FAQs

SuiteDynamics is a NetSuite consulting firm specializing in ERP implementations, NetSuite IP and customizations, and ongoing NetSuite training and support for manufacturers. Since 2021, we've completed over 200 NetSuite implementations, helping mid-market companies optimize their NetSuite systems to match their actual business processes.

NetSuite can be customized for manufacturing through IP like SuiteDynamics' Dynamic Job Shop, workflows, custom records, and integrations. Common customizations include custom routing logic, BOM versioning, shop floor dashboards, barcode scanning integrations, and automated quality control workflows. We help manufacturers implement these customizations efficiently without lengthy consulting engagements, focusing on practical solutions that deliver immediate value.

NetSuite is built for linear, repeatable processes, while job shops often have highly variable, custom orders with changing routings. Out-of-the-box NetSuite struggles with made-to-order item configuration, dynamic routing changes, dimensional material tracking, and lot-specific quality requirements. We specialize in bridging these gaps through our IP that makes NetSuite work for non-linear manufacturing operations.

Post-implementation friction is common when teams realize NetSuite doesn't fit their actual workflows. We offer rapid optimization services to address broken dashboards, manual workarounds, Excel dependencies, and disconnected apps. Rather than starting over, we enhance your existing NetSuite instance to better match your operations, often resolving critical issues in weeks rather than months.

Most NetSuite consulting firms target large enterprises with lengthy discovery cycles and high hourly rates. We specialize in serving manufacturers with 50-500 employees who need fast, affordable help. We focus on practical solutions that deliver immediate ROI rather than drawn-out strategic engagements, making enterprise-level NetSuite expertise accessible to mid-market manufacturers.

NetSuite customization costs vary widely based on complexity. Simple workflow automations might cost $2,000-$5,000, while comprehensive solutions like custom configurators or advanced integrations can range from $15,000-$50,000+. We provide transparent pricing and focus on solutions that deliver measurable ROI. Contact us for a specific quote based on your needs.

Yes, we specialize in NetSuite integrations including WMS, MES, shipping platforms, barcode scanners, e-commerce platforms, and custom applications. For complex multi-system integration needs, we offer SuiteX iPaaS, a powerful NetSuite-native integration platform. We also use various custom integration approaches depending on your needs: RESTlet APIs, SuiteTalk, middleware platforms, or custom integrations. Our goal is creating seamless data flow between NetSuite and your other critical business systems.

Timeline depends on scope. NetSuite optimization projects typically take 4-12 weeks, while full implementations for new clients range from 3-6 months depending on company size and complexity. Unlike traditional consultants, we focus on getting you operational quickly rather than extending projects unnecessarily. We believe in fast implementation with iterative improvements over time.

Yes, we offer ongoing support packages for NetSuite troubleshooting, enhancements, and user training. Many clients keep us on retainer for minor customizations, issue resolution, and optimization projects. We're designed to be your go-to NetSuite resource without the overhead of hiring a full-time NetSuite administrator.

Absolutely. Many clients come to us after losing an internal NetSuite admin or consultant. We can quickly step in to maintain your instance, document existing customizations, train new team members, and ensure business continuity. We often serve as an outsourced NetSuite admin for companies that don't need a full-time employee.

NetSuite can work for custom fabrication, but requires specialized knowledge. Our IP, Dynamic Configurator, was built to bridge this gap. Standard NetSuite assumes you're building the same products repeatedly, while custom fabrication involves unique specs for each order. We help custom fabricators configure NetSuite to handle rapid order configuration, dimensional material requirements, and the variability inherent in custom manufacturing work.
