NetSuite Health Check: 7 Signs + Fixes for Faster Close & ROI

By
Miggy Dy Buncio

It’s two days before quarter close. Your finance team is chasing down mismatched numbers, reports are loading slowly, and people are working late just to figure out where the errors are. 

You know the system should make things easier, yet these NetSuite issues keep creeping in.

A NetSuite Health Check is designed to find exactly where your setup is failing and fix it before it affects your business performance. 

In many cases, businesses see faster processing times, cleaner data, and more reliable reporting in just weeks.

Why a NetSuite Health Check Is a Business Necessity

A NetSuite Health Check is more than a technical review. 

It is a strategic safeguard that validates your configurations, uncovers hidden NetSuite issues, and pinpoints where performance is falling short. 

It also looks at application performance management in NetSuite, so your reports and transactions run at the speed you need.

For one retail and distribution client, a NetSuite Health Check revealed broken connections in their Planning and Budgeting setup. 

After fixing the integration and optimizing workflows, their purchasing team cut manual reporting workload by 30 to 50 percent.

The benefits are clear:

  • Resolve hidden NetSuite issues before they escalate.
  • Improve application performance management NetSuite capabilities for faster, more stable performance.
  • Benchmark your system against industry best practices.
  • Increase ROI without buying new software or licenses.

7 Warning Signs Your NetSuite System Needs a Health Check

Even the best NetSuite implementation drifts over time. Here’s how to know when it is time to schedule your next NetSuite Health Check.

1. Your month-end close is taking longer every quarter

If your close process has crept from 5 days to 10, something is slowing you down.

Common causes we find during a NetSuite Health Check:

  • Inefficient workflows that require unnecessary steps.
  • Approval processes with too many handoffs.
  • Reporting bottlenecks or slow queries.

Impact: NetSuite optimization in this area often shortens close times significantly.

2. Your team relies on offline spreadsheets for key processes

When employees export NetSuite data into spreadsheets just to reformat or analyze it, it’s a sign your reporting setup is falling short.

What a Health Check can do:

  • Rebuild dashboards and saved searches for real-time insights.
  • Eliminate redundant data exports.
  • Ensure the data team needs is already available inside NetSuite.

3. You have outdated customizations or inactive integrations

Old scripts and unused integrations do more than clutter your account. They can slow performance and create security risks.

Typical findings:

  • Scripts that run in the background but no longer serve a purpose.
  • Integrations left active after the business stopped using them.
  • Security vulnerabilities from outdated code.

Real example: Disabling inactive integrations after a NetSuite Health Check improved application performance management NetSuite speed by 20 percent for one client.

4. You’ve noticed recurring data mismatches

When data in one module doesn’t match another, it usually points to mapping errors or flawed workflows.

Possible triggers:

  • Inconsistent field usage across modules.
  • Incorrect mapping between integrated systems.
  • Manual data entry errors.

A Health Check pinpoints the source so the problem can be fixed before it skews your reports.

5. Troubleshooting takes more time than actual execution

If your team spends more time fixing problems than delivering results, your setup may be too complex.

A Health Check can:

  • Remove unnecessary steps in key workflows.
  • Consolidate duplicate processes.
  • Reduce reliance on manual interventions.

6. Your integrations fail under real-world load

From Avalara tax tokenization failures to DocuSign data capture limits, integrations can be a hidden source of NetSuite issues.

What we’ve solved during Health Checks:

  • Avalara authentication errors that halted invoicing in 10 US states.
  • Workflow failures due to SuiteApp limitations.
  • Tokenization issues that caused errors during both testing and go-live.

Result: In the Avalara case, transaction time dropped from 6 hours to 4.

7. Your system no longer fits your business model

If your operations have evolved but NetSuite has not kept up, you’re working against yourself.

Indicators:

  • Workflows built for your startup phase still in place years later.
  • Customizations that no longer reflect current products or services.
  • Reports that track outdated KPIs.

Real example: A trading company cut contract processing time drastically after Stockton10 rebuilt their Lead-to-Order process during a NetSuite Health Check, freeing sales teams for higher-value work.

5 Things a NetSuite Health Check Includes

When Stockton10 runs a NetSuite Health Check, we review both the technical setup and how it supports your business operations:

  1. Current state analysis & configuration review. Examine modules, workflows, scripts, and integrations to find unused features, redundant steps, and misaligned settings.
  2. Application performance management NetSuite testing. Measure system speed and stability under real workloads to pinpoint latency, inefficient scripts, or heavy queries.
  3. NetSuite optimization recommendations. Identify workflow, reporting, and dashboard improvements that cut processing time and reduce manual work.
  4. Customization & integration risk assessment. Check every customization and connection for relevance, security, and compatibility with your current needs.
  5. Action plan for immediate and future needs. Provide a prioritized list of fixes with timelines, effort estimates, and expected ROI to guide optimization without disrupting operations.
