NetSuite consultancy · with AI where it helps

What's slow, manual or error-prone in your business?

NetSuite consulting and development, with AI where it helps. Get an honest view on whether better configuration, AI or something simpler is the fix, from the people who do the work.

Over 9 years of NetSuite experience, functional and technical. Implementations run from discovery to go-live, and integrations with systems including Salesforce, GoCardless, Stripe and Bamboo.

Where could AI help in your business?

Five quick questions about one repetitive job, about two minutes. Nothing is stored.

Where it usually starts

Most projects begin with a sentence like one of these.

You don't need to know whether the answer is NetSuite, an integration or AI. Describe the problem and the answer follows from there.

Select a problem to see how it is solved.

"Month-end takes far too long."
Usually a process and data problem before it is a software one. Fix the process in NetSuite, then automate what's left.
"Our systems don't talk to each other."
Integrations with your CRM, payment gateway or HR system, built to fail loudly rather than silently.
"Someone checks the same things by hand every week."
Often a good fit for AI: a model does the routine checks inside guardrails you set, and a person handles the exceptions.
"NetSuite doesn't quite fit how we work."
Review, reconfigure, and only script where standard functionality runs out.
"We have that in a big spreadsheet."
First work out why it lives there: a gap in the system, a workaround that stuck, or something only one person understands. Then fit it into NetSuite properly.
"We need something that doesn't exist yet."
Occasionally the answer is a small piece of bespoke software, built around one job.

Core of the work

NetSuite set up properly, and extended only where it has to be.

This is the foundation everything else sits on. The process side is owned end to end, from requirements and finance process design to configuration, data migration and UAT. Because the work is technically fluent too, solutions stay configured in the platform rather than scripted around it.

Two recent projects

Credit agency integration on a NetSuite customer record

Credit checking, inside the customer record

A customer was running credit checks by hand, one account at a time. We integrated NetSuite directly with Creditsafe, so every customer record now carries its current score, company history and a recommended credit limit. When a position changes, such as a CCJ or a falling score, NetSuite flags it and tells finance the same day, not at the next manual review.

Bank detail submission form

Bank details, recorded securely

A customer was receiving bank details by email and keying them in by hand: a fraud risk and a chore. We built NetSuite portals where vendors and employees enter their own details and attach evidence such as a bank letter. The change goes through approval before anything is paid, and nothing sensitive travels through an inbox.

AI, built into NetSuite

The starting point is the work your team does by hand every week: find the parts a model can reliably take over, then wire it into NetSuite. Bring your own AI provider or get a recommendation. Either way, you can see what it did and why.

  1. It reads your data

    Orders, records, transactions and the notes people leave on them, straight from NetSuite with no re-keying. It only gets access to the data you choose.

  2. It makes the call

    The model weighs each record against rules you've agreed. Anything outside those rules goes to a person.

  3. It gets it done

    The record is updated or flagged, and your team is told in Slack, Teams or email. Every action is logged so you can check its work.

In practice

AI, plugged into a live NetSuite account

A customer approached us because their team was spending hours each week reviewing routine transactions that almost always passed. We connected an AI model to their NetSuite. It reads each record as it arrives, makes the routine calls within guardrails the finance team set, writes the outcome back, and hands anything unusual to a person with a note explaining what it saw.

The reviews nobody wanted to do are done before anyone gets in.

Sometimes the thing you need doesn't exist yet.

When that happens, it gets built from scratch, including AI that can see, generate and render. Each one is a standalone tool designed around a single job.

Bathroom rendering tool: a wireframe of the room beside the photographic render

Case study · rendering tool

See the room before it's built

A bathroom retailer approached us wanting their customers to see their actual room with the products they were considering, not a stock photo. We built a tool that places a product catalogue onto a real floorplan and renders it photographically. Swap a tap, a tile or a finish and the room redraws in seconds.

You talk to the people who actually build it.

Lystor Consulting is a NetSuite consultancy built around a simple idea: the people who scope the work are the people who deliver it, and they are still around when something needs looking at a year later. Specialists join when a job needs them, but never more layers than the work requires.

No account manager relaying half your brief to a developer you'll never meet. Whoever scopes your project owns it, including when NetSuite releases an update or something needs fixing later.
