Our work

Representative engagements.

We don't name clients. Not on this site, not in a proposal, not over coffee. What follows are representative engagements: real problems we solve repeatedly, written so that no single company can be identified.

Representative engagement

Making standard cost variances explainable

Industry: Food & beverage manufacturing
Size: $25M–$100M revenue
Areas: Advanced Manufacturing, standard costing, saved searches

The situation

Every month-end turned up large production variances that nobody could explain. Finance didn't trust the cost roll, the plant didn't trust finance's numbers, and the close took longer each quarter.

What we did

Rebuilt multi-level BOMs and routings so they matched how product is actually made on the floor, including yield and scrap
Reset the standard cost rollup process and the timing of cost revaluations
Mapped variance accounts by type (material, labor, overhead, yield) instead of one catch-all
Built saved searches that trace variance back to the individual work order and component

What changed

Variances became something the team could explain by cause, not just absorb. Plant and finance worked from the same numbers, and the costing review turned into a short, routine step in the close.

Representative engagement

From an annual physical count to continuous accuracy

Industry: Wholesale distribution
Size: Multi-warehouse, lot-controlled inventory
Areas: NetSuite WMS, bins, lot tracking, cycle counting

The situation

On-hand quantities in NetSuite rarely matched the shelf. Pickers searched for product, and the business shut down once a year for a physical count. Tracing a lot during a supplier quality issue took days.

What we did

Designed a bin structure and put-away logic around how the warehouse physically flows
Implemented NetSuite WMS mobile receiving, directed picking, and lot capture at every touchpoint
Set up an ABC-driven cycle count program, with variance review built into the workflow

What changed

Cycle counting replaced the annual shutdown. Pickers were directed to the right bin, and lot traceability went from a multi-day spreadsheet exercise to a saved search.

Representative engagement

Getting people out of the retyping business

Industry: Consumer brand, eCommerce and wholesale
Size: $10M–$50M revenue
Areas: Celigo, eCommerce, EDI, 3PL integration, dashboards

The situation

Web orders, retailer EDI orders, and 3PL shipment confirmations each arrived in a different format, and staff keyed them into NetSuite by hand. Errors surfaced as chargebacks and customer complaints weeks later.

What we did

Built Celigo flows for storefront orders, EDI purchase orders and ASNs, and 3PL fulfillment
Standardized item and customer mapping so every channel landed on clean NetSuite records
Added an exceptions dashboard so problems surface the same day, not on the next chargeback

What changed

Orders flow into NetSuite without anyone retyping them. The team now spends its time on the exceptions instead of on data entry.

Representative engagement

Rescuing a stalled manufacturing implementation

Industry: Discrete manufacturing
Size: Mid-market, single plant
Areas: Implementation recovery, work orders, MRP, data migration

The situation

Months into an implementation, finance was live but manufacturing wasn't. Work orders didn't reflect real production, MRP suggestions were ignored, and the original team had moved on.

What we did

Ran a short diagnostic to separate configuration problems from data problems
Cleaned and reloaded item, BOM, and routing data, then rebuilt the work order lifecycle
Tuned MRP settings until planners trusted its suggestions, and trained the floor on the new flow

What changed

Manufacturing went live on a realistic plan. Planners now buy and build from NetSuite rather than from a side spreadsheet.

In their words

We'd rather you hear it directly.

Our clients' names stay confidential, and so do their quotes unless they choose otherwise. Once we understand your project, we will arrange a reference call with someone who has worked with us on similar work.

Ask for a reference

Your project probably looks like one of these.

Tell us where NetSuite is falling short. We'll tell you, honestly, whether it's work we do well.
