Your plant ships thousands of units a month, but it still runs on spreadsheets. So your cash is stuck in inventory you can’t see, your cost per unit is never accurate, and your production reports arrive too late to act on. Folio3 is a pioneer in implementing manufacturing ERP on NetSuite, which gives finance, operations, and supply chain teams one source of truth for cost, margin, and inventory.
Some of the leading manufacturing companies across the US and the globe rely on Folio3 to ensure NetSuite works the way their business demands.
Most factories run on a mix of disconnected tools. The usual process involves manual handoffs and spreadsheets that no one fully trusts. It gives no visibility into hidden waste, which slows down the decisions and lets compliance gaps build until they turn into real problems. A manufacturing ERP fixes this by giving you one system you can rely on.
Work orders live in spreadsheets. Capacity is tracked from memory. Missed due dates pile up before anyone sees them coming, and what is on the floor never matches what is in the system.
With a unified ERP, you get
Raw materials, WIP, and finished goods sit in separate systems or are not tracked at all. BOM changes do not flow downstream. Worst of all, excess stock ties up cash you could use elsewhere, while stockouts still halt the line.
With a unified ERP, you get
COGS per product is a monthly guess. Overhead allocation is rough. Finance closes the books days late, and true profit by SKU is never clear. Many manufacturers also get locked into one costing method and find it painful to switch when the business changes.
With a unified ERP, you get
Purchase orders go out by email. Supplier lead times live in someone's head. Goods receipts do not match invoices, and procurement has no view of what production actually needs.
With a unified ERP, you get
Inspections live on paper or in a separate tool. Recall traceability means days of manual assembly. Regulatory reporting depends on one person who knows where every document lives.
With a unified ERP, you get
Maintenance is reactive. Downtime is not captured against output. No one knows the true cost of aging equipment until it breaks at the worst time.
With a unified ERP, you get
Your manufacturing ERP works best when every feature shares one data model. Field activity, inventory movement, financial transactions, and quality records stay connected with no manual handoffs. These are the core features Folio3 configures for your operation on NetSuite.
Start with what you need most, then add the rest as you grow.
Track stock levels, item locations, demand patterns, and order status in real time. Automated reorder points place inventory where it earns its keep. That lowers carrying costs and cuts the risk of a stockout stopping the line.
Align production with forecasts, resources, and live demand. Capacity adjustments happen before a bottleneck forms, not after. Your team keeps commitments even as order volume climbs.
Monitor productivity, machine performance, and work orders from anywhere, including mobile. Adjust schedules, balance workloads, and clear bottlenecks on or off the floor. This is the fold that finally connects the shop floor to the top floor.
Built-in checkpoints hold every job to your internal and regulatory standards. Full traceability keeps you audit-ready and shrinks the blast radius of a recall to minutes instead of days.
Demand planning, procurement, and supplier tools help you see shortages coming, control costs, and keep production fed. Live logistics and inventory data keep the whole chain moving.
Model demand shifts, adjust supply plans, and compare alternatives with what-if analysis. Live supply snapshots help you balance lead times, inventory cost, and production schedules.
Costed bills of materials update in real time, so you can watch production and carrying costs as they happen. Spot your margin drivers, control spend, and adjust pricing or budget with numbers you can trust.
Your ERP already captures the operational data that drives smarter calls. These AI capabilities turn that data into alerts, predictions, and recommendations inside the screens your teams already use. Nothing is bolted on as a separate product.
Read sales history, order patterns, and stock levels to plan production with more confidence and fewer surprises.
Combine equipment logs, maintenance history, and live production data to flag failures before they stop a line.
Weigh work orders, labor, and material levels to rebalance the plan and break bottlenecks as conditions change.
Turn supplier and procurement data into early warnings, so you avoid shortages and keep materials flowing.
Scan inspection results and production records to catch recurring defects earlier and cut rework.
A standard ERP rollout covers the basics. It rarely covers the edge cases that make your plant yours. Over 500+ implementations, Folio3 has built a set of manufacturing solutions that plug straight into NetSuite. This is the difference between an ERP that goes live and one that fits how you actually run.
Cost Sheet Estimate the true cost of a product, whether you assemble it, manufacture it, or source it from several vendors. Our engine calculates product cost at runtime, so you do not have to create an item by hand first. You get the speed you need to quote and cost items, plus the accuracy you can stand behind.
Work Order Management Process work orders in batches using custom filters. Issue, complete, and close selected work orders, and run the operation-completion step, all from a single screen. Less clicking, fewer missed steps, faster closeouts.
Automated Label Printing We integrate Zebra Browser Print so labeling stops being a manual chore. Send labels straight to your Zebra printer with one click. The whole process runs on its own, which removes a common source of floor delays and mislabels.
License Plating Track and manage inventory at the pallet, bin, or container level. License Plating lets you identify and move specific items or groups of items with full control, which makes inventory movement and transactions faster and far less error-prone.
Production Completion and Labeling Close out production and apply compliant labels in one connected flow. Output, lot data, and labels stay tied together, so traceability holds from the line to the dock.
