Principles
Assessment
ERP represents 70% planning, architecture, data cleanup, and 30% implementation. Ensuring preparation methodology and correct qualification of problems and solutions in sequence is key to straightforward the process. I will guide you to stay focused on the key aspects of the implementation assuring solid navigation to solutions.
Stakeholder Management
I create tailored solution roadmaps to balance between stakeholder interests, business goals, and organizational success, adding extra alignment and direction, ensuring that roadmaps represent stakeholders’ visions while hitting company goals. With or without an implementation partner!
Dedication
Budgets and time pressures of “hours-driven” NetSuite implementations can sometimes leave gaps and unadopted features, affecting users due to the urgency to deliver “as is.” Dedication is what is needed to enhance the maturity level of under-delivered, under-trained, and under-adopted NetSuite instances to make them useful, ensuring meaningful adoption for users and stakeholders.
Common sense before Tech-Talk
In the business world, success is not just about having the right tools. It’s about how you use them practically and integrate them coherently. Success comes from asking the right questions, finding the necessary answers, design correctly and fostering collaboration. Bringing the team together to work towards common goals is what truly drives success.
Connecting Clients and Implementation Partners for Success
With deep expertise in NetSuite and firsthand experience working alongside implementation partners, I understand the common challenges that can arise during a project—scope misalignment, unexpected delays, and client readiness gaps.
My role is to ensure smooth collaboration between partners and internal teams by validating project scope, aligning priorities, and keeping the focus on the goals. I work to bridge communication gaps, resolve issues, and help drive the project forward with clarity and efficiency.
By combining my field experience and understanding of implementation dynamics, I bring valuable insight and support to keep your NetSuite project on track and delivering results. Let’s work together to ensure success for all stakeholders involved.
Building Bridges Across Industries and Stakeholders

This versatility allows me to navigate complex projects, ensuring every stakeholder’s voice is heard and their needs are met. My industry knowledge fosters meaningful connections, driving collaboration and delivering tailored solutions that create value across all levels of your organization.
Wholesale & Distribution
From my experience in the wholesale industry, I’ve identified several common challenges related to ERP systems. These include data integration and migration, which can lead to inaccuracies and data loss. Efficient inventory management is also a challenge, as inaccurate tracking can result in stockouts, overstocking, and increased costs. Additionally, streamlining order processing and fulfillment is important, as inefficiencies in these areas can affect customer satisfaction and overall profitability. Managing special orders, dealing with various units of measure (OUMs), and navigating different Incoterms are also significant challenges that require careful attention.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing challenges include data integration and migration issues, inefficient inventory management, and streamlining order processing and fulfillment. Additionally, managing special orders, handling various units of measure (OUMs), and navigating different Incoterms are significant hurdles. Challenges with MRP (Material Requirements Planning), as well as balancing make-to-order versus make-to-stock production strategies, also play a critical role. Addressing these is crucial for optimizing operations and maintaining a competitive edge.
Common NetSuite modules for manufacturing are Advanced Manufacturing, Work Orders and Assemblies, Demand Planning, and Inventory Management.
Ecommerce
Data integration and migration issues, inefficient inventory management, and streamlining order processing and fulfillment. Additionally, managing special orders, handling various units of measure (OUMs), and dropshipping complexities are significant hurdles. Accurate shipping rates calculation and optimal routing further complicate operations. Seamless integration with platforms like Shopify, Magento, Vtex, and WooCommerce is crucial. Addressing these challenges is essential for optimizing operations and maintaining a competitive edge.
Common NetSuite modules for e-commerce include SuiteCommerce, SuiteCommerce Advanced, Order Management, and Inventory Management.
Oil&gas
In the oil and gas industry, managing wells and field services, along with the granular measurement of operation costs for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, is crucial. Navigating these complexities, each with different operational and financial impacts, and managing deals or M&A of oil companies, are significant challenges. I am well-versed in these industry’s challenges, particularly in understanding the financial lifecycle and the IT impact across all operations. Accurate management of these areas is essential for optimizing operations and maintaining a competitive edge.
Common NetSuite modules for oil and gas include Advanced Manufacturing, Work Orders and Assemblies, Demand Planning, Inventory Management, and Field Service Management.
Services
In the services industry, managing projects and cases efficiently is essential. Depending on the service style, we encounter project-oriented and case-oriented companies, each requiring different approaches and tools. Project-oriented companies benefit from modules such as Project Management, Resource Allocation, and Time Tracking, ensuring all aspects of a project are monitored and optimized. Case-oriented companies, on the other hand, utilize modules like Case Management, Customer Service, and Support, focusing on resolving client issues promptly and effectively.
I understand the unique challenges of this industry, including the need for accurate project costing, resource management, and delivering timely support. Addressing these challenges is crucial for optimizing operations and maintaining client satisfaction.
Common NetSuite modules for the services industry include Project Management, Resource Allocation, Time Tracking, Case Management, and Customer Service.
Mining
In the mining industry, I have had the opportunity to contribute significantly by understanding the processes of large, mid-sized, and small miners in both exploration and exploitation stages. This includes managing processing plants, leaching processes, and artisanal mining frameworks for mineral commercialization, traceability, and due diligence. My extensive knowledge of the industry has allowed me to build custom ERP solutions that support these processes, with or without production management involved.
Addressing the complexities of mining operations, from exploration to exploitation, and ensuring efficient mineral commercialization and traceability is crucial. By implementing tailored ERP systems, I help optimize these operations and maintain compliance with industry standards.
