STACK PATTERN

eLogii + NetSuite: When to Add eLogii to NetSuite

NetSuite is the ERP and system of record: items, customers, sales orders, inventory, financial close. eLogii is the routing and field execution layer that turns NetSuite sales orders into optimized routes, live ETAs, driver workflows and proof of delivery, then writes the completion data back. Two systems, two jobs. The integration runs over SuiteTalk REST on the NetSuite side and eLogii’s REST API on the other, typically delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.

Where eLogii sits
Past the ERP
NetSuite plans the order, holds the ledger, manages inventory. eLogii plans the route, dispatches the driver and captures execution data. Two APIs, two systems of record for two different problems.
Optimization depth
2 + 6
Two engines (Default and Advanced) and six configurable modes: three assignment modes plus three load-balancing modes, all callable via REST.
What flows back to NetSuite
POD + ETAs
Proof of delivery, delivery status, driver-collected forms or payments, captured in the eLogii app and written back via SuiteTalk into your existing NetSuite workflows.
Pricing
From $3k/mo
Platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules. Runs alongside what you are already paying NetSuite.

What each side owns

NetSuite and eLogii sit in different layers of the same stack. NetSuite is the ERP: items, customers, sales orders, inventory, financial close, multi-subsidiary reporting. eLogii is the routing and field execution layer: the route plan, the driver app, the live ETAs, the proof of delivery, the customer-facing tracking. Both products expose mature REST APIs, and the integration between them is a normal piece of NetSuite-side work.

NetSuite

The ERP and system of record
  • Item master, BOMs, lots and serials, pricing
  • Customer master, AR, AP, GL, tax, multi-subsidiary close
  • Sales orders, purchase orders, work orders
  • Inventory management, Advanced Inventory, demand planning
  • Optional NetSuite WMS and Pick, Pack and Ship for warehouse-floor workflow
  • SuiteCloud platform: SuiteScript, SuiteTalk REST + SOAP, RESTlets, SuiteFlow, SuiteAnalytics
  • Shipping integration for parcel carrier rate-shop and label-print

eLogii

The routing and field execution layer
  • Route optimization across vehicles, depots, capacities, time windows, skills and SLAs
  • Two engines, six configurable modes, all REST-callable
  • Driver mobile app: navigation, configurable POD, photo, signature, conditional steps
  • Live driver GPS, route ETA stream, branded customer tracking pages
  • Slot booking co-pilot returns only delivery slots that fit the optimized plan
  • 70+ REST endpoints, full-parity sandbox, seven webhook events including live GPS
  • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified

In the combined pattern, NetSuite stays the system of record for items, customers, orders, inventory and financial close. Sales orders flow from NetSuite into eLogii as routable tasks; eLogii optimizes against vehicles, depots, time windows, capacities, skills and SLAs; the driver app captures POD, photos, signatures and any custom forms; completion writes back to NetSuite so AR can invoice and inventory can clear. The integration runs over both products’ REST APIs.

A typical NetSuite + eLogii data flow

End to end, how a delivery order moves from NetSuite to a completed POD and back into NetSuite for invoicing and inventory. The exact wiring depends on your tenant and the integration platform your team uses, but the shape is the same in every deployment.

  • Order capture. Sales order created in NetSuite: customer, item, quantity, requested delivery date, address, any special-handling flags. Standard NetSuite workflow.
  • Push or pull to eLogii. Integration job either pulls open delivery orders on a schedule via SuiteTalk REST, or pushes via a SuiteScript user-event triggered on order approval.
  • Ingest into eLogii. Orders land in eLogii as tasks via POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany, with the NetSuite internal ID held as external_id so every eLogii object can be traced back to its NetSuite source record.
  • Optimization. Planner runs optimization in eLogii. Vehicle capacities, depot start and end, customer time windows, driver skills and shift hours, SLA windows, and rule-based exceptions all enforced. Two engines, six configurable modes.
  • Dispatch and execution. Routes dispatched to driver app. Driver navigates, completes stops, captures POD, photos, signatures and any custom form data. Live GPS streamed via webhook.
  • Write-back to NetSuite. On completion (or per-stop, depending on your integration), the integration writes back to NetSuite: delivery status, POD references, completion timestamps, any driver-collected cash or payments. AR invoices, inventory clears, customer record updates.

Variations on the same pattern: multi-depot picking where NetSuite Locations drive depot selection; multi-day jobs for field service where the eLogii task represents the visit and the NetSuite project represents the engagement; customer cancellations from NetSuite triggering eLogii re-optimization. None of these require special connector logic; they are normal mappings across two REST APIs.

Where NetSuite’s built-in delivery features stop

NetSuite is a deep ERP and ships modules that touch the delivery problem, but none of them are route optimization. Drawing the line clearly matters when you are scoping eLogii alongside NetSuite:

  • NetSuite WMS and Pick, Pack and Ship are warehouse-floor workflow: wave management, picking strategies, packing stations, shipment confirmation. They sit upstream of routing. Once the load is on the truck, NetSuite WMS is done; routing starts.
  • NetSuite Shipping Integration covers parcel-carrier rate-shop and label-print: UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS. Designed for parcel handoff, not own-fleet driver dispatch. If your delivery is all parcel, NetSuite Shipping is fine on its own; eLogii is not the right tool.
  • NetSuite Advanced Inventory covers forecasting, demand planning and replenishment. Inventory-side, not routing-side. eLogii reads inventory state from NetSuite; it does not own it.
  • Customer Center shows order and shipment status to your end customers via the standard portal. It does not surface live driver ETAs, branded delivery tracking pages, embedded NPS, or self-service rescheduling.
  • No native route optimization engine. NetSuite has no built-in constraint-aware multi-stop route optimizer. Customers running own delivery fleets typically add a routing layer alongside the ERP; that is the gap eLogii fills.

This is not a criticism. NetSuite is an ERP and was never built to be a routing layer. The point is to be precise about where its features stop, so the integration with eLogii has a clean seam.

Jord Van Dijk, J-Club

We’d never go back to the way we were planning before. eLogii is the backbone as well as the brain of our planning operations, translating actively to our bottom line.

Implementation patterns

Three shapes cover almost every NetSuite + eLogii deployment. The right one depends on what your NetSuite team already has in place and which side of the seam you want the orchestration logic to live on.

  • SuiteScript + RESTlet talking to eLogii REST. Built by the customer’s in-house NetSuite team or a SuiteCloud-certified implementation partner. SuiteScript user-event triggers fire on sales order approval and push to eLogii. Scheduled SuiteScript or webhook receivers pull completion data back from eLogii. Typical time: 3 to 5 weeks alongside the rest of an eLogii rollout.
  • Your existing iPaaS as the integration broker. If you already run an iPaaS, it can broker eLogii alongside NetSuite. eLogii has REST + JSON APIs, a sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and publicly documented endpoints.
  • NetSuite implementation partner delivers it. Most large NetSuite customers have a SuiteCloud-certified partner that already understands the tenant. eLogii’s REST API is documented openly so a NetSuite partner can scope and deliver the bidirectional sync as part of their existing engagement.

What this looks like for distribution vs field service customers

Two common shapes for customers running NetSuite alongside eLogii. Same underlying pattern, different surface.

Distribution on NetSuite

Wholesale food and drink, building materials, bathroom and kitchen, pharma, grocery, parcel. NetSuite owns items, lots, batches, expiry, pricing, customer master, delivery addresses, sales orders, inventory and financial close. eLogii owns the route plan across the fleet, vehicle and capacity and time-window optimization, the driver mobile app for POD and pallet-level signing, the live customer tracking, and the slot booking on the storefront. Typical reach is own-fleet distribution operations with 50+ in the field, multi-depot picking and routing, and recurring weekly or monthly delivery patterns. Outcome shape from current customers: Brymec lifted productivity 30% and routing efficiency 20%; ATS Building Products improved deliveries per route by ~98%; Porcelanosa runs 95%+ ETA accuracy on daily distribution.

Field service on NetSuite

Less common pattern, because most field service operations run a dedicated FSM in front of NetSuite for work-order management. Where NetSuite is the financial backbone for field service, eLogii sits as the routing depth layer, often alongside an FSM in front (Simpro, Joblogic, ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, MS Dynamics 365 Field Service). NetSuite handles service contracts, billable work, invoicing and parts inventory; the FSM (if present) handles work-order workflow; eLogii handles multi-day jobs, multi-technician crews, recurring service patterns and the driver mobile app. Bristow & Sutor runs 200+ enforcement agents and 200,000+ case visits routed annually on eLogii; Vergo runs 400 technicians.

Pricing and time to live

eLogii runs alongside NetSuite; nothing changes on the NetSuite side. eLogii pricing starts from $3,000 per month as a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required. Each band includes a quota; cost steps up when the operation crosses a band, not when you add an individual seat. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months, and combined NetSuite + eLogii rollouts (including the integration) complete in 3 to 5 weeks. NetSuite pricing is its own thing and is not affected by adding eLogii.

When adding eLogii alongside NetSuite makes sense

Stay on NetSuite alone if

  • You ship parcel-only via UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS and NetSuite’s shipping integration covers everything you need
  • Your delivery operation is below 50 in the field, with simple single-day routes a planner can lay out by hand
  • You do not need live driver GPS, branded customer tracking, or slot booking on top of the standard Customer Center
  • You have no recurring service patterns or multi-day jobs that need real constraint-aware optimization

Add eLogii alongside NetSuite if

  • You run 50+ in the field on an own delivery fleet or service team
  • You need real route optimization with vehicle capacity, time windows, skills and SLA constraints, not just stop sequencing
  • You need a dedicated driver mobile app with configurable POD, photos, signatures and conditional outcomes
  • You want live ETAs, branded tracking and self-service rescheduling on top of what NetSuite gives you today
  • You need multi-day, multi-depot or recurring-pattern routing the ERP layer was never designed for
  • You want pricing transparency and an integration live in weeks, not quarters
Anthony O’Keeffe, Bristow & Sutor

We have been extremely impressed with the results from eLogii so far. The solution is powerful and the team have found it extremely intuitive and easy to get going with. We signed a multi-year agreement with eLogii and are looking forward to deepening our relationship with them over the next years.

Adding eLogii alongside NetSuite

Three steps for teams whose delivery or field execution problem has outgrown what NetSuite’s built-in workflow covers, and who want to keep NetSuite for items, customers, orders, inventory and financial close while adding eLogii for routing and execution on top.

Map the data model

Item master, customer addresses, sales orders, depots (NetSuite Locations) and vehicles inventoried. SuiteTalk REST queries return the open delivery book; mapping to eLogii task fields documented end to end. Custom NetSuite fields surfaced as eLogii custom fields. Sandbox connectivity proved out on both sides before any production data moves.

Weeks 1–2

Configure & simulate

Custom data simulation against your historical NetSuite delivery book so you can validate the modeling and project savings before go-live. Side by side: what your planners produce today vs. what eLogii produces with the same orders. Approve the optimizer settings and the write-back fields.

Weeks 2–3

Phased go-live

Start with one business unit, depot or region. Drivers onboarded onto the eLogii app. Webhook stream wired to your integration layer. POD and completion data writing back to NetSuite for AR and inventory. Expand to the rest of the operation once the first cohort is steady. Most teams complete the transition in 3 to 5 weeks total.

Weeks 3–5

Unimasters runs eLogii across a multi-country operation and achieved 50% less planning time and 49% fewer service calls. Multi-country rollouts deploy in weeks, not quarters.

Frequently asked questions

How does eLogii integrate with NetSuite?

Through both products’ REST APIs. NetSuite exposes SuiteTalk REST plus SuiteScript, RESTlets and a Webhooks Plug-in for outbound events; eLogii’s REST API has 70+ endpoints, ApiKey auth, a full-parity sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and seven webhook event types including Driver/Task Tracking Update with live GPS. Typical pattern: open delivery orders flow from NetSuite to eLogii (pulled on a schedule or pushed via a SuiteScript user-event on order approval); eLogii runs the optimization and dispatches the driver app; completion data writes back to NetSuite for AR invoicing and inventory clearance. Most deployments are delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.

Does eLogii replace NetSuite WMS or Pick, Pack and Ship?

No. NetSuite WMS and Pick, Pack and Ship are warehouse-floor workflow: wave management, picking strategies, packing stations, shipment confirmation. They sit upstream of routing. eLogii is on the road: the route the truck takes once the load is built, the order each stop runs in, the driver app, the ETAs and the customer-facing tracking. If you already run NetSuite WMS, eLogii starts where the WMS hands off.

Does eLogii replace NetSuite’s shipping integration?

No. NetSuite’s shipping integration is rate-shop and label-print for parcel carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS). It is for parcel handoff. eLogii is for own-fleet routing: your trucks, your drivers, your stops. If your delivery is all parcel through carriers, eLogii is not the right tool. If you run an own fleet for distribution or field service, eLogii is the layer NetSuite was never built to be.

What data flows from NetSuite to eLogii?

Typically: open sales orders or delivery orders, the customer’s delivery address and geo, line items with weight and cube from the item record, any delivery time window, special-handling flags, the assigned depot or NetSuite Location, and any custom fields your operation depends on (access notes, gate codes, key handling). All of that is exposed via SuiteTalk REST today. The integration job either pulls on a schedule or pushes via a SuiteScript user-event on order approval.

What data flows back from eLogii to NetSuite?

Typically: delivery confirmation (delivered, refused, partial, failed and the reason), proof-of-delivery references (photo IDs, signature image references), timestamps (arrival, completion), driver-collected cash or payments where applicable, any custom form data captured in the driver app, and the final delivery status that triggers AR invoicing and inventory clearance. The write-back uses SuiteTalk REST or RESTlet endpoints from your integration layer.

We already use an iPaaS for NetSuite integration. Can it handle eLogii too?

Yes. eLogii has REST + JSON APIs, a sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and publicly documented endpoints. Whichever iPaaS your team already uses can broker eLogii alongside NetSuite.

How long does adding eLogii alongside NetSuite take?

Typically 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to a phased go-live, including the NetSuite integration. Most teams start with one business unit, depot or region, validate against historical NetSuite delivery data, then expand. Heatleys evaluated 20 platforms and went live fast on eLogii, citing how quickly drivers could be onboarded.

How does pricing compare?

It does not. NetSuite pricing stays as-is, eLogii is added on top. eLogii pricing is a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules, from $3,000 per month. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months on eLogii.

Is eLogii enterprise-grade?

Yes. eLogii runs operations at scale: J-Club (9,000+ stores), NHS, Belfast City Council, Vergo, Bristow & Sutor, Porcelanosa, Caldic and Berkmann Wine Cellars. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