Every plant runs differently. Whether you’re discrete, process, or mixed-mode, your workflows, rules, and KPIs aren’t like anyone else’s. Folio3 configures the ERP to match your exact manufacturing operations and requirements.
You build countable units from parts and components, from machines to electronics to furniture. The ERP runs on BOMs, work orders, and routing, so every made-to-order and make-to-stock job stays on plan.
You make products from formulas and recipes that can’t be unmade, like chemicals, food, and pharma. The ERP handles batches, yields, and the cost of everything that comes off the line.
You do both. You produce a recipe or formula and also assemble finished goods, like a food maker that cooks a product and then kits it for retail. The ERP supports both models in one system with no workarounds.
Style and SKU-level job costing and material utilization tracking across cutting, making, and trimming (CMT).
Job costing, nested optimization, and material utilization tracking across cut, form, weld, and finish.
FDA traceability, shelf-life and expiry management, recipe costing, and lot recall readiness in every batch.
21 CFR Part 11 compliance, electronic batch records, sterilization, and full audit trails for regulated production.
Serial number tracking, revision-controlled BOMs, warranty management, and demand-driven procurement for fast-moving parts.
Configure-to-order, kitting, multi-channel demand signals, and direct ties to ecommerce and 3PL platforms.
Project-based manufacturing, milestone billing, field service integration, and long-cycle work order management.
Multi-level BOM management, lot and serial number tracking, and real-time monitoring of material, labor, and overhead variances.
Revision-controlled BOM management and document management maintain ITAR-compliant documentation trails across all production stages.
If you’re a CEO or Owner, then stop waiting for the month-end. Get a live view of margin, cash, and output across every entity, and decide on today’s data.

Moving years of work orders, BOMs, costing history, and compliance records feels risky, especially when your teams are already stretched.
Our manufacturing ERP migration framework moves you onto NetSuite without stopping production, with validation checkpoints so nothing is lost in transit.
We build your manufacturing ERP on NetSuite, the AI-powered cloud suite that runs finance, inventory, production, supply chain, quality, and order management as one connected system. As a certified Oracle NetSuite Alliance Partner, Folio3 implements NetSuite SuiteSuccess for Manufacturing and extends it with proprietary shop-floor solutions built for how your plant actually runs.
Folio3 takes a phased rollout approach, so you go live in controlled stages instead of one risky switchover. We start with discovery and end with role-based training, with each phase timed around your production calendar and reporting cycle. Your teams adopt the system in real working conditions, without disrupting output or the close.
We audit your current tools, data flows, and cost structures across finance, operations, and the warehouse. We map every workflow the ERP must support before a single module is configured.
We build a phased plan that starts with your highest-impact modules and schedules each milestone around your production peaks and reporting periods.
Core features are configured for your workflows. Where standard functionality falls short of your production, costing, or compliance needs, we build extensions that fit your plant exactly.
We connect the ERP to your existing systems, including MES, CAD, shop-floor devices, and accounting. We migrate historical data with validation checkpoints so nothing is corrupted in transit.
We run end-to-end tests on every configured workflow using your real production scenarios, from work order to invoice, including reporting accuracy and integration data flow.
Phased go-live with role-based training for operators, supervisors, and finance. After launch, our manufacturing support team stays on for optimization and new module rollout.
The platform is rarely the reason a project fails. The rollout is. Here is why manufacturers trust Folio3 to implement the ERP for their businesses.

General Manager
Unlike generic systems retrofitted for manufacturing, NetSuite offers specific modules for inventory management, order management, product traceability, customer relationship management, and more. It replaces disjointed spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a unified, real-time platform that connects the shop floor to the top floor.
It depends on your size, your current systems, and where your team already works. NetSuite is cloud-native and fast to stand up, with strong inventory, order, and financial management in one suite. Microsoft Dynamics 365 fits manufacturers already in the Microsoft ecosystem who want deep finance and supply chain control with Power BI and Azure. Folio3 is certified on both. We assess your operation first, then recommend the platform that fits, with no pressure to pick one over the other.
Most failures trace back to weak discovery, messy data migration, and low user adoption, not the software itself. Folio3 runs a phased rollout that starts with workflow mapping, migrates data with validation checkpoints, and trains each role in real working conditions. Across 500+ implementations, we hold a 98% go-live rate.
It gives you real-time COGS per work order, so you see true margin by product instead of a monthly estimate. It frees cash trapped in excess inventory through accurate reorder points and bin-level visibility. And it speeds the close, so finance reports on current numbers. Better data leads to better pricing, leaner stock, and fewer surprises.
Yes. Folio3’s License Plating solution tracks and manages inventory at the pallet, bin, or container level. It makes inventory movement and transactions faster and far more accurate.
Yes. NetSuite supports multi-site, multi-currency, and multi-entity operations, with consolidation handled in one system instead of separate instances you reconcile by hand.
Most rollouts run on a phased timeline rather than a single big-bang switch. The schedule is built around your production peaks, so the floor keeps running. Folio3 maps a realistic roadmap during discovery and gives you milestones before any module is configured.
