China Auto Group is a manufacturing and distribution company that sources auto parts from China. The company is based in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and sells through B2B channels and multi-channel eCommerce, including Amazon and eBay.
After implementing NetSuite with Folio3, China Auto Group moved warehouse, sales, and invoicing work off manual processes and onto custom-built NetSuite tools.
Tiered pricing, alternate part number management, and tariff automation were all delivered as part of the same NetSuite rollout.
OEM, manufacturer, competitor, customer, and vendor part numbers all map to internal CAG Part Numbers from a single custom record.
Alternate part numbers stay searchable and auto populate across ten transaction types, plus global search across NetSuite.
Amazon and eBay sales post with full GL impact and settlement mapping, reconciled directly with the client's controller.
China Auto Group manages warehouse operations, B2B sales, and multi-channel eCommerce. Pricing, part tracking, and tariff calculations were running on manual processes as the business grew.
Bin tracking, wave picking, and pick tickets ran on manual processes across the warehouse. Barcode scanning had no system to plug into.
Carton labels, pallet labels, and BOL reports followed generic templates. Rate shopping and label generation had no dedicated tool built for China Auto Group's own fulfillment process.
Customers negotiate rates by item, unit of measure, quantity slab, and effective date. A flat pricing structure couldn't keep up with these individual agreements.
OEM, competitor, customer, and vendor part numbers had no link back to China Auto Group's own CAG Part Numbers. Finding the right part across transactions meant searching by hand.
Steel, aluminum, and reciprocal tariffs had to be calculated by hand for every item line on B2B invoices, with rates shifting as government policy changes.
Amazon and eBay sales had no clean path to the general ledger. Settlement reports and reconciliation ran as a manual, channel-by-channel process.
Folio3 implemented NetSuite SuiteSuccess Manufacturing Standard for China Auto Group, along with custom-built solutions for customer pricing, part number management, and tariff calculation.
Core financials, procurement, inventory, and CRM now run under one NetSuite account. Quality management and warehouse tools were also configured as part of the base implementation.
WMS handles bin management, wave picking, and barcode scanning in the warehouse. ShipCentral generates carton and pallet labels plus BOL reports in China Auto Group's own format.
Each customer gets pricing rules by item, unit of measure, quantity slab, and effective date. Rates apply automatically, expire on schedule, and load in bulk from CSV.
One custom record links OEM, manufacturer, competitor, customer, and vendor part numbers to China Auto Group's own CAG numbers. These auto populate and stay searchable across ten transaction types.
Tariffs calculate automatically the moment a B2B order ships. Steel, aluminum, and reciprocal charges apply per item line, and rates stay editable by China Auto Group's own team.
Amazon and eBay sales post straight to the general ledger. Settlement reports map automatically, and B2B EDI runs alongside it.
