Optimized Order Consolidation and Automated Load Building

Once connected, Owlery reads orders from NetSuite that need shipping, instantly making use of our powerful, native features to optimize your supply chain. One of the most significant advantages is the ability to consolidate orders efficiently. Owlery's intelligent algorithms analyze order data and automatically consolidate shipments, reducing transportation costs and improving delivery times.

Moreover, Owlery's automated load-building functionality takes the guesswork out of logistics planning. Owlery will automatically creating load plans, get rates from your carriers, and tender them out, ensuring that your shipments are both cost-effective and timely. This reduces manual errors and enhances the overall efficiency of your supply chain operations.

Streamlined Tracking and Proactive Exception Management

In supply chain management, visibility is everything. With Owlery, you gain real-time tracking capabilities that provide complete transparency into your shipments. As soon as an order is processed in NetSuite, Owlery takes over with real-time tracking that enables you to monitor every aspect of your supply chain.

But Owlery doesn't stop at just tracking. It also offers robust exception management tools that proactively monitor for any disruptions or issues in the supply chain. Should a delay or error occur, Owlery provides instant alerts and offers resolution workflows that help your team address problems before they escalate. This proactive approach minimizes disruptions, ensuring that your operations remain smooth and efficient.

Advanced Supply Chain Insights and Benchmark Data

The integration of Owlery and NetSuite not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances decision-making through advanced analytics. Owlery's platform provides detailed insights into every aspect of your supply chain, from carrier performance to cost trends. These insights allow you to benchmark your logistics operations against industry standards, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions that optimize your supply chain.

One particularly valuable feature is the visibility into transportation costs. Owlery tracks these costs in real-time, giving you immediate insights into how your logistics expenses are impacting your bottom line. This data is seamlessly integrated back into NetSuite, allowing your financial team to maintain precise accounting records and ensuring compliance with financial reporting standards.

Writing Data Back to NetSuite

As we just alluded to, a key advantage of the Owlery-NetSuite integration is that it's not just a one way integration – Owlery can write critical logistics data back into NetSuite. Most companies need at least the following:

  • Accrual
  • Shipment details
  • Mark shipments completed
  • Freight settlement

When a shipment is completed, Owlery can update NetSuite with relevant information, such as the actual shipping date and transportation costs. This not only helps in recognizing revenue more accurately but also ensures that your accounting is up to date with the latest logistics expenses. Your accounting team will thank you!

While Owlery provides a powerful out-of-the-box integration with NetSuite, it also offers the flexibility to customize the setup to fit your specific business needs. Whether you need to filter orders based on certain criteria or integrate additional data fields, Owlery supports custom configurations. Simply provide the necessary fields, and Owlery will handle the rest. This flexibility ensures that your logistics operations can scale and adapt as your business grows, making it a future-proof solution.
