# What is SphericalBRM + POS?

SphericalBRM + POS at a glance — what it is, who uses it, and how it fits with your existing NetSuite account.

<code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> is a business management platform that runs on top of your existing NetSuite account. It gives your team modern web portals for everyday work — taking sales, managing orders, browsing catalogs, and viewing reports — without ever logging into NetSuite directly.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your data stays in NetSuite. <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> reads from and writes to your account, so customers, products, orders, and inventory all live in one place.
{% endhint %}

## Three portals, one platform

<code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> is delivered as three web portals. Each is built for a different audience.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th>Portal</th><th>Who uses it</th><th>What they do</th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Admin Portal</strong></td><td>Client administrators</td><td>Build pages, set up workflows, manage users, customize branding, organize catalogs.</td><td><a href="/client-admin-guide/admin-app-overview.md">Getting Started</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>User Portal</strong></td><td>Cashiers, sales reps, store managers, B2B buyers</td><td>Process sales, place orders, view dashboards, run reports — all tailored to their role.</td><td><a href="/end-user-guide/welcome/your-dashboard.md">Your Dashboard</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Public Portal</strong></td><td>Anyone — no login required</td><td>View pages your admin has made public — no account or login needed.</td><td><a href="/getting-started/choose-your-path.md">Choose Your Path</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## How it all works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Your NetSuite admin installs it

<code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> is added to your existing NetSuite account as an add-on. Your NetSuite administrator handles this one-time setup.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### A client admin configures your portals

Using the Admin Portal, a client administrator builds the pages your team will use, creates roles, sets up workflows, and organizes your product catalog. All visual — no coding.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Your team logs in and gets to work

Once everything is configured, team members log into the User Portal and see exactly the tools and pages relevant to their role.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## What makes it different

### Visual page builder

Drag and drop from over 80 ready-made elements — buttons, tables, charts, order forms, catalogs — to build the pages your team uses every day.

### Multi-location support

Each location or region can have its own settings, branding, currency, tax rules, and catalogs. Users see only what's relevant to where they work.

### Flexible workflows

A cashier sees a point-of-sale screen. A sales rep sees an order form. A manager sees reports. Workflows tailor each user's experience to their job.

### Role-based access

Create roles that match your organization, assign them to users, and each person gets the right set of tools when they log in.

### Built on NetSuite

Your existing NetSuite data, business rules, and processes keep working. <code class="expression">space.vars.productName</code> gives your team a better way to interact with all of it.
