Absolute EMS Case Study: Transforming PCB Manufacturing with Oracle NetSuite ERP

Company Background

Absolute EMS, is a prominent leader in the PCB board and assembly industry, recognized for its adoption of “Assembly 4.0” standards. By leveraging the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and Advanced Analytics, Absolute EMS streamlines efficiencies, maintains rigorous standards in manufacturing, and delivers solutions to clients across medical, dental, robotics, and military-grade sectors.

 

Business Use Case

Absolute EMS, operating on Expandable ERP, faced significant operational limitations as their existing ERP was originally designed for “made-to-stock widgets” manufacturing, resulting in numerous manual workarounds that were unsuitable for their engineer-to-order processes.

Seeking an advanced and scalable ERP solution, Absolute EMS considered NetSuite to support its ambitious growth trajectory.

 

Two key drivers influenced their decision:
  • Robust supply chain management capabilities
  • Strong traceability of components and associated costs

 

Solution

Our Consule Solutions team, working closely with the Products West team, effectively demonstrated our profound understanding of Absolute EMS’s intricate manufacturing environment and delivered highly competitive pricing for Q4 FY25. Our commitment included an on-site engagement to solidify confidence and secure the partnership.

 

The tailored NetSuite solution included:
  • Products Standard with Manufacturing
  • Advanced Financials
  • Warehouse Management System (WMS)
  • Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
  • Bill Capture
  • Custom Integrations (AEGIS MES/CAD system)

 

The highlight of our offering was the seamless integration of NetSuite with the AEGIS CAD system, providing configurable Bill of Materials (BOM), Work-in-Progress (WIP) management, and advanced routings specifically designed for engineer-to-order environments.

Outcome

The focused and strategic collaboration between Consule Solutions and the Products West team successfully secured the Absolute EMS account. The solution addressed critical business needs, providing Absolute EMS with a robust, scalable ERP system uniquely tailored to their complex operational requirements.

Implementation highlights included:

AEGIS CAD Integration: Facilitated dynamic and accurate BOMs, WIP tracking, and routings, significantly reducing manual interventions and potential errors.

Enhanced Traceability: Provided comprehensive visibility into component tracking from procurement through production to delivery, ensuring strict compliance with regulatory requirements.

Streamlined PO Management: Automated procurement processes, reduced manual effort, improved accuracy, and enhanced vendor management capabilities.
