NetSuite replacement —
stop renting your back office.

We replicate the NetSuite modules you actually use — orders, inventory, vendor management, accounting glue — as custom software you own. AI-assisted scaffolding compresses the timeline. Phased cutover, alongside the SaaS.

NetSuite Escape · US Surfaces $108k/yr saved · 90% software cost cut.

The case study that anchors this offer. Real client, real number, real timeline.

NetSuite Escape · US Surfaces preview
"We were paying ten thousand a month for software that almost fit. Now we pay a tenth of that for a system that actually fits — built around how we move containers, not around a generic ERP's idea of a distributor. The factory data alone has paid for the entire project."

§ Module by module

What we replicate, and what we drop.

Most NetSuite contracts pay for a full ERP suite to use about 40% of it. The replacement targets what you use. Everything else is a line item we delete.

§ Process

Audit → replicate → migrate → run.

  1. [01] · Audit

    Two-week paid engagement, credits 100% to the build. We sit with your ops team, map every NetSuite workflow they actually use, identify the modules paid for but unused, and produce a scoped replacement plan with concrete cost + timeline numbers. You can walk away here with a useful artifact even if you don't move forward.

  2. [02] · Replicate

    Fixed-bid build. Postgres schema mirrors your operational model. Next.js + Remix UI for the screens your team uses daily. AI-assisted scaffolding for CRUD + admin views; hand-built logic for quoting, inventory, and routing rules. Vendor + accounting integrations wired in.

  3. [03] · Migrate

    Parallel-run alongside NetSuite for 4–8 weeks. Data parity tested in production traffic. Cutover by team or workflow — order entry first, accounting last, never all at once. Rollback path available throughout.

  4. [04] · Run

    Optional retainer for changes, AI feature additions, and monitoring. Or we hand off to your internal team with documentation, runbooks, and a clean repo. Your call.

Also worth replacing — other expensive SaaS we get clients off.
