Custom Development & Integration
Crafting Powerful, Efficient NetSuite Solutions
NetSuite Script Types Mastery
User Event Scripts
Trigger actions before or after records are loaded, submitted, or deleted.
Example: Implemented a script to automatically update related records when a sales order is approved, ensuring data consistency across the system.
Client Scripts
Enhance user interface and form behavior dynamically.
Example: Developed a client script to dynamically populate custom fields based on user selections, improving data entry efficiency and accuracy.
Scheduled Scripts
Automate processes to run at specified intervals.
Example: Created a scheduled script to perform nightly inventory reconciliation, automatically adjusting stock levels and generating exception reports.
Suitelet Scripts
Build custom pages and web applications within NetSuite.
Example: Developed a custom dashboard Suitelet for executives, providing real-time KPIs and drill-down capabilities for detailed analysis.
Map/Reduce Scripts
Process large datasets efficiently using parallel processing.
Example: Implemented a Map/Reduce script to handle bulk updates of millions of inventory items, optimizing performance during a large-scale data migration.
Workflow Action Scripts
Extend native workflow capabilities with custom logic.
Example: Created a custom workflow action script to integrate with an external API for real-time credit checks during the order approval process.

Custom Development Methodology
Least Invasive Approach
Prioritize native functionality and gradually escalate to more complex solutions as needed:
- SuiteBuilder customizations
- SuiteFlow workflows
- SuiteScript development
Performance-Driven Design
Focus on system performance and user experience:
- Thorough needs analysis to determine latency requirements
- Utilize asynchronous processing for resource-intensive tasks
- Optimize server-side processing to minimize client-side impact
Balanced Approach to Scripting
Leverage SuiteScript's power while being mindful of long-term implications:
- Prioritize native functionality to minimize technical debt
- Implement scripts strategically to enhance system capabilities
- Consider future scalability in all custom development
Success Story: Optimized Order Processing
Applied the least invasive approach to streamline order processing for a high-volume e-commerce client:
- Utilized SuiteBuilder to add custom fields for order prioritization
- Implemented SuiteFlow for basic approval routing
- Developed a Map/Reduce script for batch processing of approved orders
Result: 40% reduction in order processing time while maintaining system performance during peak loads.
