Integrating Wayfair and NetSuite with Celigo: A Conveniently Efficient Solution
In today's fast-paced business environment, data integration has become crucial for companies to efficiently manage their operations. Wayfair, the e-commerce giant, and NetSuite, the cloud-based ERP solution, are two popular platforms that many businesses rely on for their daily operations. However, with data residing in different systems, it can become a tedious and time-consuming task to ensure that both systems are up-to-date and in sync.

In this blog, we will explore how Celigo has been used by our FMT team to build a data integration between Wayfair and NetSuite, and the benefits it provides to businesses.

Solution Demo: Automated Order-to-Delivery Process with NetSuite
The order-to-delivery process is full of steps and – for many suppliers – manual tasks. But how can you streamline the process, and what would that look like? We’ve spoken with countless suppliers throughout the years, and while their businesses may vary, the major challenges they face are similar. Common Challenges Suppliers Experience Lack of integration across multiple trading partners. Plus, each partner may have specific requirements, adding more manual processes to your workload. Lack of real-time inventory visibility. Have you ever sold something that wasn’t actually available? Lack of real-time data is often at the root of negative client experiences. Managing peak season order volume. More orders are great, as long as you can deliver packages on time during peak season and high-volume events. Advanced ship notice (ASN) requirements. Has a client ever canceled an order because she thought it hadn’t been shipped? The cost of not sending the […]
How to Enable Non-G/L Changes to Closed Periods in NetSuite
Here’s a quick tip on how to enable non-G/L changes to closed periods in NetSuite! How do closed periods work in NetSuite? Once an accounting period is closed, you are unable to edit any transactions within that closed period. The ‘Edit’ button on these closed period transactions won’t show, and you will instead see a lock icon next to the transaction number to designate that it is in a closed period. Why would you want to enable non-G/L changes to closed periods in NetSuite? Perhaps you want to add a memo or edit a PO number without having to credit and reissue invoices. Additionally, some ISV solutions require this setting in order to sync their data with locked and closed periods. How do you enable the feature in NetSuite? You’ll have to enable a setting on the Manage Accounting Period page. To enable the editing of transactions within closed periods […]
How to Empower Your Chief Procurement Officer
2020 has been a year like no other in recent history, and the US manufacturing industry has felt the impact.

In what could become a permanent change for the industry, most manufacturing leaders are reevaluating the role of their workforce. One way to enhance digital capabilities in the workforce is to develop an ecosystem comprised of today’s top manufacturing talent (like your Chief Procurement Officer, or CPO) built on the back of a world-class Customer Relationship Management system. Data-Driven Decisions There are a few common themes we are seeing more and more in the manufacturing world nowadays. The need for agility and accuracy in data management, customer centricity and the ability to make data-driven decisions seems to have taken over and remodeled company cultures. Furthermore, […]
The Importance of Data in Manufacturing
In a world where data consolidation and analysis are becoming ever more vital to business, it can be difficult to know how to best set up your organization’s data strategy to meet future demands. Furthermore, in the business of manufacturing, where there are so many proverbial moving parts and areas to focus on, it can be challenging to note the advantages and cost savings associated with a coherent data strategy when compared to other areas of the organization (i.e. sales, operations, research and development, procurement, quality assurance, etc.). However, having access to well-defined and accurate data can lead to insights and cost savings that propel a manufacturer to the next level of their business as well as outperform competitors, for several simple and powerful reasons cited by Kevin Snook, author of Make It Right: 5 Steps to Align Your Manufacturing Business from the Frontline to the Bottom Line.
