Case Study: WAYB achieves 90% payout reconciliation automation and 50% faster payout processing with Blue Onion

How WAYB Automates Bank Payouts in NetSuite with Blue Onion

WAYB, a sustainable family-focused retailer, faced time-consuming, error-prone manual order-to-cash reconciliation across channels like Amazon and Shopify even after moving to NetSuite. Seeking to automate and scale their financial operations, WAYB engaged Blue Onion to address gaps in payout processing, transaction-level reconciliation, and month-end close efficiency.

Blue Onion integrated with WAYB’s NetSuite instance (and Celigo) to deliver transaction-level reconciliation, three-way matching and a variance-push workflow, automating about 90% of payout reconciliation. The implementation cut cash payout processing time by more than 50%, reduced the staff accountant’s reconciliation effort from 30–40% to roughly 15–20%, saved at least 8–10 hours per month on month-end close, and produced audit-ready, more accurate financial data.
