Finance Infrastructure for ManufacturersRun Production, Inventory, and True Cost per Unit on One System From the Shop Floor Up

A manufacturer lives on what it actually costs to make a product: materials, labor, machine time, and the work in progress moving through the factory floor. When production runs in one system and the financials in another, the real cost per unit stays a guess. Zanovoy implements NetSuite for manufacturers around MRP, work orders, routing, and production costing, then supports it as you scale output and add lines.

Where Manufacturers Get Stuck

Production Runs on the Floor, but True Cost per Unit Lives Nowhere

Most growing manufacturers run production scheduling and the shop floor in one place, and the financials in another. The two never reconcile, so what a product actually costs to make is an estimate right when margins matter most.

01

Production cost is an estimate

Materials, labor, and machine time flow through work in progress, but when that data sits outside the financials, cost per unit is calculated after the run, not tracked through it. By the time the real number is clear, the pricing decision is already made.

02

Material planning and the floor are disconnected

When demand, inventory, and production scheduling live in separate tools, material shortages stall the line and excess stock ties up cash. The signal that should drive purchasing arrives late, if it arrives at all.

03

Inventory, WIP, and finished goods don't tie to the books

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods each move on their own, and when they are tracked apart from the general ledger, the balance sheet and the warehouse disagree. Audit season turns that disagreement into a scramble.

The Right Platform for a Production Operation

We Build Around Manufacturing Execution and Production Cost, Not a Finance-Only Ledger

We do not hand manufacturers a flat list of applications, and we do not pretend that a finance-only tool can run the shop floor. We map how you plan, build, and cost your product, then build the stack around the system that fits.

NetSuite for Manufacturing

NetSuite unifies MRP, work orders, routing, and WIP tracking into a single general ledger and inventory platform. It captures material, labor, and machine costs in real time, creating an audit-ready anchor from the initial material requirement to the costed, finished unit on the financial statement.

Coupa for Direct Procurement

Coupa centralizes procurement and routes approvals for raw materials, components, and indirect spend, enforcing contract compliance at the point of commitment. For manufacturers, this eliminates hidden costs and provides real-time visibility into supplier performance before spend hits the ledger.

Explore Coupa

Avalara for Tax

Avalara automates transaction and sales-tax calculation, compliance, and reporting across all jurisdictions, updating in real time as product categories and state rules change. For growing manufacturers, it eliminates manual tax liabilities and audit exposure at quarter close.

Explore Avalara

FinQuery for Lease Accounting

Manufacturers carry material leases across facilities, plants, and equipment. FinQuery manages that portfolio under ASC 842, tracking obligations and generating the schedules and disclosures auditors expect, so a large and changing set of leases stays compliant without manual tracking.

Explore FinQuery

Tableau for Production Analytics

For production and operational analytics, Tableau reads from NetSuite so leadership sees throughput, yield, and cost trends without exporting data by hand. It turns live shop-floor and financial data into the dashboards that show where cost and capacity are actually moving.

Why Manufacturers Work With Us

Finance-Led Advisors Who Understand Production Cost and the Shop Floor

Most IT firms can stand up a database, but do not understand work-in-progress costing, routing, or why true cost per unit is the number that determines whether a manufacturing business is healthy. Our teams come from accounting and systems backgrounds and approach your operation from a finance perspective.

01

Built Around Your Production Model, Not a Generic Chart of Accounts

We configure BOMs, work orders, routing, and costing to match how you actually manufacture, so the system fits one production line today and still holds across plants and product families.

02

Manufacturing Execution and Costing Expertise

MRP, work-in-progress tracking, routing, and production costing are the core of the work here, not a generic ERP rollout with a manufacturing module switched on at the end.

03

Integration Across the Stack

We connect suppliers, shop-floor systems, spending, tax, lease, and analytics tools to NetSuite through direct integrations, so the data moves on its own, and production cost is visible without a manual gathering.

04

Audit Readiness From Day One

We set up clean records and traceable inventory, WIP, and revenue from the first month, so a lender request, a board review, or a diligence round is a query, not a fire drill.

05

One Team Through Selection, Build, and Support

The people who advise on the platform are the people who implement it and the people who support it afterward.

How the Engagement Runs

True Cost per Unit You Can See as Production Runs, Not After

 01. Platform Selection & Fit

We map how you plan, build, and cost your product, then confirm the right configuration, including an honest read on whether NetSuite Manufacturing fits or you are genuinely at the enterprise scale where Fusion belongs. You get a requirements document and a decision rationale.

 02. Implementation & Customization

We build the BOMs, work orders, routing, MRP, costing, and chart of accounts around how you actually manufacture, and migrate clean data off your prior systems.

 03. Integration

We connect suppliers, shop-floor systems, spend, tax, and analytics tools to NetSuite through direct integrations, so production and material data flow automatically instead of through manual entry.

 04. Managed Services & Support

After go-live we support the monthly close, tune production and costing configuration as you add lines and plants, and manage integrations so a lean finance team does not need to hire a dedicated NetSuite admin.

Bring your current setup. We'll map an honest path from where you are.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers. No sales language.
We're a mid-market manufacturer. Is NetSuite the right tier, or do we need something bigger?
For most mid-market manufacturers, NetSuite Manufacturing is the fit: it runs MRP, work orders, routing, and production costing without the cost and timeline of a large-enterprise platform. Oracle Fusion is the heavier tier, and it earns its place only at genuine large-enterprise scale, typically $500M and up, with the appetite for a multi-year implementation. We will tell you honestly which tier you actually need rather than oversizing or undersizing the platform.
We can't see true cost per unit until after a run. How does this fix that?
By bringing materials, labor, machine time, and work in progress into the same system as inventory and the financials, NetSuite tracks cost through production rather than estimating it afterward. Cost per unit builds up as the work order moves, so you see margin while you can still act on pricing and purchasing. We configure the costing model to match how your production actually flows.
Can NetSuite handle MRP, work orders, and routing for our production?
Yes. NetSuite Manufacturing handles material requirements planning, work orders, routing, and work-in-progress tracking natively within one system, which is the core reason it fits a manufacturer over a finance-only or distribution-only tool. We set up the production structure to match how you actually build, so the shop floor and the financials come from the same source.
What does post-implementation support cover?
Monthly close support, configuration tuning as you add production lines, plants, and product families, and integration management across suppliers, shop-floor systems, spend, and tax. It is built for lean finance teams that want NetSuite expertise on call rather than a full-time internal hire, so the system keeps pace as production scales.
