The Transformation

What changes after an independent audit

These aren't NetSuite problems. They're contract problems. You don't need a new ERP\u2014you need someone to audit what you're paying for.

Before the Audit

  • Paying for modules nobody uses (Advanced Revenue Mgmt, WMS, SuiteAnalytics Connect)
  • Annual renewal hikes of 10-15% with no explanation
  • No visibility into actual license utilization by user or role
  • Auto-renewal traps that lock you in before you can negotiate
  • OneWorld tier when your subsidiary structure doesn’t require it
  • Failed implementation but still paying full license price

After BrokenRubik

  • Every module justified by actual usage data—shelfware eliminated
  • Renewal caps negotiated based on CPI benchmarks and market rates
  • Complete utilization dashboard: logins, modules, roles, features
  • Contract terms reviewed with 120-day negotiation runway
  • Right-sized tier aligned to your real business structure
  • Stabilization roadmap to finally get value from your investment

About NetSuite License Optimization

How NetSuite license optimization saves real money

NetSuite license optimization is the systematic audit and renegotiation of your NetSuite contract — user license types, module add-ons, role assignments, contract structure, and renewal terms. Most mid-market accounts have 15-30% of license cost wasted on misaligned user types, dormant accounts, and modules that nobody uses. We typically recover $30K-$200K/year in license savings.

01

Where license waste hides

Common patterns we find: full users ($129-199/mo) assigned to people who only need employee self-service ($15-25/mo), dormant accounts still active months after the user left, modules paid for but not configured (Manufacturing, WMS, SuitePeople), CRM-only users on full licenses, and unused sandbox add-ons.

License audit reviews each user against actual usage and recommends right-sizing per role.

02

Renewal negotiation

NetSuite renewals automatically include 5-8% price increases unless you negotiate caps. The window for renegotiation is 90-120 days before contract end — by the time the renewal letter arrives, leverage is already gone.

We help clients prepare for renewal: usage data, alternative cost benchmarks, multi-year vs annual decisions, and the specific levers that move Oracle's pricing flexibility.

03

Module right-sizing

Most accounts pay for modules they don't fully use. Advanced Inventory ($500/mo) when you only use basic inventory features. Manufacturing ($600-2,000/mo) configured but never adopted. SuiteCommerce Standard when SuiteCommerce Advanced was sold.

We audit module usage and identify which modules to drop, downgrade, or replace with cheaper alternatives that still meet business needs.

04

Contract structure beyond price

Beyond raw price, contract terms matter: cancellation flexibility, price increase caps, true-up vs true-down rules, sandbox refresh allotments, and support tier inclusions. Most companies sign without reviewing these.

Our license audits cover both pricing and contract structure so you don't lock in unfavorable terms for 3 years.

Our Process

How the audit works

A structured engagement designed to give you maximum leverage at renewal. We handle the analysis - you handle the negotiation, armed with data.

  1. 1

    Contract Review

    We review your current agreement, renewal terms, and pricing history. We identify auto-renewal dates and negotiation windows.

  2. 2

    Utilization Audit

    We pull data from your NetSuite instance: login frequency, module usage, role assignments, and feature adoption across your organization.

  3. 3

    Savings Report

    You receive a detailed report showing shelfware, underutilized modules, and specific dollar amounts you can recover at renewal.

  4. 4

    Negotiation Support

    We arm your team with data and talking points. We can join renewal calls to provide technical evidence and counter vendor claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we start the audit?

Ideally 120 days before your renewal date. This gives you enough time to complete the audit, build your negotiation strategy, and engage Oracle/NetSuite from a position of strength. If you're closer to renewal, reach out anyway—we can fast-track the process.

What do you mean by shelfware?

Shelfware is any NetSuite module, user license, or feature you're paying for but not actually using. Common examples include Advanced Revenue Management, Warehouse Management, SuiteAnalytics Connect, and user licenses for employees who rarely log in. Most companies have 20-30% shelfware.

Can we actually remove modules from our NetSuite contract?

Not mid-term—NetSuite contracts typically don't allow reductions until renewal. But at renewal, you have significant leverage. Our audit gives you the data to justify dropping underutilized modules and negotiating lower rates on what you keep.

Do you negotiate with Oracle on our behalf?

We provide the technical analysis and can join calls as your technical advisor, but your procurement team leads the commercial negotiation. We arm them with the data and talking points they need.

What if our implementation is partially failed?

That's actually one of our specialties. We assess what's working, what's broken, and create a stabilization roadmap. This serves dual purposes: it gets you actual value from your current investment, and it strengthens your renewal negotiation position.

How much does the audit cost vs. how much we'll save?

The audit typically costs a fraction of what clients save. Most engagements pay for themselves 5-10x. We'll give you an honest estimate of potential savings during our initial conversation—if the numbers don't justify the audit, we'll tell you.

What if we're happy with NetSuite but think we're overpaying?

That's the most common scenario. You don't want to leave NetSuite—you just want to pay a fair price for what you actually use. The audit helps you right-size your contract without disrupting your operations.
