Owlery connects to NetSuite through the SuiteTalk REST API and SuiteQL. We pull your orders and item data into Owlery automatically, then design and configure the write-back workflows that fit your business — so your team doesn’t have to.
No NetSuite admin on staff? No problem. Most Owlery customers connect NetSuite without a dedicated NetSuite administrator or IT team. You provide credentials, we handle the rest.

​
What Owlery handles

Everything else:
  • Discovering your configuration: subsidiaries, custom fields, statuses, units of measure, item types, address formats, and operating workflows.
  • Designing the integration: which records to sync, how to map fields, how to route subsidiaries, and which write-back events to enable.
  • Building and testing: configuring mappings, filters, routing, and write-back strategies; testing normal, partial, and exception scenarios.
  • Rolling out and monitoring: coordinating the go-live, backfilling historical data if needed, and monitoring synchronization going forward.
  • Adapting when things change: when your NetSuite fields, roles, subsidiaries, or workflows evolve, Owlery updates the integration.
Owlery adapts to your NetSuite — we don’t ask you to change how your team uses it.

​
Two parts of the integration

The NetSuite integration has two distinct parts, and they can be enabled independently:

Reading data

Owlery pulls orders, items, and facilities from NetSuite automatically. This is hands-free after credentials are connected — no ongoing work from your team.

Writing back

When you’re ready, Owlery designs a best-practice system for creating fulfillments, receipts, and freight updates in NetSuite. We recommend what to enable based on your workflows.
Most teams start with read-only synchronization. Write-back strategies are introduced after your team validates the inbound data — there’s no pressure to enable everything at once.

​
Getting started

Owlery needs three things from you — credentials, a few sample transactions, and a short confirmation call. Everything else is on us.
1

Connect

You provide five token-based values — Account ID, Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, and Token Secret. Connecting NetSuite walks through generating them, and we’re happy to do it with you on a screen share. Owlery verifies access and begins account discovery right away.
2

Design

Share two or three representative PO, SO, or TO numbers. Owlery reviews your transactions, custom fields, statuses, and workflows, then presents a recommended configuration — nothing is needed from your team during this stage.
3

Confirm

Your team reviews the recommendation in a short call and confirms it matches how you actually operate. We adjust anything that doesn’t fit.
4

Go live

Owlery enables the configuration, validates representative records, monitors the first syncs, and adjusts as needed.
Straightforward accounts move through these stages quickly — often within the first week or two. Accounts with many subsidiaries, heavy customization, or complex lot requirements spend longer in the design stage. Owlery tells you what to expect once we’ve seen your account, and the waiting is on our side rather than yours.

​
Frequently asked questions

No. You need someone who can generate API credentials — that’s often an existing NetSuite user with an admin role, a bookkeeper, or even your NetSuite partner. Owlery handles everything after that.
Almost never. Owlery maps your existing records, fields, statuses, and workflows. If a small optional change would improve things, we explain the benefit and the minimal effort involved — but it’s your call.
Absolutely. Inbound synchronization works independently. Individual write-back strategies can be added later, one at a time, as your team gets comfortable.
One connection can route orders from different NetSuite subsidiaries into the correct Owlery organizations. Separate connections are also supported when account boundaries require them.
Owlery does. We own the configuration and work with your designated contact when anything in NetSuite changes.
Yes. Owlery supports full re-syncs and exact-reference lookups for orders outside the normal selection window.
