The beginning:
In 2014, Ficosota was looking to implement Oracle NetSuite ERP in their US company, after they had chosen NetSuite as one of the fastest growing and innovative softwares on the market – they contacted us to see if we could participate in the implementation. The plan was that the system will be implemented in Phases in both US’ and Romania’s subsidiaries.

The decision to sign a contract with NetSuite for the software was taken in Sep 2014 – in January 2015, the US company had its successful Go – Live with the system and the team started using it for their daily processes.

Several months after that was given the start of the mutual work for the implementation of NetSuite n the Romanian company. The requirements were scoped and after some more complex processes were custom built for Ficosota Marketing S.R.L, the company started using the system in April 2016. After that, several different custom processes were built in order to streamline and automate the tasks where possible – EDI integrations for customer’s order, processes related to automated registration of documents within the system , as well as exporting documents in various formats to ensure some integration with other systems..
