Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is an integral system for managing business processes. NetSuite is the top ERP platform and offers a comprehensive suite of tools to manage operations across finance, inventory, and customer relationships. But when NetSuite operates in isolation, it is limited and creates data silos that can hinder organizational growth. 

Boomi is the solution to bridge the gap between NetSuite and other applications. This iPaaS connects different systems and ensures a unified view of information across them. Boomi NetSuite Integration enhances the capabilities of the ERP and maximizes your investment in efficient operations.

Learn how Boomi NetSuite Integration simplifies system integration, automates workflows, and empowers businesses with real-time insights. 

Why Integrate NetSuite?

NetSuite is a robust and reliable ERP solution. Leveraging modern iPaaS solutions like Boomi to connect NetSuite ERP with other systems, such as CRM, e-commerce platforms, and finance systems, empowers the organization’s operations and supports informed decision-making. Integration of NetSuite maximizes its potential as an ERP and ensures seamless data flow across the system. 

Challenges when NetSuite is working in isolation:

1. Increase Complexity and Maintenance Cost

Disparate systems and separate setups required more configuration and maintenance, making the process time- and resource-intensive. Each system requires separate software licenses, IT support, and system compatibility, making it complex to handle and increasing investment demands.  

2. Data Silos and Inaccuracy

As the information is not consolidated, it leads to data inconsistency, inaccurate reporting, and poor decision-making. Also, manual data entry increases the risk of errors and duplicate records, compromising the reporting and analytics. 

3. Limited Visibility

Because every system stores different data, a limited view of information hinders your ability to generate accurate, timely reports and performance metrics and to identify patterns. Without a unified view, you might fail to make informed decisions or proactively identify errors.

4. Inefficient Workflows

When employees don’t have a unified view of data and they have to switch between systems to access the updated information, it affects workflow efficiency. This manual effort is time-consuming and error-prone when reconciling data across different systems.

5. Poor Customer Experience

When NetSuite ERP is not connected to other systems like CRM and marketing automation, your marketing team will fail to personalize the customer experience.

Checklist For Boomi NetSuite Integration

To ensure successful NetSuite Integration with Boomi, prepare a well-defined checklist. 

Step-by-Step Boomi NetSuite Integration Guide

Step 1. Connect NetSuite with Boomi

• First, set up the Boomi Account and obtain credentials to access NetSuite.
• Use the Boomi NetSuite Connector to connect Boomi to your NetSuite account (either user credentials or token-based authentication).
• Remember that the NetSuite connection represents a single NetSuite account, including sign-in credentials. You are allowed to connect one NetSuite account at a time. 

Step 2. Connect With Other Systems

• If you want to connect Boomi with other systems, you can either use a dedicated Boomi Connector or create a custom connector using Boomi’s API. 
• Boomi offers more than 100 connectors for applications such as Salesforce and SAP, along with a range of technology-specific connectors that support protocols including SOAP, REST, JDBC, and FTP. 
• If your app has connectors, you need to provide configuration data to connect it to Boomi. If there is no connector, we can help you create a custom connector using Boomi’s API. 
• The data might vary across applications and credentials, but it usually includes authentication credentials, an endpoint URL, and connection details. 

Step 3. Data Mapping

• After Boomi NetSuite connectors are configured, use the Boomi platform to design data flow and map the systems. 
• Use a drag-and-drop interface to create maps between different data formats, allowing you to map fields from one system to fields in another system. 
• Sometimes, you need to define the transformation logic to manipulate the data as it moves between the source and target systems. This includes data validation, transformation, or enrichment. 
• Leverage the other Boomi tools, such as data cleansing, filtering, and formatting. 

Step 4. Testing and Deployment

• After data mapping, test whether the Boomi NetSuite integration is working as expected. 
• Run a test process in Boomi and verify whether the transferred data between systems is correct. 
• If there is any issue, troubleshoot and make the required adjustments in the integration. 
• After resolving all issues, your integration is ready to be deployed to the production environment for day-to-day operations. 

What Data Can Be Exchanged Through the Boomi NetSuite Integration?

Boomi integration with NetSuite enables critical business information to move freely and accurately across multiple systems. 

1. Sales Orders

Automates the flow of sales orders from front-end channels like e-commerce, POS systems, mobile apps, etc., directly into your NetSuite ERP. It includes order details such as customer, product, quantity, pricing, shipping information, and order status.

2. Customer Information

Boomi syncs customer records between NetSuite and other systems, such as marketing tools, e-commerce storefronts, and CRM platforms, so your team can work from a single source of truth for customer information. 

3. Inventory and Stock Levels

When businesses use NetSuite primarily for ERP, Boomi enables real-time updates of stock levels, inventory movements, warehouse transactions, and availability status into and out of NetSuite. 

4. Invoices and Payments

Financial and transactional data often reside in NetSuite, but sometimes front-end sales and billing systems generate invoices before the ERP system sees them. Boomi NetSuite Integration automatically pushes invoicing details, payment events, refund/cancellation statuses, and settlement data into NetSuite.
