Manufacturing Solutions

NetSuite ERP for manufacturers. Work orders, BOM management, production scheduling, inventory control, and shop floor visibility.

10+ Years NetSuite Focus · Senior Developers Only · 150+ Projects Delivered

The Problem

Manufacturing is already complex. Your ERP shouldn't make it worse.

Inventory chaos

Raw materials in one system, WIP in spreadsheets, finished goods in another. No real-time visibility into what you actually have.

Production delays

Manual scheduling, no shop floor visibility, and constant expediting. You're always reacting instead of planning.

Costing guesswork

You don't know true product costs until month-end—if then. Material variances, labor allocations, and overhead are mysteries.

Disconnected operations

Sales, production, purchasing, and finance all working from different data. Decisions based on outdated information.

Disconnected systems kill margins. When production, inventory, and finance don't talk to each other, you're flying blind. At BrokenRubik, we design NetSuite environments where everything connects—ERP, shop floor, EDI partners—as one unified system.

Our Approach

Senior developers. Weekly demos. No surprises.

We don't send junior consultants to learn on your dime. Every BrokenRubik project has senior NetSuite developers with 8+ years of experience. You get weekly demos, transparent communication, and a team that tells you what you need to hear—not what you want to hear.

  1. 1

    Manufacturing Discovery

    Map your production processes, BOMs, routings, and costing methods. Document current pain points and define success metrics.

  2. 2

    Solution Design

    Design item hierarchy, BOM structures, work center setup, and costing configuration. You approve the blueprint before we build.

  3. 3

    Configuration & Build

    Configure manufacturing modules, set up production workflows, build custom reports. Iterative delivery with working demos.

  4. 4

    Data Migration

    Migrate items, BOMs, inventory balances, open orders, and historical data. Multiple test loads ensure accuracy.

  5. 5

    Integration & Testing

    Connect to shop floor systems, EDI partners, and other business applications. Comprehensive UAT with your production team.

  6. 6

    Training & Go-Live

    Role-based training for production, planning, and finance teams. Controlled cutover with hypercare support.

Let's talk about your manufacturing operation

We'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If NetSuite isn't the right fit, we'll say so. If your current implementation needs rescue, we'll be honest about what it takes.

What happens after you submit:

  1. 1We respond within 24 hours—usually same day
  2. 2A senior consultant (not a sales rep) will map your challenges
  3. 3You'll get a clear scope and timeline—no hidden change orders

No pressure. No generic pitch. Just honest conversation with people who've done this 150+ times.

Manufacturing FAQs

How long does a manufacturing NetSuite implementation take?

Typical manufacturing implementations run 12-20 weeks depending on complexity. A single-facility discrete manufacturer with standard costing takes 12-14 weeks. Multi-facility operations with advanced manufacturing, process manufacturing, or complex costing extend to 16-20 weeks.

Does NetSuite support both discrete and process manufacturing?

Yes. NetSuite supports discrete manufacturing (work orders, assemblies, kits) and process manufacturing (formulas, recipes, co-products, by-products). We configure the system based on your specific manufacturing model.

Can NetSuite handle multi-level BOMs?

Yes. NetSuite supports unlimited BOM levels, phantom assemblies, revision control, and effectivity dates. We set up your item hierarchy and BOM structures to match your actual product architecture.

How does NetSuite handle production costing?

NetSuite supports standard, average, and actual costing methods. You can track material, labor, and overhead variances in real-time. We configure costing to match your accounting requirements and provide visibility into true product costs.

Can NetSuite integrate with our shop floor systems?

Yes. We integrate NetSuite with MES systems, barcode scanners, PLCs, and other shop floor equipment. We use Celigo, Boomi, or n8n depending on your requirements and budget—n8n can reduce integration costs by up to 89% compared to traditional iPaaS platforms.

What about lot traceability and quality management?

NetSuite provides full lot traceability from receiving through production to shipment. We configure quality workflows, inspection points, and hold/release processes to meet your quality requirements and compliance needs.

How do you handle the transition without stopping production?

We plan implementations around your production schedule, using phased rollouts, parallel running, and weekend cutovers to minimize disruption. Your production doesn't stop for ERP—we work around it.

Why choose BrokenRubik over other NetSuite partners?

We're not a massive consultancy rotating junior resources through your project. BrokenRubik is a boutique NetSuite specialist with 10+ years of exclusive focus, senior developers on every engagement, and a 98% client retention rate. We treat your ERP, integrations, and e-commerce as one interconnected system—not isolated problems to fix.
