Case Study: Akustica achieves real-time global supply chain visibility and a foundation for growth with Oracle NetSuite

Akustica Gains a Foundation for Growth and Continuous Improvement

Akustica, Inc., a Bosch Group subsidiary that makes silicon microphones for smartphones and other mobile devices, faced a growing challenge: it lacked real‑time visibility and control over inventory and processes spanning in‑house and third‑party factories and warehouses across the US, Europe and Asia. Its legacy standalone ERP relied on periodic partner “snapshot” reports and manual reconciliation, creating inconsistencies and delays as sales scaled.

To solve this, Akustica implemented NetSuite Manufacturers Mid‑Market Edition and Dell Boomi AtomSphere to integrate partner data and automate POs, inventory transfers, assembly builds and sales orders. The real‑time integration boosted accuracy and auditability, reduced the need for frequent physical inventories and extra headcount, enabled continuous process improvements, and positioned the company for scalable growth.
