Case Study: iConn Technologies (ICONN) achieves global scale and 120% growth while staying lean with Oracle NetSuite

After 15 Years on NetSuite, iConn Technologies Gives Rise to an ERP-Fueled Startup

iConn Technologies, an Orange County–based manufacturer and engineering services provider of electrical components and complex assemblies, needed to move beyond QuickBooks and spreadsheets to support international growth. As a self‑funded startup with operations and partners in the U.S., Australia, China and Germany, it required a cost‑effective, scalable ERP and manufacturing solution with multi‑language accounting and secure remote access for employees, customers and suppliers.

iConn selected NetSuite (over SAP Business One) and Arena PLM, quickly deploying ERP, CRM and customer/partner portals with real‑time dashboards and SuiteCloud integrations. The result: about 120% growth without adding staff, hundreds of thousands in overhead savings plus $30–50K/year cut in VPN costs, and unified real‑time visibility across six suppliers, 19 manufacturing sites and 30 inventory locations—enabling faster collaboration and higher service levels worldwide.
