Answer a few questions about how your operation runs, and a consultant will contact you with the range and timeline for a project like yours.
Two manufacturers of the same size can be tens of thousands apart on implementation services, because one runs work orders against simple assemblies and the other runs formulas, lots and a warehouse with directed picking. The questions below follow the way we scope a project: a core build, then the work each part of your operation adds. Answer them and a consultant gets in touch to walk you through the services range and the timeline, with the assumptions behind both. The NetSuite subscription is quoted separately by Oracle. For the phases behind the numbers, read the NetSuite implementation guide or see how we run NetSuite implementation.
Ranges reflect typical Consule projects for manufacturers and distributors. They are an estimate, not a quote. Real numbers come out of a scoping session, and that session is free.
We quote a fixed fee for a defined scope and bill it against phase milestones, so payments track progress rather than hours logged. On complex projects we price the design phase first, then fix the build fee once the design is signed off. That protects both sides: you are not buying a number that was guessed before anyone looked at your BOMs, and we are not quoting blind.
Assemblies with a flat bill of materials are quick. Routings, work in process, backflushing, formulas and catch weight each add design decisions, test cycles and training. This is usually the single largest swing in a manufacturing project. Our manufacturing guide covers the choices involved.
Every connected system is its own small project: field mapping, error handling, retries and a test plan that covers the ugly cases. One clean ecommerce connection is not the same work as EDI with three trading partners who each read the specification differently.
A second legal entity adds intercompany setup, consolidation and its own testing. Multiple currencies and tax jurisdictions add more again.
Opening balances are straightforward. Two years of transactions is a project of its own. Customization lands the same way: a handful of scripted forms is routine, while custom records and heavy automation need design, documentation and regression testing at every NetSuite release.
Across the manufacturers and distributors we work with, three shapes come up again and again.
If your project does not fit any of them, that is normal, and it is what the scoping session is for. See how Stellar Snacks moved off QuickBooks for a real example, or browse the other implementations we have run.
Pick your scope above, then send it over. A consultant gets in touch with the services range, a phase by phase timeline, and what we would need to see to turn that range into a fixed price. A person, not an autoresponder. No newsletter, and no follow-up sequence.
