You’re making the leap to a cloud ERP, ready to sign up with NetSuite, and thinking ahead to implementation. Have you thought about what you are going to do about shipping? As the 2017 NetSuite SuiteCloud Partner of the Year, we know NetSuite is a solid ERP choice. But If shipping is central to your operations, you may want to consider more than the starter shipping features in basic NetSuite.
Fortunately, Pacejet has been a NetSuite partner for over nine years and integrates more shipping carriers to NetSuite than any other solution, helping NetSuite users just like you manage millions of shipments and quotes every year. Read on to learn more about our NetSuite shipping integration capabilities.
As you map out your NetSuite shipping integration, you can leverage Pacejet's proven experience and advanced cloud shipping software platform, starting with these key considerations.
Key Considerations for Your NetSuite Shipping Implementation:
- Do you need automatic printing of labels and paperwork?
- Do you need freight quoting with service fee calculations?
- Do you need integration of LTL, 3PL, or other parcel carriers?
- Can carrier rate shopping reduce your costs?
- Do you need control of mixed freight terms for billing?
- Do you need multiple carrier accounts by facility or customer?
- Do you need support for integrated electronic scales?
- Do you need bill of lading, export forms, other paperwork?
- What type of packing or consolidation does your process require?
- Will you need shipping cost vs. price or other reporting?
- Will you be using other NetSuite apps for scanning, WMS, or EDI?
Seeing all of these key considerations in one place can be overwhelming, but Pacejet is here to help. We’ve created two easy to understand tables to help you better understand your NetSuite shipping software versus shipping with Pacejet through your NetSuite ERP.
Below are our charts that highlight the business benefits of using the Pacejet NetSuite shipping integration within your NetSuite ERP environment. To download our tables, click the button below.
The Pacejet Difference Versus Legacy Software
Maybe you're still using an older third-party NetSuite shipping integration, or a "free" carrier application bolted onto NetSuite with ODBC. Legacy software or single-carrier applications might have worked fine when you first started with NetSuite or were using only one or two carriers, but stepping up to Pacejet's modern, cloud-based platform can offer some major new features and benefits:

The Pacejet Difference Versus Parcel Basics
Maybe your team opted to go with the parcel basics available from NetSuite. Going with the starter functionality for UPS, USPS, and FedEx might work fine with limited volume, a focus on basic carrier services, and domestic-only shipping. But as your business grows and shipping becomes more service-oriented, you may need the deeper UPS, USPS, FedEx features and full multi-carrier capabilities for NetSuite offered by the Pacejet NetSuite shipping integration:
