NetSuite runs your business on one set of numbers. Formula production is where a second set starts creeping in.

Why formula-driven manufacturers run on NetSuite

That single set of numbers is why food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, and
cosmetic manufacturers put production on NetSuite. Finance, inventory, and the plant
floor all work from it, so what the plant records is what the CFO reports.

Where formula production diverges from discrete
assembly

But formula production isn’t discrete assembly. NetSuite’s core manufacturing is built
around the discrete model: a fixed quantity of a part, from a fixed bill of materials, one
output, the same way every time. A strong foundation for the rest of the business.

Formula production asks for more. You run batches off a master recipe, not a fixed bill
of materials. You buy and sell items by weight. One run yields more than one product.
And the recipe changes on the floor when a component runs short.

Until those needs live in NetSuite, they get tracked on the side. That is the second set
of numbers creeping in: batch yields, catch-weights, and co-product costs in
spreadsheets instead of the system. Left there, that gap is where teams start reaching
for a separate system built for formula production.

How ProShop closes the gap inside NetSuite

But a separate system just starts a third set of numbers. You extend NetSuite instead.
Consule Solutions’ ProShop provides the formula-specific layer, on the same work-in-process
and routing you already run:

• Batch work orders created in bulk from a single formula master
• Catch-weight accuracy across sales, purchasing, and production
• Multi-output costing for co-products and by-products
• Recipe flexibility on the floor without touching the master formula
• Component-level yield, variance, and scrap as the run happens

All native. Not a bolt-on.

With that layer in place, the work that used to live in spreadsheets stays in the system.
Inventory ties out because catch-weight is exact. Cost reflects reality because every
output is costed and actual yield is captured. The plant’s numbers and finance’s
numbers match. One system, one set of numbers.
