High-Volume Financial Integration Platform

Designed and developed a NetSuite integration framework to process high volumes of externally generated financial data — automated creation of invoices, credit memos, journals, customer payments and refunds, with configurable transaction and revenue mappings.

This developed from a series of individual transaction scripts into a broader, controlled financial-processing platform.
  • Configurable transaction and revenue mappings
  • Corporate customer processing and reallocation logic
  • Duplicate prevention and transaction locking
  • Fallback handling for incomplete customer information
  • Automated rounding adjustments
  • Customer-level AR netting and clearing
  • Processing dashboards — completed, pending, excluded, failed
  • Reset, retry and recovery controls for failed transactions
02 · Beverage manufacturing and distribution

Automated CSV Transaction Importer

Built a full replacement for a third-party licensed CSV importer — receiving transaction files by email, validating source data, and grouping line-level data into NetSuite transactions across multiple invoice and credit types.

The importer provides full ownership of the process while removing dependency on the previous licensed application.
  • Validates filenames and source data on receipt
  • Applies different quantity and value rules by transaction type
  • Detects and safely skips duplicate transactions
  • Handles substitute items and customer fallbacks
  • Separates ignored data from genuine processing failures
  • Produces detailed completion and exception emails
  • Supports corrected files being forwarded for reprocessing
03 · Beverage production, warehousing and distribution

Warehouse & Logistics Integrations

Developed NetSuite integrations with a third-party warehouse management platform for both outbound and inbound logistics, covering sales order and transfer order processing triggered automatically from fulfilment activity.

The design supports multiple warehouses without requiring separate hard-coded integrations for each location.
  • Warehouse-specific configuration and authentication
  • Customer and delivery-address mapping
  • Lot, batch and expiry information
  • Delivery-date handling and duplicate-order detection
  • Rate-limit and API error handling
  • Retry and recovery processes
  • Integration status, external reference and error tracking in NetSuite
04 · Brewery and beverage manufacturing

Accrued Purchases Reconciliation Dashboard

Designed a full-screen NetSuite dashboard to explain and reconcile the Accrued Purchases balance — linking item receipts, purchase orders and vendor bills, and identifying anything left unmatched or unbalanced.

Converted a difficult general-ledger balance into a traceable operational workflow.
  • Excludes fully reconciled purchase orders automatically
  • Ageing and variance analysis
  • Subsidiary, location, department and as-of-date filtering
  • Drill-down into supporting transactions
  • Clickable transaction references
  • Purchase-order review workspace
  • Balanced variance write-off journal creation, linked back to source PO
05 · Brewery manufacturing

Fast Production Order Entry & Scheduling Tool

Developed a custom NetSuite production-planning interface to replace slow, repetitive standard-form entry — rapid configuration of multiple production orders with recipe and liquid-product filtering.

Gives production teams a purpose-built operational tool while still creating standard NetSuite records underneath.
  • Default batch quantities sourced from routing data
  • Editable production quantities and start dates
  • Liquid and packaging production workflows
  • Linked batch and production-order information
  • Bulk "Create All" processing
  • Visual, drag-and-drop production scheduler
  • Status indicators, detail popups, and product colour coding
06 · Brewery and beverage sales

Sales Performance & Volume Dashboard

Built a branded management dashboard combining financial sales performance with physical sales volumes — keg and packaged-product comparisons, channel and customer-type analysis, financial-year and custom date filtering.

Special attention was given to keeping revenue, litres, cases and kegs distinct so financial and operational measures were never incorrectly blended.
  • Major customer and distributor reporting
  • Product and volume-mix visualisations
  • Subsidiary and business-unit presentation
  • Detailed definitions explaining how each measure is calculated
  • Reconciliation against existing KPI reporting
07 · Professional services

Timesheet, Utilisation & Regional Reporting Platform

Designed a NetSuite reporting solution for employee utilisation, contracted capacity, timesheet status and regional performance — covering worked, approved, pending and open timesheet hours with leave treatment built in.

The snapshot architecture preserves historically correct reporting even after employee details later change.
  • Historical monthly employee snapshots
  • Employee cost, rank, location and contracted-capacity history
  • Rolling utilisation reporting
  • East-versus-West and regional analysis
  • Restricted-role access — staff see only their own timesheets
  • Department controls driven by deployment parameters
  • Searchable multi-customer filtering
08 · Sales and professional services reporting

High-Volume Dashboard Data Architecture

Designed a reusable architecture for dashboards backed by very large saved searches — instead of processing hundreds of thousands of source lines every time a user opens a dashboard, a scheduled Map/Reduce script pre-aggregates the data into a compact JSON dataset.

This pattern improves dashboard speed, reliability and NetSuite governance usage all at once.
  • Scheduled Map/Reduce aggregation of source data
  • Status record tracking processing health and refresh time
  • Suitelet loads the prepared data quickly
  • Filters and charts operate client-side
  • Visible "last refreshed" indicator for users
09 · Inventory-based operations

Aged Inventory Processing & Recovery Tools

Designed and built a comprehensive aged-inventory calculation engine — processing large datasets, storing detailed inventory-level data, and running complex ageing logic across the full stock ledger. The recovery and rerun tooling below was just one part of that broader system, built to repair an interrupted scheduled run without disturbing historical accuracy.

Calculations could be repaired without unintentionally revaluing inventory or rewriting historical data.
  • Large-dataset processing across the full inventory ledger
  • Detailed inventory-level data storage supporting complex ageing logic
  • Separation of calculated values from hard-coded source values
  • Dedicated rerun process with date-range parameters
  • Protection of historical inventory values and original dates
  • Recalculation limited to only the fields affected by the failure
10 · Multi-entity and operationally complex organisations

Procurement & Vendor-Control Framework

Designed a NetSuite procurement and payment-control solution — employee purchase requisitions with OPEX/CAPEX classification, budget categorisation, and supervisor-chain approvals routed by value and category.

Connects procurement, approval, accounts payable and payment security into one controlled process.
  • Delegated approvers and portal-based requisition review
  • Vendor bill tolerance controls and vendor approval status
  • Mandatory reapproval when vendor bank details change
  • Audit history for sensitive vendor changes
  • Payment blocking for pending or unapproved bank details
11 · Workforce-heavy and multi-site businesses

Employee Access, Compliance & HR Portals

Designed NetSuite-based employee portal and compliance solutions — secure employee access without requiring full NetSuite licences, training and certification tracking, and policy acknowledgements.

Uses NetSuite as the central employee and compliance system while giving staff a simpler external interface.
  • Expiry reminders and compliance quizzes
  • Performance reviews and recurring one-on-ones
  • Internal notices and employee communications
  • Employee lifecycle automation and inactivation workflows
  • Access-control monitoring
12 · Cross-project patterns

Operational Controls & Support Utilities

Recurring tools and patterns built across the larger projects above — the connective tissue that makes each solution reliable in production, not just functional in testing.

  • Configurable deployment parameters, no hard-coded settings
  • Processing locks preventing scripts running twice
  • Duplicate detection and idempotent transaction creation
  • Bulk record creation and deletion tools
  • Exception dashboards and automated failure notifications
  • Detailed execution summaries and diagnostic logging
  • Controlled reset and retry functions
