Case Study: Fastening Solutions, Inc. boosts NetSuite efficiency with CloudExtend Excel Integration Apps

How Fastening Solutions Quit CSV Imports and Increased Efficiency by 50%

Fastening Solutions, Inc. (FSI), a family-owned company serving customers since 1956, needed a better way to manage its NetSuite data and reduce the time spent on manual updates and CSV imports. The team was looking for a solution that would be easy to set up, require minimal training, and help them automate internal processes without disrupting day-to-day operations. They chose CloudExtend and its Excel-based NetSuite tools, including CloudExtend Excel Data Management and CloudExtend Excel Analytics.

With CloudExtend, FSI used Excel to update inventory, bank records, reporting, saved searches, and other NetSuite tasks, while also automating processes like matching parts. The company said goodbye to CSV errors and improved data accuracy, while saving employees significant time—about 11,440 hours annually per user—along with an estimated 50% increase in efficiency. FSI also praised CloudExtend’s responsive support team for providing fast, helpful guidance whenever needed.
