The Challenge

Essex’s customer service team couldn’t see inventory in real-time. Kitting was manual. Work orders required constant follow-up. Item labels in the warehouse did not reflect if material was already paid for by a customer. Invoicing and costing needed manual calculations.

The result? Production delays and a small operations team stretched too thin to scale.

What We Did

Nuage automated manual workflows and unlocked NetSuite’s manufacturing capabilities:

  • Automated kitting and material tracking that eliminates manual work order creation
  • Smart invoice and costing automation that calculates in real-time without spreadsheets
  • Custom dashboards showing production status and inventory levels instantly
  • Automated raw material transfers from warehouse to production floor
  • Automated finished good transfers from production floor to 3PL for storage
  • Sales order automation that routes work based on order type

The Results

  • Inventory visibility: Real-time tracking replaced manual counts and guesswork
  • Work order efficiency: Automated kitting streamlined production material flow
  • Team capacity: Manual data entry hours redirected to growth initiatives
  • Customer experience: Online ordering simplified order intake
  • Scalability: System ready to handle increased production volume
  • ROI: Manufacturing expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire

Customer Perspective

“Nuage NetSuite Consulting’s teammates have a hardworking, professional, and focused demeanor. The team was willing to research and dig into topics we brought up that they weren’t already familiar with. Their work has allowed us to achieve higher inventory visibility and streamline our processes for pulling work orders. They deliver on time and follow up frequently as needed.”
