Connect commercial and shop context
Link the customer order to jobs and outside operations without forcing every batch into a single header status.
Metal fabrication and machining
NetSuite and Postgres two-way sync for machining operations
Connect NetSuite order context with the Postgres records your shop uses for jobs and outside processing. Stacksync fits manufacturers that need customer service and purchasing to see current batch progress without reconstructing it from spreadsheets. The first scope should preserve sent, received and accepted quantities while keeping ERP transaction authority explicit.
The tracker says a batch returned, but nobody can tell whether the full quantity passed inspection or which customer order it now supports.

When this fits
Built for this operating problem
Operations leaders, production planners and IT teams at US metal fabricators and machine shops with 100–1,000 employees.
Expose partial progress
Keep returned and quality-accepted quantities distinguishable so planners do not schedule work against unusable parts.
Preserve the application boundary
Operational evidence can be synchronized while receipts or financial adjustments remain subject to verified ERP operations and approval.
The process, end to end
Follow the work across systems
a machine shop tracks coating and heat-treatment milestones in an internal application while finance and orders stay in NetSuite. A useful evaluation follows a split return and a rejection through both views, showing the actual outstanding quantity and the owner of the next action.
Scope your implementation
Bring these details to the demo
- A sample order with more than one operation or outside-processing batch.
- The Postgres table model and stable references linking it to NetSuite.
- Receiving and quality rules defining when returned work becomes usable.
Review current platform pricing alongside the records, volume, and actions in your process. Use your own operating baseline to evaluate the economics.

Implementation guides for your team
- Metal fabrication: connect Salesforce quotes to Acumatica job-ready orders
A fabricator's Salesforce win should reach Acumatica as one order line carrying the chosen quantity break and drawing revision, with job readiness reported back separately.
- Machine shops: connect NetSuite and Postgres outside-processing status
Machine shops that track coating and plating batches in Postgres can keep NetSuite order context attached to each sent, returned and inspected quantity.
- Metal fabrication: link Dynamics order demand and material certificates in SQL Server
A material-evidence view tells planners which received heat each certificate covers and which order demand uses it, so a file on record never stands in for a quality decision.

Common evaluation questions
Does this replace the shop application?
No. The initial use case connects the records and ownership already used by the shop, with explicit relationships and tested update behavior.
What would make this a poor first pilot?
An operational tracker with no stable job or batch identity needs data-model work before dependable synchronization can be demonstrated.
What should operations measure?
Measure time spent finding batch status, unexplained quantity balances and readiness corrections caused by confusing receipt with quality acceptance.
Should the NetSuite and Postgres connection come before any follow-up automation?
Yes. Two-way sync between NetSuite and Postgres comes first, so the customer order, job, subcontract operation and sent batch share stable references and customer service reads returned, accepted and outstanding quantities against the right order. Workflows follow once purchasing wants a late batch tied to the next operation with one buyer owning the supplier conversation. Genies are next, when estimating wants RFQ drawings and quantity breaks assembled into a reviewable packet. EDI is last, for customer PO lines and releases that need their identity kept before they become demand.
