Deep catalogs, contract pricing, customer bins, and value-added assembly on the ERP that runs the rest of the business.
An industrial and MRO distributor carries tens of thousands of SKUs, most of them slow movers, and a plant manager expects the right bearing, belt, or fitting today. Every major account has its own contract price file, many want their storeroom bins replenished for them, and some items only exist once your shop cuts, kits, or assembles them. Standard ERP turns each of those into a workaround. NetSuite, configured by Consule for contract pricing, customer inventory, and value-added work, makes them part of the order.
Contract pricing that holds at the counter. Customer price files, cost-plus rules, and quantity breaks are configured so the price on the order is the price in the contract, whether an inside rep quotes it or it arrives through punchout.
Customer inventory you actually manage. Storeroom bins are set up as locations with min and max levels, so replenishment orders come from usage and consigned stock stays on your books until it is used.
Value-added work scheduled like production. Kitting, hose assembly, and cut-to-length run as NetSuite work orders, and FactorySync schedules them against bench capacity so the promise date on a built item is a real date.
Catalog data sales can use. Item attributes, manufacturer cross-references, and approved substitutes are organized so the counter finds the part and its alternative in one search.
Everything else NetSuite already does. Multi-branch inventory and transfers, drop shipments, vendor rebates, RMAs, EDI, and financials that close on time.
Contract price, stock by branch, and lead time on one screen, so a quote goes back while the customer is still on the phone.
Orders carry the contracted price from the start, so invoices stop coming back for correction and rebilling.
Min and max levels on customer bins turn usage into replenishment orders, and the account stays with you.
Assemblies and kits are costed from actual components and labor, so the price of a built item covers what it takes to build.
Built for distributors who do more than ship
Consule’s FactorySync is a native NetSuite product for scheduling work orders against capacity, and Consule configures NetSuite for distributors whose value is in the service around the part. If you run on a legacy distribution system, spreadsheets, or a NetSuite account that never fit your contract pricing, we will walk through your own quotes and customer agreements with you.
Consule delivers this as a NetSuite implementation, a NetSuite optimization of a system you already run, or an integration project, with ongoing support under the CARE program.
These are the pages industrial and mro distributors usually read next.
Yes. Customer-specific item pricing, price levels, and quantity pricing are native, and Consule adds rules for cost-plus agreements and contract end dates where a customer’s terms need them.
Customer storerooms can be set up as locations or bins with reorder points, so replenishment is driven by recorded usage. Consigned stock stays in your inventory until the customer uses it and is invoiced.
Yes. Kits and assemblies are native item types, and assembly builds or work orders consume components and cost the finished item. FactorySync adds scheduling so value-added work is planned against the bench time you have.
Yes, through integration. Consule connects NetSuite to punchout and EDI channels so customer orders arrive as sales orders with the right contract prices and ship-to details.
