NetSuite, Configured for the Shop Floor
Our iQ CPQ configurator handles complex products for 700+ manufacturers. Our consultants have built work orders, not just read about them.
Manufacturing gets fixed on the floor, not in the module list.
Production, quoting, inventory, and the implementation itself are where mid-market manufacturers lose the most time. Here's what changes in each when NetSuite is built around how the work actually moves.
- PRODUCTION
The floor and the ERP disagree.
Schedules live in spreadsheets and WIP is tracked by hand, so a delivery date means a walk to the floor.
How We Solve ItA tablet on the line captures every operation as it happens, with work-order routing, WIP, and capacity scheduling on Gantt views.
- QUOTING
Configured products take days to quote.
Engineers build quotes in Excel, and pricing errors don't surface until the order hits production.
How We Solve ItiQ CPQ quotes configured products in minutes — a rules-driven configurator 700+ manufacturers use, native to both NetSuite and Salesforce.
- INVENTORY
MRP is running on stale numbers.
Raw materials sit in one system, finished goods in another, and WIP in nobody's.
How We Solve ItOne live inventory across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods, with demand-driven MRP and multi-location DRP behind it.
- THE BUILD
The last ERP project is why you're wary.
You've outgrown QuickBooks, but an 18-month implementation that blows the budget isn't an upgrade.
How We Solve ItLUXSmart adapts six phases to manufacturing complexity — core financials in about three months, manufacturing with integrations in three to nine.
No templates. We start where the work happens.
Our consultants have built work orders, not just read about them. We scope the build against your routings, your BOMs, and your quoting rules — then the same senior team runs it through go-live.
A 30-minute review of how your floor actually runs. No pitch.

Before You Choose a Manufacturing NetSuite Partner
The main options are Work Orders & Assemblies for mid-market production, WIP & Routing for growing operations, and Advanced Manufacturing for complex or enterprise needs. Working with a partner who knows the difference saves you months — we'll recommend the right module on the first call.
Yes. NetSuite is purpose-built for mid-market manufacturers, not financials with a manufacturing add-on bolted on. The proof is in the usage — 700+ manufacturers run iQ CPQ, with real-time shop-floor data and MRP on live data.
Advanced Manufacturing is the most feature-rich module: finite capacity scheduling, advanced work-order management, and a shop-floor tablet application. It's best for companies that need detailed control over every production step.
Yes. MRP uses demand data, BOMs, and lead times to determine production timing and stock levels, and it generates planned purchase orders and work orders automatically. Running MRP on live data means you're planning against what's actually happening, not last month's export.
iQ CPQ is a rules-driven configurator for complex, configured products, available as a NetSuite SuiteApp and a Salesforce app. It eliminates manual quoting in Excel and enforces pricing logic at the system level — 700+ manufacturers use it to quote configured products in minutes, not days.
Core financials go live in about 3 months; manufacturing with integrations and shop floor usually runs 3 to 9 months. The drivers are location count, BOM complexity, integration count, and data-migration scope — we'll give you a specific timeline during discovery.
Yes. You get global inventory visibility regardless of where products are in production, with vendor-location management and DRP for multi-location planning. Manage external production like it's your own — one view of inventory, regardless of who's building it.
Failed implementations are common, and they're fixable. We specialize in getting derailed manufacturing projects back on track — we'll assess where things stand and own the fix from there.
We needed a smarter and easier way to quote. Our previous quoting process — if you could call it that — was reliant on Excel and prone to errors.
