No More NetSuite: Try Fulfil.io

No More NetSuite: Try Fulfil.io

NetSuite disrupted the ERP space 25 years ago and has become the default option once a company has outgrown QuickBooks.

What we see with our e-commerce clients, however, is that NetSuite is too expensive, too customized, and does not provide nearly enough customer support.

Just as NetSuite’s cloud-based infrastructure once revolutionized the ERP space, we’re now seeing that lighter, more agile, more industry-specific providers are better suited for our e-commerce clients. 

More of our clients are adopting Fulfil and abandoning legacy platforms like NetSuite. Here’s why.

1. Lower Total Cost of Ownership

NetSuite is expensive. Between licensing fees, third-party consultants, customizations, and implementation costs, total spend on the platform can spiral.

Fulfil offers a leaner, more transparent pricing model that aligns better with growing e-commerce brands. It’s built with modern infrastructure tailored to e-commerce/retail companies, meaning fewer customizations are needed out of the box and integrations are smoother. For companies focused on scale, this translates to significantly lower total cost of ownership without sacrificing functionality.

2. Superior Customer Support (No Outsourcing)

One of the most common complaints we hear from NetSuite users is around support. Much of NetSuite’s customer support is outsourced, leading to slow response times and inconsistent expertise.

Fulfil takes a hands-on, in-house approach. Their team deeply understands both their product and the needs of e-commerce operators. Users consistently report faster issue resolution, proactive account management, and a stronger sense of partnership. That kind of support is invaluable when your business runs on real-time operations and inventory accuracy.

3. AI-Driven Insights and User-Friendly Reporting

In today’s data-driven world, being able to access, analyze, and act on your business data shouldn’t require a data scientist or a third-party consultant.

Fulfil leverages AI to deliver smart insights, predictive analytics, and automated workflows tailored to e-commerce. Even more impressive? It empowers users to build their own reports using their AI copilot – no custom scripts or outside developers required.

For finance and operations leaders, this means less time hunting for answers and more time focusing on strategy.

I hear you, Sean. I’ve encountered many NetSuite environments where the implementation was more “Frankenstein” than functional. Often, it’s not the platform; it’s the setup. With the right customization and solid integration (Celigo done right can be a game-changer), NetSuite can scale effectively for SMBs. It’s great to see new ERPs challenging the space; it keeps everyone honest and evolving. I appreciate your input. It’s always good to see real conversations about fit, not just hype. 👏

For the linkedin record, NetSuite has been the bane of my existence and finance career. Does anybody disagree?
