ERP system for manufacturing companies
Delivering quality in manufacturing takes more than great products. It also requires full control, clear visibility, and an ERP system that truly supports the entire business – from production to finance.
With NetSuite and our expertise, you get a system that grows with you and makes your operations smarter and more profitable.
ERP for manufacturing with full process support
Manufacturing companies often operate with complex workflows where planning, production, inventory, and finance need to work closely together. When information is scattered across multiple systems, it becomes difficult to plan accurately, track costs, and make fast, informed decisions.
NetSuite Manufacturing is an add-on module within NetSuite’s cloud-based ERP system that brings the entire manufacturing process into one unified platform – from material requirements and production orders to delivery and financial tracking.
The module suits companies of all sizes and is especially effective for businesses involved in discrete manufacturing, assembly, and configurable products – whether you work with make-to-order, series, or batch production. You get a single system for production planning, material flows, capacity, traceability, and reporting – with real-time data updates.
Smart inventory management
Get full visibility into stock levels, purchasing, and material requirements – without manual work.
Accurate cost control
View profitability per order or product instantly – no need for Excel reports.
Scalable ERP system
Easily add new production units or entities – the system grows with you.
Everyday value for manufacturing companies
NetSuite makes a real difference for everyone working close to production. By connecting planning, inventory, purchasing, and reporting, it becomes easier to plan ahead, manage changes, and avoid errors.
Here are some examples of how key operational roles benefit in their daily work:
- Production Manager or Supervisor
Gains better visibility into capacity, production orders, and priorities. - Purchasing Manager
Gets a clearer view of material requirements and improved foresight in purchase planning. - Warehouse or Logistics Manager

A NetSuite implementation always begins with a pre-sales and discovery phase, where the customer’s needs are mapped and analyzed to create the right conditions for a successful rollout. The actual implementation begins only once the scope, goals, and solution are clearly defined.
The process typically follows these steps:
Pre-sales and needs analysis
In the pre-sales phase, the company’s needs, goals, and high-level processes are mapped. The purpose is to understand which NetSuite modules should be included, how the solution will be used, whether any customizations are needed, and what the overall implementation scope will be. This provides a clear decision-making foundation and realistic expectations ahead of project start.
Pre-study and detailed requirements
Once the decision is made, the analysis continues in a workshop phase where processes, requirements, and priorities are clarified in preparation for configuration and design.
Configuration and solution design
NetSuite is configured based on the defined scope, with a focus on standard functionality, best practices, and long-term sustainability.
Integrations and data migration
Relevant integrations are set up and data is migrated to NetSuite in a controlled and quality-assured manner.
Testing and quality assurance
The solution is tested together with the business to ensure that processes, integrations, and reports function as expected.
Training and go-live preparation
Users are trained in their roles, and the organization is prepared for the transition to the new system.
Go-live
NetSuite goes live and becomes the company’s operational ERP system.
Hyper Care period
Following go-live, we remain close to the organization to support users as they get started in NetSuite. We quickly resolve any missed items, answer questions, and ensure a secure and stable start in the new environment.
Customer Care (optional)
After go-live and the Hyper Care period, the customer may continue with SuiteCorner’s Customer Care offering – a post-implementation service model designed to ensure ongoing support, continuous improvement, further development, and optimization as business needs evolve.
SuiteCorner’s role
SuiteCorner is involved from the first conversation to the finished solution. We ensure that pre-sales, implementation, and ongoing development are aligned – so that NetSuite is delivered with the right scope, the right modules, and maximum business value.
After go-live, there is often a need for extra support as users begin working with NetSuite in their day-to-day operations. Questions, adjustments, and improvement needs usually become clearer once the system is used in practice. The level of support required varies between companies and depends on the complexity of the business, the scale of the implementation, the pace of change, and how involved internal resources have been during the project.
Hyper Care period
Immediately following go-live, SuiteCorner offers a Hyper Care period that typically lasts from a few days up to 2–3 weeks. During this time, we stay close to the organization to support users as they get started in NetSuite, answer questions, and quickly assist if anything has been missed or needs adjusting. The goal is to ensure a secure and stable start in the new environment.
Customer Care – ongoing support and continuous improvement
After the Hyper Care period, customers can optionally continue with SuiteCorner’s Customer Care. This is our service model for ongoing support, improvement, and further development of your NetSuite solution. Customer Care enables a structured approach to managing changes, optimizations, and evolving needs as your business grows.

SuiteCorner’s role
SuiteCorner tailors support and ongoing management to each customer’s needs. Some organizations require only limited assistance after go-live, while others choose long-term collaboration. Regardless of the approach, we ensure that NetSuite continues to support the business efficiently and sustainably.
