NetSuite Optimization Services: 5 Warning Signs You Need Help Now

By
Miggy Dy Buncio

Imagine this. 

Your finance team is working late again because the month-end close is dragging on. Reports take forever to load. Your sales data doesn’t quite match your accounting reports. 

And every time your team tries to fix it, they create new workarounds that make things even more complicated.

You’ve invested in NetSuite because it’s supposed to help your business move faster and smarter. But right now? It feels like it’s slowing you down.

That’s where NetSuite Optimization Services makes the difference. Done right, they can:

  • Cut month-end close time by up to 50%
  • Improve reporting accuracy across every department
  • Increase transaction processing speed by as much as 30%
  • Free your team from repetitive, manual work

Here are five signs it’s time to bring in the right partner for NetSuite Optimization Services — along with examples of what’s possible when you do.

5 Signs You Need NetSuite Optimization Services

NetSuite will do exactly what you set it up to do. But if your system hasn’t evolved alongside your business, it’s probably creating bottlenecks you don’t even realize are there. 

These are the moments when NetSuite Optimization Services go from “nice to have” to “essential.”

1. Your team spends more time fixing data than analyzing it

If your CFO or accounting team spends hours every week cleaning up reports instead of making decisions from them, you have a data quality problem. 

That’s often a sign your workflows are letting bad data in, or that your saved searches and reports aren’t configured for speed and accuracy.

NetSuite Optimization Services can:

  • Audit and refine data entry workflows
  • Automate reconciliations
  • Add validation rules to prevent incorrect data from entering the system
  • Rebuild saved searches to return results instantly

A healthcare provider eliminated 70% of manual invoice and collection tasks after Stockton10 implemented automated revenue recognition and customized invoice processes, freeing their finance team for higher-value work.

2. Month-end close feels like a never-ending project

Closing the books shouldn’t mean nights and weekends for your accounting team. 

If your month-end close takes longer than it should, chances are your workflows are inconsistent or your reports are running on outdated processes.

NetSuite Optimization Services can:

  • Standardize close procedures across entities and departments
  • Streamline approval processes
  • Implement advanced financial modules for faster consolidation
  • Reduce reliance on external spreadsheets

A retail and distribution company was struggling with a purchasing department buried in spreadsheets. 

Stockton10 automated supply planning within NetSuite Planning and Budgeting, eliminating 30-50% of the department’s daily manual work. 

This not only sped up their month-end but also improved purchasing accuracy.

3. System speed is slowing down business decisions

When dashboards take minutes to load or transactions freeze mid-process, decision-making grinds to a halt. Often, the culprit is outdated scripts, inefficient workflows, or integrations that aren’t optimized.

NetSuite Optimization Services can:

  • Identify and remove scripts that are slowing your system
  • Optimize role-based dashboards for faster loading
  • Upgrade or replace lagging integrations
  • Add performance monitoring tools to prevent future slowdowns

A technology company needed to handle US sales tax compliance in 10 states, but their Avalara integration was broken. Invoices stalled for hours due to repeated tokenization errors.

Stockton10 fixed misaligned tax configurations, streamlined reporting, and resolved the integration issue, cutting transaction processing time from six hours to four while expanding compliance coverage.

4. Customizations and integrations are working against you

Customizations should make NetSuite fit your business. But when they’re outdated, poorly built, or not aligned with your processes, they create more problems than they solve.

NetSuite Optimization Services will:

  • Modernize scripts to match the latest NetSuite releases
  • Realign integrations with current business workflows
  • Remove unused features that create unnecessary risk
  • Reshape data flows for cleaner reporting

A trading company’s lead-to-order process was painfully manual, involving hours of duplicate data entry, contract reprocessing, and customer portal setup. 

Stockton10 built a custom DocuSign integration that automated contract tracking and portal access, eliminating the repetitive steps and giving sales real-time visibility into prospect activity.

5. You’re paying more for support but getting less value

If your NetSuite support provider is slow to respond, reactive instead of proactive, or billing you for hours you never use, it’s time to rethink who’s helping you.

Stockton10’s NetSuite Optimization Services stand out because:

  • Every consultant has at least three years of industry experience, a NetSuite certification, and a CPA designation before working on client cases.
  • We offer a fixed rate regardless of services, with purchased hours valid for 12 months, saving clients up to 50% compared to the standard Optimize package.
  • We guarantee a 30-minute response time or your money back.

A BPO provider’s procurement approvals were delayed whenever key individuals were unavailable. 

Stockton10 redesigned their workflow to use role-based approvals, cutting delays by 80% without the added cost of a separate sandbox environment.
