Netsuite Suitescript Development Agency

Scripting success

Back in 2012 our founding team built the first REST API bundle for Netsuite integration to enable large merchants including Gymshark, Huel and Lounge Underwear to integrate their ecommerce platforms to Netsuite.

As you can imagine this involved a lot of Restlet, Suitelet and Map Reduce script building and optimisation to support such high volumes.

Our team are very well versed in how to squeeze the juice out of Netsuite in terms of performance including how to keep your concurrency / usage costs lean.

What is SuiteScript?

NetSuite SuiteScript is a JavaScript-based scripting platform leveraged to customise and extend the functionality of NetSuite.

We love it because it enables the creation of custom business logic, workflows, and automation to meet unique business needs.

It is part of the NetSuite SuiteCloud platform, which provides tools and resources for Netsuite customisation.

The benefits of SuiteScript

Customisation: Tailor NetSuite to meet your specific business requirements.

Automation: Reduce manual processes through automation.

Integration: Seamlessly connect NetSuite with other platforms or services.

When to Use SuiteScript

Enhancing NetSuite's UI: Build custom forms, portlets, or Suitelet-based pages.

Integrating with other systems: Use RESTlets to expose NetSuite data to external systems.

Large Data Processing: Use Map/Reduce scripts for efficient data processing and scalability.

Adding Business Logic: Add field validations, dynamic field updates, and custom calculations.

Event-Driven Scripting:
SuiteScript supports scripting at various stages of data operations such as before record creation, after save, validation, and deletion.

Different types of scripts can be used depending on the requirement:

  • Client ScriptsExecute on the browser (client-side).
  • Event ScriptsTriggered when records are accessed or saved (server-side).
  • Scheduled ScriptsAutomate batch processes at scheduled intervals.
