If you’re using NetSuite and Shopify, you might have come across a common issue: getting the platforms to work together. While NetSuite excels at financial management and Shopify powers ecommerce operations, connecting the two often leads to headaches, delays, and missed insights. 

This is a typical challenge brands face, and Daasity offers a practical solution—with real results from ThirdLove, a leading online lingerie retailer that successfully synced the two platforms.

Why Connect NetSuite and Shopify?

Most brands using both NetSuite and Shopify know they need to connect these platforms, but might not realize just how much value this integration can unlock. Here's what you can achieve when your NetSuite and Shopify data work together:

• Get accurate financial reporting by consolidating all your data into a single system, giving you a comprehensive view of your business's financial health and revenue
• Enhance customer experiences by identifying trends, preferences, and purchase history—enabling personalized marketing through email, SMS, social media, and ads
• Establish a single source of truth for your data, improving accuracy and consistency across your entire business
• Drive growth and achieve operational excellence through better data-driven decisions

Common Integration Challenges

Connecting NetSuite and Shopify might seem straightforward, but many brands discover it's more complex than expected. What starts as a simple need to sync data between platforms often turns into a substantial technical challenge.

Why?

First, custom integrations are tricky and time-consuming. Most brands start here, but soon discover that getting data to flow correctly between platforms leads to inconsistencies and delays. Even basic data syncing becomes a challenge: orders don't process on time, inventory numbers get outdated, and financial reports don't match up.

Then there's the data transformation problem. Shopify's data needs significant restructuring to work with NetSuite's model. This isn't just a one-time fix, it requires ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure everything stays aligned. NetSuite’s analytics platform often can't provide the detailed insights you need, especially for specific metrics like product performance or customer behavior.

The costs add up quickly too. You might need a dedicated development team, ongoing maintenance support, and regular troubleshooting. As your business grows, these challenges only intensify. What works for moderate transaction volumes might crumble during high-traffic periods or when processing large amounts of data—exactly when you need reliable data the most.

Just ask ThirdLove, one of the largest online intimate apparel brands in the US. They faced similar challenges with scattered data across NetSuite and Shopify. 

How ThirdLove Unified Their NetSuite and Shopify Data

As ThirdLove's business grew, they found themselves juggling data between Shopify Plus for ecommerce and NetSuite for inventory management, wholesale operations, and dropshipping partnerships with major retailers like Neiman Marcus and QVC. Their existing tools weren't cutting it—providing delayed insights and creating more headaches than solutions.

Enter Daasity. 

ThirdLove now has a unified system that seamlessly merges their inventory, sales, and returns data from all sources, including NetSuite and Shopify Plus (and their 3PL provider, Loop Returns). 

This gives them clear visibility into stock levels, returns, incoming inventory, customer behavior, and sales performance across all channels. The result? Streamlined inventory management, enhanced financial forecasting, and the ability to make faster, data-driven decisions.
