NetSuite keeps the score—while Deposco does the heavy lifting
The following is a pattern we see constantly: businesses grow faster than their ERP alone can handle. Offloading complexity to a purpose-built platform— while letting NetSuite do what it does best—fuels rapid growth without the heavy lifting. Explore The Solution
Outerspace did this beautifully
They were a startup 3PL with big ambitions that paid off.
As they grew to serve some of the most dynamic high-growth brands in the country, their operational complexity grew with them: more warehouses, more clients, more channels, more volume. Scaling a 3PL means the fulfillment systems have to work for dozens of different businesses at once, each with their own requirements, SLAs, and expectations.
Running NetSuite for financials, Outerspace complemented their tech stack with Deposco’s 3PL fulfillment solution to simplify and match their operations to their growth ambitions. Within nine months of adding Deposco, they saw 12x revenue growth and 4x increase in monthly orders shipped. In just four years, they became a 1M sq. ft. multi-node warehouse network.
“What I want out of a WMS as a CEO is to not have to worry about it. I want reliability and predictability. Deposco has given me that peace of mind.” – Phil Moldavski, Co-Founder
Stop paying for performance with extra headcount
Labor remains the highest operating cost, consuming 50-70% of a company’s warehouse budget. When systems struggle, the instinct is to add people. That’s expensive and doesn’t scale—doubling staff rarely doubles output—especially not in the near term, when you are feeling the most pain.
The gap between NetSuite ERP’s built-in warehouse tools and a purpose-built WMS for NetSuite shows up fast at volume. One key example is “license plating”—tracking inventory at carton and pallet levels. Without it, teams pick items one at a time instead of moving logical groups. That single limitation drives labor costs through the roof.
The numbers tell the story
Operations on modern WMS software often achieve the same throughput with a fraction of the staff. At Deposco, we’ve seen 30-person teams replaced by six for identical volume.
- ITB Fulfillment shipped 9x more packages in Year One with the same team.
- Educational Development Corp. went from three shifts to two while pushing 10,000+ orders per shift, cutting fulfillment costs by 77%.
Peak seasons compound the problem
User-based pricing means adding temporary workers, which often requires buying licenses that sit unused most of the year. Deposco flips this with options priced by location, not by user or volume. No penalty for growth or peak season staffing.
In addition, intuitive mobile interfaces get new hires productive in about 15 minutes. Most pickers hit their daily goals within an hour on Day 1, bringing ultimate control and air coverage to your peak season.
After implementing Deposco with NetSuite, Plant Therapy saw record-breaking hourly pick rates alongside industry-best accuracy. New pickers onboard quickly with most hitting their daily goal within an hour on Day 1.
Handle high volumes without choking your ERP
Every order, line item, inventory adjustment, and shipping confirmation counts. Heavy kitting multiplies this: one kit sale can generate multiple transactions. As counts grow, you may hit performance challenges or face tier upgrades.
Furthermore, when warehouse functions run inside your ERP, they compete with financial processing for the same resources. Both slow down.
Deposco solves this by handling operational volume—orders, allocation, warehouse processing, shipping—in its own environment, synced perfectly with core financial applications. Then you have NetSuite there to ensure reports get generated quickly and month-end close happens on-schedule.
Let NetSuite be the scorekeeper
NetSuite bundles inventory and order management into the base subscription—it looks “free.” But advanced allocation (deciding which inventory fulfills which orders from which locations) often requires add-ons with volume-based pricing. These costs creep up as you grow.
Move complexity out
Beyond licensing, complex logic inside NetSuite means custom code, specialized workflows, and ongoing maintenance. You’re asking your accountant to also ship your packages; it wasn’t purpose-built for both those tasks. Each fulfillment customization consumes processing power and creates technical debt.
Advanced allocation, multi-location fulfillment, bundling, and MHE warehouse automation solutions run where they belong—in a platform dedicated to warehouse operations. NetSuite stays the financial “scorekeeper” without bearing the operational load.
Build a foundation you won’t outgrow
Running NetSuite and Deposco together means you can scale from single warehouses to complex multi-site networks without changing platforms every few years. The system handling 10,000 daily orders handles 100,000 without forcing another frantic search or budget surprises.
Implementation typically hits go-live in 82 days on average—and 97% land on time and on budget.
National Roper’s Supply started shipping the same day they went live, something their team had never experienced with any other system.
Financial excellence meets fulfillment mastery
Successful NetSuite customers recognize that great finance and great fulfillment require different tools. NetSuite handles accounting, compliance, and reporting. Deposco handles warehouse efficiency, labor optimization, and scalability. Together, they deliver results neither achieves alone.
Adding Deposco doesn’t diminish your NetSuite investment—it protects and extends it. You gain capabilities that transform fulfillment from cost center to competitive advantage. And you build a foundation that scales with your ambitions instead of constraining them.
