Introduction

A leading e-commerce business struggled to maintain accurate and real-time inventory data due to the use of a third-party Warehouse Management System (WMS).
The WMS was not integrated with their NetSuite ERP, creating data silos and inefficiencies in inventory management and order processing. 

Challenges

The client faced several challenges:
  • Inventory Discrepancies: Due to lack of integration, there were frequent stockouts and overstocking issues, causing inefficiencies in the supply chain.
  • Manual Processes: Inventory updates had to be done manually, which consumed significant time and led to errors.
  • Slow Order Fulfillment: Inefficiencies in inventory tracking led to slower order fulfillment and longer delivery times, impacting customer satisfaction. 

Approach

We implemented a seamless integration between the client’s WMS and NetSuite to enable real-time inventory tracking, order processing, and shipping status updates.

Solution Implementation:

1.Real-Time Inventory Updates: The integration allowed for accurate and up-to-date inventory levels in NetSuite, preventing stock outs and overstocking.
2.Automated Order Fulfillment: The system automatically synchronized order data between the WMS and NetSuite, ensuring faster processing.
3.Data Reconciliation: We developed processes to minimize the need for manual reconciliation, saving time and reducing errors. 

Result

  • Increased Inventory Accuracy: Inventory accuracy improved by 30%, reducing costly errors and improving stock management.
  • Faster Fulfillment: Order processing time was cut in half, leading to faster delivery and improved customer satisfaction.
  • Operational Efficiency: The integration of the WMS and NetSuite reduced manual intervention, streamlined workflows, and improved overall operational efficiency. 

 

Conclusion

The integration of the third-party WMS with NetSuite alleviated the client’s inventory issues, streamlined order processing, and eliminated manual errors. As a result, inventory accuracy improved by 30%, order fulfillment time was reduced by half, and operational efficiency increased dramatically. This seamless integration improved supply chain management while also increasing customer satisfaction through faster, more dependable delivery. A well-executed WMS-ERP connection is a proven option for e-commerce enterprises dealing with separated systems to improve efficiency and growth.
