NetSuite + Shopify Integration
When your ERP and your storefront don't talk, somebody pays for it: oversold stock, re-keyed orders, and books that never quite tie out. I connect NetSuite and Shopify so a sale in any channel updates inventory and accounting in real time. For a multi-brand distributor that means ~$170K/mo in e-commerce revenue invoiced and collected with no manual entry, and about 20 hours a month handed back to the bookkeeping team. The integration runs on an AI delivery pipeline I built, so it lands faster and costs less than a room of consultants would.
Two great systems, one expensive gap
NetSuite runs the business and Shopify runs the storefront, but data does not travel between them on its own. Left unconnected, you get inventory that oversells, orders re-typed by hand, pricing that drifts apart, and a month-end where the two systems disagree about what actually happened. Two great systems, telling two different stories.
I've built on both sides of this connection: custom SuiteScript inside NetSuite and full storefront and catalog work in Shopify. Because I know what each platform expects, I design the sync on the merits rather than whatever a single vendor happens to sell. I work with connector platforms including Celigo (NetSuite's largest integration partner) and MindCloud, and I also build custom API sync directly when that is the smarter buy. And I'll say it plainly: a prebuilt connector is the right call when it covers your flows. Custom sync earns its keep when volume, cost, or edge cases like inventory ownership, intercompany flows, or POS reality make the connector fight you, not before. I have run both in production for a multi-brand wholesale distributor.
What I connect
Real-time inventory sync
On-hand quantities from NetSuite reflected on the storefront so you stop overselling and stop disappointing customers. Live sync, not a nightly guess that drifts out of date by lunchtime.
Product & catalog sync
New items, pricing, descriptions, images, and metafields flowing from your system of record to Shopify, published to the right sales channels automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand.
Order, fulfillment & invoice flow
Orders from Shopify landing in NetSuite and moving cleanly through fulfillment and invoicing, with the accounting right the first time. On a live build, every webstore order auto-creates its Sales Order, Invoice, and applied Payment, about 1,700 finance transactions a month posting themselves, so the back office isn't reconciling two systems every morning.
Point-of-sale & omnichannel
Retail point-of-sale, the storefront, and the ERP all telling the same story, so a sale in any channel updates inventory and accounting in real time and your numbers finally agree.
Sync that actually holds up
For a multi-brand wholesale distributor, I worked the full length of this connection: real-time inventory sync between NetSuite and Shopify that eliminated overselling, an order and fulfillment flow that ran straight through to invoicing, retail point-of-sale tied back into the ERP, and a detective control that catches any record that slips through. Today ~$170K/mo in e-commerce revenue is invoiced and collected automatically, 95%+ of webstore orders ship same or next day, and the bookkeeping team got about 20 hours a month back. When the two systems disagreed, I traced it to the source and closed the gap. Every time.

The DreamSight difference
It's the pipeline, not the headcount
Integration is unglamorous, exacting work, exactly the kind a billable-hours team drags out. The pipeline is how it ships fast and stays correct.
Solving a business problem well used to take a room of people (analyst, architect, developers, a senior reviewer, QA, DevOps) and the meetings and handoffs between them. I know that model from both sides: I scaled a consulting firm that worked exactly that way, and I ran my own companies on the systems I built myself. So I replaced the room with a delivery pipeline. Thirty years of judgment scopes and reviews every request, and a team of AI agents I built and trained does the volume in between.
It's a real pipeline, in production today, not a slide deck about one. And it isn't tied to any one platform: the same process delivers on whatever systems you already run. The result is simple. I ship in hours what a traditional consulting team takes a week to deliver.
