Case Study: Malco Energy cuts order processing time from 3 days to 40 minutes with Oracle NetSuite

NetSuite Helps Malco Energy Cut Order Processing Time from 3 Days to 40 Minutes

Malco Energy, a Northbrook, Illinois manufacturer, needed to replace QuickBooks and overhaul operations to handle a growing catalog of 8,000 product variations while cutting inventory, shipping and logistics costs and extending efficiency gains to customers. The company’s goals included faster order turnaround, reduced paperwork, and the ability to expand into more complex product assemblies and customer services.

Malco chose NetSuite ERP over alternatives and migrated more than 80 business processes—integrating AP/AR, CRM, sales, order processing, shipping and paperless workflows across three locations. The transformation cut order-processing from three days to 40 minutes and custom-quote time from 12 hours to two, saved more than $75,000 annually plus 15–20 hours per month in manual work, increased inventory turns by 60%, enabled complex assembly builds, and earned industry recognition (PM100 Award).
