The Problem

Food products expire. Your systems can't afford to fail.

Traceability gaps

Can you trace every lot from supplier to customer in minutes? Auditors and recalls don't wait for spreadsheets.

Expiration chaos

Product spoiling on shelves while newer inventory ships. FEFO in theory, not in practice.

Channel complexity

Wholesale, retail, e-commerce, food service—each with different pricing, packaging, and requirements.

Compliance burden

FDA, FSMA, organic certifications—manual documentation that consumes resources and creates risk.

One recall without traceability can destroy your business. BrokenRubik connects your NetSuite, e-commerce, and fulfillment as one system—with lot tracking that follows every product from supplier to customer.

Food & Beverage FAQs

Can NetSuite handle perishable inventory?

Yes. NetSuite tracks expiration dates at the lot level and supports FEFO (First Expired, First Out) allocation. We configure shelf-life warnings, quarantine workflows, and waste tracking for perishable products.

How does NetSuite support food safety compliance?

NetSuite provides lot traceability, quality management, and documentation capabilities that support FDA and FSMA requirements. We configure the system to capture the data needed for compliance and audits.

Does NetSuite handle both manufacturing and distribution?

Yes. NetSuite supports food and beverage companies whether they manufacture products, distribute them, or both. The configuration differs based on your operations, but the platform handles the full value chain.

Can NetSuite manage multiple sales channels?

Yes. NetSuite serves as your central hub for wholesale, retail, e-commerce, and food service channels. Orders from all channels flow into one system for fulfillment and financial management.

How long does an F&B implementation take?

Typical implementations run 12-18 weeks depending on complexity. Distribution-only operations take 10-12 weeks. Manufacturing with full traceability and multiple channels extends to 14-18 weeks.

What about allergen and certification tracking?

NetSuite tracks allergen information by ingredient and finished good. We configure custom fields and workflows for organic, non-GMO, kosher, and other certifications your products require.

How do you handle the transition without disrupting operations?

We plan implementations around your production schedules and peak seasons, using parallel running and phased cutovers to maintain operations. Your production doesn't stop for ERP.

Why choose BrokenRubik for F&B?

F&B companies need integrations that work—Shopify for D2C, EDI for retail, WMS for fulfillment. BrokenRubik connects these systems with real-time sync using Celigo, Boomi, or n8n. Lot tracking follows products across every system, not just NetSuite. We've done this for 150+ clients with a 98% retention rate.
