Integration Roadmap & Data Analysis
NeosAlpha conducted workshops with sales and customer management teams to understand business rules, mandatory fields, and subsidiary-specific logic.
Daily Order-to-Invoice Automation
Developed Boomi integration flows to automatically retrieve Shopify orders on a daily basis, validate whether customer records were new or existing, apply appropriate subsidiary and currency filters, to generate corresponding invoices in NetSuite without manual intervention.
Duplicate Detection & Validation Logic
Enhanced the integration process by implementing logic to identify duplicate Shopify orders, prevent the creation of duplicate invoices in NetSuite, and validate as well as update existing customer records when required to ensure data accuracy and consistency across systems.
Automated Inventory Synchronization
Designed automated stock update flows to extract accurate inventory data from NetSuite, validate item parameters for consistency and completeness, and update Shopify stock levels daily to ensure real-time inventory accuracy across platforms.

Multiple dry runs were conducted in sandbox environments before scheduling automated daily processes in production.
Monitoring & Logging Framework
Boomi logging and reporting capabilities were enabled for operational transparency and review.
