What does FernSpeed add on top of NetSuite?

FernSpeed is Softype's F&B-specific solution layer on NetSuite — mobile-ready UI for kitchen and floor staff, outlet-level ingredient and batch tracking, smooth production management, custom workflows that match real-world operations, and accelerated deployment with industry-specific features.

Does Softype handle IRS + state tax authorities and FDA + FSMA compliance together?

Yes. Softype's standard F&B build configures audit-trail templates — product registration history, batch genealogy from raw-material lot to customer shipment — in parallel with IRS + state tax authorities CAS configuration. Both are tested in the sandbox before go-live.

What's the typical engagement cost?

NetSuite license plus Softype's implementation services plus optional annual managed services. Softype itemizes every line — license, implementation, US Localization (SuiteTax + GAAP + OneWorld), FernSpeed, and add-ons — in the proposal, so finance leaders see what they're buying without surprises.
