ERP integration
NetSuite runs the business. Your floor should report into it.
NetSuite gives multi-entity manufacturers strong financial control. The weak link is usually the factory, where the real labour and material story is written on paper. SmartShopFloor closes that gap so NetSuite reflects what actually happened.
Growing, multi-site manufacturers who want NetSuite job costs built on real shop-floor actuals.
Is it a fit?
For teams who trust NetSuite but not the numbers going into it
- Job costs in NetSuite are based on estimates that are rarely revisited.
- Sites or business units run production differently, which makes reporting hard to compare.
- Leadership wants margin by job without waiting for month-end reconciliation.
Stays in Oracle NetSuite
- Financials and consolidation
- Customers, items and pricing
- Production order and costing records
SmartShopFloor adds
- Scheduling across the floor
- Operator time and material capture
- Stage-by-stage job progress
How it works
The Oracle NetSuite workflow, step by step
- Step 1
Quote drafted in NetSuite
Sales prepares the draft quote in NetSuite and sends it from NetSuite or SmartShopFloor.
- Step 2
Won becomes work
Once the sale is marked won, SmartShopFloor creates the production handover with its bill of materials and labour requirements.
- Step 3
Actuals report back
Timesheets, hourly or at shift end, plus consumed material and picking go back so NetSuite costing reflects reality.
- Step 4
Dispatch to draft invoice
Full dispatch prepares a draft invoice in NetSuite for your finance team to approve.
Scope for Oracle NetSuite. NetSuite configurations vary widely between businesses. Which records are updated, and how stage progress aligns with your production orders, is agreed during scoping and proven in UAT.
Why manufacturers connect Oracle NetSuite

FAQs
Oracle NetSuite integration questions
Does SmartShopFloor replace NetSuite manufacturing features?
No. NetSuite remains the system of record. SmartShopFloor handles scheduling and execution on the floor and keeps NetSuite informed.
How often do timesheets reach NetSuite?
Hourly or at the end of each shift, depending on what suits your operation and is agreed in scope.
Can it support more than one site?
Multi-site operations are a common reason NetSuite customers talk to us. How sites and entities are handled is agreed during scoping.
Will our NetSuite partner need to be involved?
Often it helps. We work alongside your partner where your environment needs it, and agree who owns what before go-live.
What happens if an invoice needs changing?
The invoice is a draft until your team approves it in NetSuite, so changes are made there before anything is sent.
