When NextFoods came to Nuage, they were struggling with the aftermath of a problematic NetSuite implementation. Despite having a powerful ERP system, they were operating like many companies stuck in the 20% zone—using NetSuite primarily as an accounting database while their finance team struggled with manual processes and disconnected workflows.
Their new finance and accounting staff, unfamiliar with NetSuite, were taking over a month to close monthly financials. Critical business decisions were delayed waiting for reports, and the team was drowning in spreadsheets trying to bridge gaps in their configuration.
Key Pain Points from Workpackets
Rather than just “fixing” problems, Nuage approached NextFoods’ challenges through our NetSuite Optimization Engine methodology. We began with a comprehensive assessment that revealed significant untapped potential in their existing NetSuite configuration.
Our team didn’t just provide support—we became strategic partners in transforming how NextFoods operates. Through our Stratus managed services, we assigned a dedicated team who learned their business inside and out, identifying opportunities to automate manual processes and create the real-time visibility that industry leaders rely on.
Our Approach
Measurable Improvements
“Their knowledge level is outstanding. We’ve accomplished more in three months with Nuage than we did in the entire year after our initial implementation. They don’t just fix problems—they show us how industry leaders use NetSuite and help us get there. Outstanding value compared to NetSuite’s ACS offering.”
“What made NextFoods special was their openness to transformation. They didn’t just want band-aid fixes—they wanted to operate like the industry leaders they’re becoming. By taking the time to understand their unique processes and growth trajectory, we were able to implement solutions that not only solved immediate problems but positioned them for scalable growth. Their monthly close improvement is just the beginning of their optimization journey.”
NextFoods continues to leverage Nuage’s Stratus services as their NetSuite Optimization Engine. With monthly financials now streamlined, the team is focusing on advanced inventory management and predictive analytics—capabilities that will further separate them from competitors still stuck in the 20% zone.
