NetSuite Customization

With more than 500 Oracle NetSuite ERP implementations completed, we’ve learned to customize NetSuite ERP to meet the needs of our clients. Whether your team needs minor configuration changes or a NetSuite customization, we can help. Let’s start with a better understanding of what a NetSuite customization is.

What’s an ERP Customization?

After you purchase an ERP system, your vendor usually configures it as part of the implementation. ERP configurations are minor changes that your vendor makes to fine-tune the out of box functionality of the ERP system. Depending on your company’s needs, your ERP supplier will change fields, forms, languages, time zones, currencies, units of measure, and other items. The vendor’s tweaks to the system ensure that the final configured solution matches your business requirements.

Whereas ERP configurations are minor changes, if your company needs system customization, your vendor must build new capabilities that didn’t previously exist in the ERP. ERP customizations require a great deal of product knowledge and are often carried out by an ERP partner, like Softype.

Why have Softype Customize the Oracle NetSuite ERP?

NetSuite ERP Removes Customization Risks

NetSuite uses a unified data model—the entire system and all elements are built on a single code source. As a true cloud, the “one source of truth” approach that the NetSuite platform is built on makes customizations and developing add-ons to the systems more secure and simplified.

In addition to the unified data model approach, NetSuite reduces customization risks by:

Ensuring that no client is ever version locked by using a patented twice-yearly upgrade process

Assuming any of your consulting charges that could be required if customizations broke on upgrade

Your Business Needs Specific Enhancements

Every business has its own unique set of business processes. NetSuite services various industries and verticals, which means that sometimes companies need to enhance the out-of- the-box system to fit their needs.

However, to make the most of your NetSuite ERP investment, you may consider the option of customizing the solution to meet the unique needs of your business. NetSuite customization helps align with long-term business goals.

What NetSuite ERP Customizations can Softype Provide?

On your behalf, Softype will build new functions, extend NetSuite to third-party applications, and customize software functions and dashboards. Softype will use NetSuite’s SuiteCloud technologies to develop your customization. SuiteCloud is a comprehensive toolkit used to build and implement complex processes. 

SuiteScript enables organizations like yours to completely customize and automate business processes, allowing them to build new functions, processes, and applications in NetSuite. Using SuiteScript, you can:

Access and manipulate core business records and user information via scripts that are executed at pre-defined events
Build custom HTML, Flash, or NetSuite-based interfaces from scratch or by leveraging SuiteScript User Interface (UI) Objects
Automate workflows and customize business processes using JavaScript extensions
Enforce data validation and business rules by triggering User Event SuiteScripts as users open, edit, or save records
Facilitate field-level calculations and alerts which run within the user’s browser as they work with data and records within NetSuite

SuiteTalk allows your company to integrate NetSuite with various on-premise and cloud environments. SuiteTalk makes enhancing, extending, and integrating third-party and legacy systems easy. Using SuiteTalk, your company can:

Build website-to-NetSuite integrations as well as create lightweight custom mobile applications
Exchange any data element, workflow process, or transaction to create a seamless, unified business management solution
Use any programming language or platform that supports the SOAP or REST standard to generate NetSuite business objects in that language
Achieve full support for customization, including strongly typed custom fields with automatic validation based on the field type

SuiteBuilder allows organizations to customize components that control how users interact with NetSuite. You can tailor NetSuite to individual business needs and processes using a simple point-and-click interface for creating fields, forms, record types, and transaction types. Using SuiteBuilder, you can:

Customize the NetSuite application without having to write a single line of code
Define how users interact with NetSuite and what data they have access to by setting permissions for individual roles or specific groups of roles with similar
tasks
Customize data relationships and user interfaces via Custom Records that can stand-alone or easily tie in with standard objects such as customers or items in data relationships ranging from one-to-one, one-to-many, to many-to-many
Customize dashboards and view key performance indicators and trend graphs to enhance productivity

SuiteAnalytics allows you to leverage embedded Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities to unearth real-time insights from custom applications. Using SuiteAnalytics, you can:
