UK NetSuite Technical Specialist

SuiteScript development and rescue for teams without an in-house specialist.

Whether you need something built from scratch or something fixed that's breaking everything — every engagement starts with a defined scope, ends with a concrete deliverable, and is priced on a fixed or capped basis.

The problem

You have a new requirement — a multi-step approval workflow, a complex integration, a scheduled automation — and you want it built correctly in SuiteScript 2.1 from the start, not retrofitted into old patterns.

The outcome

Bespoke SuiteScript 2.1 Development
New automation built from scratch in SuiteScript 2.1. Approval workflows, scheduled batch processing, RESTlet APIs, third-party integrations, custom Suitelets — designed with governance limits in mind, documented, and delivered with a test suite.

Deliverables

  • Technical design document before any code is written
  • SuiteScript 2.1 implementation across appropriate script types
  • Governance review — execution limits, script types, concurrency
  • Unit tests and sandbox validation
  • Deployment guide and handover documentation your team can use

The problem

SuiteScript 1.0 and legacy scripts still running in production — written by people who have left the business, undocumented, and untouchable without risk.

The outcome

SuiteScript Audit and Modernisation
A clear picture of what your codebase contains, the risks it carries, and a prioritised migration plan. Legacy scripts replaced with SuiteScript 2.1 patterns that are maintainable, upgrade-safe, and documented.

Deliverables

  • Full codebase audit with risk scoring per script
  • Documentation of business logic embedded in existing scripts
  • SuiteScript 2.1 rewrites prioritised by business impact
  • Testing suite for each migrated script
  • Handover documentation your team can actually use

The problem

Integrations that fail silently, produce duplicate records, or require someone to manually check logs to know if data transferred. Your ERP data is unreliable because of it.

The outcome

Integration Rescue and Rebuild
Integrations that fail loudly, recover cleanly, and produce an audit trail. Whether it is a broken RESTlet, a fragile third-party connector, or an unmaintained middleware layer — diagnosed, fixed, and documented.

Deliverables

  • Root cause analysis of current integration failures
  • Rebuild using RESTlets, SuiteTalk, or direct API as appropriate
  • Error handling, alerting, and retry logic
  • Idempotency controls to prevent duplicate records
  • Monitoring approach and runbook for your internal team

The problem

A new requirement — additional subsidiaries, a complex pricing model, a new transaction type — that your current consultancy has quoted at an eye-watering figure with low confidence in the outcome.

The outcome

Technical Architecture for Complex Customisations
A designed, not just built, solution. I scope the technical approach, validate it against NetSuite's governance model, and implement it in a way that won't need to be rebuilt when the next requirement arrives.

Deliverables

  • Technical design document before any code is written
  • Governance review — script types, concurrency limits, upgrade risk
  • SuiteScript 2.1 implementation with inline documentation
  • Unit tests and sandbox validation
  • Deployment guide and post-go-live support window

The problem

Every NetSuite upgrade produces a list of broken things. Your customisation layer was never designed with upgrade safety in mind, and the cost of each release is growing.

The outcome

Upgrade-Safe SuiteScript Governance
Identification and refactoring of upgrade-unsafe patterns, plus a set of standards your team (or future consultants) can follow. The goal is fewer surprises at release time, and a codebase you can confidently hand off.

Deliverables

  • Audit of scripts using deprecated APIs or unsafe patterns
  • Refactoring to current NetSuite platform standards
  • SuiteScript coding standards document for your organisation
  • Pre-upgrade checklist tailored to your customisation layer
  • Guidance on which customisations should be replaced by native functionality
How an engagement works

Defined scope. Concrete deliverables. No surprises.

Every engagement follows the same structure. You know what you're buying before any work starts.

01

Technical Review Call

A 30-minute scoping call to understand the problem, assess complexity, and determine whether this is a good fit. No pitch, no proposal until I understand what you're dealing with.

02

Scoped Proposal

A written proposal with a defined scope, clear deliverables, and a fixed or capped price. No ambiguity about what you're buying.

03

Discovery and Diagnosis

Access to your sandbox and production environments. I read the code, run the integrations, and document what I find before recommending any fix. The diagnosis is part of the deliverable.

04

Build and Review

Development in sandbox with a defined review point before any production deployment. You see the work before it goes live.

05

Deployment and Handover

Production deployment with a monitored go-live window. Handover documentation written for your team, not for the next consultant.

What this practice does not cover

Clarity on scope matters. These are not services I provide, and you deserve to know before booking a call.

  • Functional implementation — requirements workshops, module selection, business process design
  • Configuration-only work with no SuiteScript or integration component
  • General NetSuite admin, user management, or standard reporting
  • Full-time embedded resource or permanent placement

Have a specific problem in mind?

The technical review call is 30 minutes. You describe what's broken or at risk — I tell you whether I can help and what that would look like.

If it's not a fit, I'll say so clearly and suggest where to look instead.
