our onboarding process—such as the inefficiencies of outdated processes and the need for real-time financial insights—are precisely the kind of issues Oracle NetSuite is designed to address.
“By modernising Aberdeen FC’s financial systems, we help to lay a solid foundation for long-term growth and streamlined operations, setting Aberdeen FC apart as a leader in modern football club management.”

Kevin MacIver added: “This isn’t just about replacing a legacy system – it’s about preparing for sustainable growth and operational excellence.
“As we continue to explore new modules and integrations, this partnership will remain pivotal to our ambitions.”
