Many manufacturers operate across multiple warehouses or production sites. Legacy systems and spreadsheets make it hard to know what’s available—and where.
NetSuite solves this by offering real-time, centralized inventory visibility, including:
Live updates on stock levels, reorder points, and safety stock
Inventory tracking across multiple locations, bins, and subsidiaries
Drill-down reports on inventory aging and usage history
Support for serialized, lot-tracked, and perishable goods
This clarity helps you avoid stockouts, reduce excess, and plan smarter.
Manual inventory planning is time-consuming and error-prone. NetSuite automates the process based on real-time demand signals and historical data.
Features include:
Demand-based reorder points
Forecasting using historical sales and production trends
Auto-generated purchase and transfer orders
Custom reorder rules based on lead time and supplier performance
These tools reduce guesswork, free up working capital, and ensure you always have what you need—without overstocking.
Inventory shouldn’t operate in a vacuum. NetSuite integrates inventory with production planning, procurement, and financials, so data flows automatically across departments.
When production schedules are updated, NetSuite automatically adjusts material requirements. When purchase orders are received, stock levels update in real time. This tight integration eliminates manual entry and costly delays.
NetSuite supports warehouse automation tools to streamline picking, packing, and receiving:
Bin-level tracking and location assignment
Barcode scanning and mobile device support
Optimized picking routes and fulfillment priorities
Real-time transaction logging
These features reduce labor costs, improve order accuracy, and speed up operations on the warehouse floor.
Inventory chaos often results from blind spots. NetSuite gives you proactive control with:
Customizable dashboards showing stock turns, inventory value, and service levels
Alerts for low stock, aging inventory, or late POs
Role-based views for warehouse managers, buyers, and executives
Drill-down capability for root cause analysis
This ensures you can act before small issues escalate into major disruptions.
