Without WMS integrations for NetSuite, pureplay supply chain applications in NetSuite can no longer keep up with current demand. Much less identify channels for new growth. 

Inventory management in NetSuite ERP alone is not enough in the age where volume and complexities have put warehouse teams in peak season mode every day, all year long. 

Today, forward-thinking companies are investing in a WMS solution that can connect to their NetSuite ERP for industry-leading business management applications, creating a fully optimized fulfillment operation while building agility for future changes.

Today let’s look at the challenges of NetSuite inventory management and how a complementary NetSuite WMS lets you easily scale your business without ever leaving the systems you already use – plus add the supply chain applications you’ll need in the future. Without budget surprises or having to switch platforms, ever.

Need a 101 refresher? Learn what is a warehouse management system

NetSuite is for financial and inventory tracking

NetSuite’s inventory management modules are informative, but not directional or timely in terms of optimizing decisions in the warehouse. These suites have inventory management capabilities similar to a WMS, but are reactive, versus proactive in guiding your warehouse staff. 

A specialized WMS like Deposco connects seamlessly to NetSuite ERP to significantly boost labor productivity, accuracy, savings, customer experiences, and freedom to add modern capabilities necessary to flex with the wild fluctuations of today’s supply chains.

Can’t my ERP handle inventory management without a WMS?

Ten years ago, yes. Growth today requires knowing the difference between managing inventory in NetSuite ERP and when to buy a WMS.

Built as more of financial suite to inform the business, NetSuite gives CFOs data points to make high-level accounting and planning decisions. It can report inventory data as it relates to accounting but lacks advanced fulfillment capabilities of a modern warehouse management system.

As volume and complexities increase, you’ll end up turning away orders because you’re spending more on managing the logistics of inventory fulfillment and putting out customer service fires than growing the business. 

A truly scalable WMS that pairs perfectly with NetSuite

A modern WMS solution, on the other hand, integrates with NetSuite to unify all your inventory operations, building on your NetSuite investment in a way that you can trust and afford. No matter what technology you need to add, or when.

Deposco’s WMS for NetSuite works beautifully to streamline all your fulfillment operations within the context of the larger picture. Day-to-day inventory management activities happen on a deeper scale, providing efficient workflows, automated insights, and recommendations designed for growth at scale. 

The real benefit of a modern NetSuite WMS is that you’ll never outgrow it. Deposco’s WMS was not pieced together from technologies born out of acquisitions and mergers. 

We were smart when we built our WMS on a singular codebase with pre-built WMS integrations… Not just for NetSuite, but for 150+ other supply chain applications you may need now or later. Simply add what you need when you need it. No custom coding, consultants, or internal IT experts required means fast time-to-value.

How NetSuite integrations work

A WMS NetSuite integration partner like Deposco brings everything touching your inventory investment into one clear, instant view across the business. Within a modern, easy-to-use interface and near-zero lag data sync.

  • Paperless pick-pack-ship 
  • System-directives with native RF devices and barcode scanning 
  • Real-time visibility with +99% order accuracy ̀
