Oracle NetSuite is a cloud-based ERP software that offers a wide range of features and functionalities to meet the needs of different types of businesses. For manufacturing businesses, NetSuite provides solutions that can help streamline processes, manage inventory levels, improve supply chain management and optimize production processes.
NetSuite's manufacturing solutions come with a range of key features that help companies improve their operations.

Compared to other manufacturing software solutions, NetSuite stands out for its ability to integrate all these functionalities into a single platform, alongside other core functionality such as accounting and CRM, making it easier for companies to manage their operations.
Inventory management is crucial for manufacturing businesses, as it helps them keep track of their inventory levels and avoid overstocking or stock shortages. NetSuite's inventory management solution allows companies to manage their inventory levels in real-time, making it easier for them to make informed decisions. The solution also integrates with other functionalities, such as supply chain management and work order management, to provide a comprehensive view of the manufacturing process from start to finish.
NetSuite also supports the management of multiple warehouse locations, meaning that companies can manage their inventory across different sites and locations. This is particularly helpful for larger manufacturing businesses with multiple warehouses on the same site, or on a national or global level.
Supply chain management is an essential part of any manufacturing business, and NetSuite provides a comprehensive solution that helps companies streamline the process. The solution allows manufacturers to track orders, view supplier information, and monitor stock levels from a single dashboard. This makes it easier for companies to manage their supply chains more efficiently and reduce costs associated with inefficient processes.
Efficient supply chain management is essential for manufacturing businesses, as it helps them improve delivery times and increase customer satisfaction. NetSuite's supply chain management solution provides companies with the tools they need to manage their supply chain operations, including demand planning and supplier management. With NetSuite's solution, manufacturing businesses can improve their supply chain operations and achieve controlled growth.
Bill of materials (BOM) management and work order management are another two crucial functionalities for manufacturing businesses, as they help them keep track of their production planning processes and ensure that they are producing products to the highest quality standards.
NetSuite's BOM and work order management solution provides companies with the tools they need to manage these processes, including real-time work order status reporting, production tracking, and quality control. The solution also allows companies to set multiple levels of approval for work orders, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken before the next stage of production begins.
NetSuite's WIP & Routing solution provides companies with the tools they need to manage jobs as they progress through various operations on the shop floor. The solution includes features such as job costing, shop floor performance monitoring and real-time analytics, allowing companies to track the performance of their production processes and make iterative process improvements.
NetSuite's WIP & Routing solution can also be accessed on a mobile device, giving you the ability to digitize your shop floor, eliminate paper-based work orders and minimize the amount of administration required to get accurate job profitability reporting, including tracking material costs and labor hours.
