Services

Every service you'd expect from a NetSuite firm — delivered directly.

A focused service catalog from Shahin Zakizadeh — NetSuite Developer, Consultant, ERP Architect, and Freelancer with several years of hands-on experience. Each service is scoped as a fixed-price package where possible, and billed hourly where scope is genuinely unknown.

Automation

NetSuite Automation

Remove manual work from your operations.

See strategy

NetSuite Automation Setup

End-to-end automation of a specific NetSuite process — scoped, built, tested, and deployed so it runs reliably without manual babysitting.

What it includes

  • Process discovery and written automation spec
  • Workflow, SuiteScript, or hybrid build
  • Error handling, logging, and notifications
  • UAT scripts and go-live support

Problems it solves

  • Repetitive data entry that burns hours every week
  • Inconsistent approvals across users or subsidiaries
  • Steps routinely forgotten or performed out of order

Expected outcomes

  • Automation that handles the happy path and the edge cases
  • Audit trail and alerting when something genuinely needs a human
  • Hours of repetitive work returned to your team each week

Why Shahin

Several years of hands-on SuiteScript and workflow work means the automation is built to match how NetSuite actually behaves under load — not just how a slide deck says it should.

Workflow & Approval Automation

Multi-stage approval flows, auto-transitions, and conditional routing — implemented in the native Workflow engine where it fits, and SuiteScript where it does not.

What it includes

  • Stateful approval design with rejection and escalation paths
  • Role- and amount-based routing rules
  • Email templates and in-system notifications
  • Admin-friendly documentation

Problems it solves

  • Approvals stuck in email threads
  • No visibility into where a record is in the approval chain
  • Inconsistent rules between teams and subsidiaries

Expected outcomes

  • Faster, more predictable approvals
  • Clean audit trail for finance and compliance
  • Fewer escalations that exist only because the system is unclear

Why Shahin

Direct delivery means the workflow reflects your real org chart and tolerances — not a generic template.

Order-to-Cash Automation

Tighten the path from sales order to cash application — automated fulfillment triggers, billing runs, invoice grouping, and revenue recognition touchpoints.

What it includes

  • Sales order to invoice automation rules
  • Billing schedule and recurring billing configuration
  • Custom invoice grouping by customer, project, or billing address
  • Exception reporting for stuck transactions

Problems it solves

  • Manual invoicing that lags behind fulfillment
  • Billing errors caused by inconsistent customer setups
  • Missed renewals and recurring charges

Expected outcomes

  • Shorter days-sales-outstanding
  • Fewer billing disputes
  • Finance team focused on exceptions, not data entry

Why Shahin

Deep exposure to real NetSuite billing edge cases — proration, credit memos, multi-subsidiary tax — informs a design that holds up in production.

Billing & Invoicing Process Improvements

Targeted improvements to an existing NetSuite billing process — invoice grouping, tax handling, credit memos, and reconciliation against upstream usage data.

What it includes

  • Current-state analysis of billing data flow
  • Fix list prioritized by revenue impact
  • SuiteScript or configuration changes
  • Reconciliation reports for finance

Problems it solves

  • Billing totals that don't match upstream usage or contracts
  • Manual credit memo creation at month-end
  • Tax miscalculations on cross-province or cross-border sales

Expected outcomes

  • Clean, reconcilable monthly billing runs
  • Credit memos handled programmatically, not manually
  • Confidence in the numbers you send to customers

Why Shahin

Experience with legacy and modern NetSuite billing scripts — including telecom-style usage billing — means fewer surprises and faster diagnosis.

SuiteScript

SuiteScript Development & Customization

Custom logic, built the right way.

See strategy

Custom SuiteScript Development

Purpose-built SuiteScript 2.1 code for the logic that native NetSuite can't cover — designed for clarity, governance, and long-term maintainability.

What it includes

  • User event, client, scheduled, map/reduce, Suitelet, and RESTlet scripts
  • Modular code with shared libraries, not copy-paste
  • Governance units profiled and documented
  • README with deployment and parameter details

  • Undocumented scripts no one wants to touch
  • Performance issues from ungoverned scheduled jobs

Expected outcomes

  • Predictable, performant custom logic
  • Code your next developer can actually read
  • A SuiteScript codebase that scales with your business

Why Shahin

SuiteScript is the core of the practice, not a side skill — expect thoughtful architecture, not throwaway scripts.

Saved Searches & Reporting Solutions

Searches and reports that answer real business questions — tuned for speed, with formula columns, conditional highlighting, and scheduled distribution when needed.

What it includes

  • Saved search design, tuning, and documentation
  • Formula fields and conditional formatting
  • Scheduled email delivery with filtered audiences
  • Handoff to dashboards where relevant

Problems it solves

  • Reports that are slow or time out
  • Dozens of near-duplicate saved searches across users
  • No single source of truth for operational KPIs

Expected outcomes

  • A curated library of saved searches that leadership trusts
  • Faster load times and cleaner filters
  • Reports that answer the actual question, not a related one

Why Shahin

Strong grasp of NetSuite search joins, formulas, and performance patterns — shortens the distance from question to answer.

NetSuite Dashboard Design

Role-based dashboards that surface the right KPIs to the right users — combining saved searches, KPI meters, reminders, and custom portlets.

What it includes

  • Dashboard strategy per role (exec, ops, finance, sales)
  • KPI and trend graph configuration
  • Custom portlets via SuiteScript where needed
  • Rollout and user training notes

Problems it solves

  • Users logging in and not knowing what to look at
  • KPIs that aren't visible until month-end
  • Dashboards cluttered with irrelevant widgets

Expected outcomes

  • Every role sees their own priority metrics
  • Leadership gets daily signal instead of monthly surprises
  • Higher adoption of NetSuite across the business

Why Shahin

Dashboards are designed around decisions, not widgets — each metric earns its place on the screen.

Custom Forms, Records & Logic

Custom record types, custom fields, sublists, and form logic that turn NetSuite into a system that matches your actual operating model.

What it includes

  • Custom record and field design
  • Form layouts per role and transaction type
  • Client-side UX improvements
  • Permission and role alignment

Problems it solves

  • Data captured inconsistently across departments
  • Forms that slow down high-volume data entry

Expected outcomes

  • Forms that are fast to use and hard to misuse
  • Data quality that holds up over time
  • Fewer support tickets from frontline users

Why Shahin

A developer's eye for data modeling combined with a consultant's eye for how users actually behave.

Performance Improvements & Troubleshooting

Diagnose slow scripts, governance failures, and mysterious production issues — then fix the root cause and harden the code against regressions.

What it includes

  • Script and search performance profiling
  • Governance and concurrency review
  • Root-cause writeup and remediation
  • Monitoring and alerting recommendations

Problems it solves

  • Scheduled scripts failing at month-end
  • User event scripts slowing down transaction entry
  • Random errors with no clear reproduction steps

Expected outcomes

  • Stable, predictable script behaviour
  • Documented fixes your team can maintain
  • Fewer fire drills

Why Shahin

Debugging production NetSuite is a craft — several years of real incident work sharpens the instincts a junior resource doesn't have.

Implementation

NetSuite Implementation & Integration

Go-live support and integrations that hold up in production.
