We are excited to share that Oracle NetSuite has named Folio3 a Summer 2025 Alliance Partner Spotlight Award Winner for Sporting Goods for our work with BlackStrap Industries Inc.
NetSuite’s Alliance Partner Spotlight Awards recognize leading partners for their demonstrated success in implementing NetSuite and their outstanding work with customers.
The NetSuite Alliance Partner program provides business consulting services, as well as integration and implementation services, that help customers get even more value from NetSuite. Alliance Partners are experts in their field and have a deep and unique understanding of NetSuite solutions.

Why This Project Stood Out
BlackStrap had several operational inefficiencies due to the lack of automated accounting and inventory management processes. Folio3 implemented the NetSuite AFA Standard Edition and changed the game of how BlackStrap managed its financials, supply chain, and order fulfillment. BlackStrap achieved remarkable operational improvements that directly supported its outdoor adventure equipment business.
NetSuite’s Electronic Payments bundle with custom ACH templates transformed payment processing from 5 days to same-day completion, and the SuiteSuccess implementation helped cut 40% manual processes for their work order and inventory management. You can see in detail how we helped BlackStrap deliver the right order at the right time.

The project’s recognition stems from several unique strengths:
- Vertical Expertise: Folio3 brought deep knowledge of the AFA vertical and aligned it with BlackStrap’s unique business model to cater to seasonal demand, multiple product lines, and hybrid B2B/B2C operations within NetSuite.
- Tailored Customizations: Their system was moved toward automation to eliminate redundant manual tasks, improve reporting accuracy, and accelerate financial close cycles.
- Scalable Framework: Our implementation aim was to support BlackStrap’s long-term growth and give them flexibility to expand into new markets and channels without process disruptions.
- Visible Outcome: BlackStrap praised Folio3 because we were able to help them reduce payment processing from 5 days to same-day completion.
This recognition underscores Folio3’s commitment to deliver industry-specific NetSuite solutions that not only solve immediate challenges but also empower businesses like BlackStrap to scale confidently into the future.
