QuickBooks to NetSuite

Folio3 replaced its legacy system, QuickBooks, with NetSuite ERP by implementing a more robust, scalable platform to support its growing manufacturing operations.

Request for consultation
“Our operations are more efficient because all systems talk to one another. Automation and reporting are good. We can really dig into the transactions at the base level. Visibility is much better in NetSuite now that EStore and ShipStation are connected. We really like the dashboards; they give us a quick look at key metrics we track. Transition went really smoothly and Folio3 responded to all our questions at any time of the day during the go-live week.”

Rugged Suppressors & NetSuite

Rugged Suppressors partnered with Folio3 to replace its legacy system and implement NetSuite SuiteSuccess Manufacturing Standard to:

  • Migrate from QuickBooks, which lacked manufacturing functionality.
  • Automate and manage financials, inventory, procurement, and production workflows.
  • Gain real-time visibility into operations to support growth and compliance.

Summary

Folio3 helped Rugged Suppressors migrate from QuickBooks to NetSuite

Rugged Suppressors needed a modern ERP system to support their growing manufacturing operations.

Their existing system, QuickBooks, couldn’t handle the complexity of inventory management, production planning, or financial visibility.

Manual processes were leading to system inefficiencies and lost time. That’s why they turned to Folio3 to implement NetSuite SuiteSuccess Manufacturing Standard, as it is a purpose-built ERP for manufacturers.

The Challenges

  • They were using QuickBooks, and QB is only a financial system. They need a system that covers 360 of their business along with managing complex manufacturing workflows.
  • They had no centralized system to manage inventory, procurement, or production.
  • Manual financial reporting created delays and inaccuracies.
  • They were facing limited operational visibility across departments.
  • They are using ShipStation to manage their shipping, so they also wanted integration with NetSuite.

Solution

Our implementation goal was to migrate Rugged Suppressors to NetSuite and configure a manufacturing-ready ERP. Key highlights included:

  • Implemented modules for Financials, Advanced Procurement, Inventory & Demand Planning, Work Orders, WIP & Routing, and Sales.
  • Set up accounting framework, including Chart of Accounts, departments, locations, and U.S. Sales Tax.
  • Configured item data, pricing tiers, units of measure, assembly items, serial/lot tracking, and inventory costing.
  • Deployed full procure-to-pay cycle with vendor billing, returns, and advanced procurement features.
  • Enabled order-to-cash processes, including customer orders, returns, and basic CRM.
  • Set up manufacturing processes, including BOMs, routings, and WIP tracking.
  • Migrated all master data, opening balances, open transactions, and historical trial balances from 2023 through the go-live period in 2025.
  • Provided four weeks of post-production support (up to 80 hours).

Results

A successful transition from QuickBooks to NetSuite ERP
  • They got a centralized ERP capable of supporting full-scale manufacturing operations.
  • NetSuite automated its financial reporting and provided better data accuracy.
  • With NetSuite SuiteSuccess for manufacturing implementation, they got greater operational visibility across production and finance teams.
