NetSuite for discrete manufacturing, BOM to shipment.
Discrete manufacturers build from BOMs, work orders, and assemblies. As an Oracle NetSuite Alliance Partner, we implement NetSuite to connect engineering, production, inventory, and costing, so assemblies ship on time at the right margin.
What slows discrete manufacturers
BOMs, work orders, and serials are hard to control in disconnected tools.
BOM and engineering change control
Managing multi-level BOMs and engineering changes in spreadsheets causes errors.
Work order visibility
Production status and material availability are hard to see in real time.
Serial and warranty tracking
Tracking serials for warranty and service is manual and incomplete.
Assembly costing
True assembly cost is unclear without rolled-up material and labor.
How NetSuite supports discrete manufacturing
We connect engineering, production, inventory, and costing in one system.
