SuiteScript & Automation

NetSuite does what it does. We write the code that makes it do what you need.

Custom Suitelets, scheduled scripts, Map/Reduce jobs, workflow actions, and Advanced PDF templates. SuiteScript 2.x, governance-aware, structured logging, version-controlled, and client-owned from day one.

The Situation

Every NetSuite org we walk into has the same three-script problem.

A consultant wrote a script during implementation. It worked. Then someone added a field, changed a workflow, or onboarded a new subsidiary. The script broke. Nobody on the team knows SuiteScript well enough to fix it, so they build a workaround in Excel. Repeat that a few times and you have a finance team running manual processes on top of a system that was supposed to automate them.

We've inherited codebases from other partners where there was no error handling, no logging, no governance checks, and no documentation. Some of those scripts were processing millions of dollars in revenue allocations. The bar is higher than “it works on my sandbox.”

Capabilities

What we build, and how we build it.

Scheduled Scripts
Batch Processing & Scheduled Jobs
Nightly invoice sync, revenue allocation runs, intercompany elimination posts, data cleanup jobs. We write scheduled scripts and Map/Reduce scripts that handle tens of thousands of records with proper governance yielding, so they don't time out mid-run and leave your data half-processed.
Governance thresholds, checkpoint logging, automatic rescheduling on yield.
Suitelets
Custom Interfaces & Tools
When a standard NetSuite form doesn't fit the workflow, we build custom Suitelets. Internal tools for ops teams, customer-facing portals, approval dashboards, bulk record editors. Server-side SuiteScript with clean HTML/CSS frontends.
Sentry itself is a Suitelet. So is our data export tool, Outpost.
User Events
Record-Level Automation
Before-submit validations, after-submit posting logic, field defaulting, cross-record lookups. User Event scripts that fire on record create, edit, or delete. We write them to be specific about which contexts they run in, so they don't fire on CSV imports and break your data loads.
Context filtering, execution log tagging, subsidiary-scoped deployments.
Workflows
Workflow Automation & SuiteFlow
Approval chains, status transitions, email alerts, field updates. We configure native SuiteFlow workflows for processes that don't need code, and write Workflow Action scripts for the ones that do. The split matters: workflows are editable by admins, scripts aren't.
We document every workflow with a state diagram and trigger map before go-live.
Advanced PDF
Advanced PDF / HTML Templates
Invoice templates, packing slips, purchase orders, SOWs, customer-facing reports. FreeMarker-based templates with conditional logic, dynamic line grouping, multi-currency formatting, and company branding. Templates that look like they were designed, not generated.
Multi-subsidiary templates with conditional logos and address blocks.
How We Write Code

Governance-aware. Logged. Owned by you.

Every script we write checks remaining governance units before processing the next record. If a scheduled script is going to exceed its budget, it yields cleanly and reschedules, instead of crashing mid-batch and leaving orphaned records. Every error is caught, logged with context, and surfaced in the script execution log with enough detail to debug without re-running.

We use our own helper libraries (dt.tryCatch, dt.timer, dt.stateLabel) across all client codebases. They're MIT-licensed and part of the deliverable. Your team or your next partner can read, modify, and extend anything we build.

Production Standards

Every script ships with the same deployment checklist.

Named deployments with consistent ID conventions. Governance thresholds documented per script type. Execution logging that your admins can actually read. Version-controlled source code pushed to your repo, not ours.

Advanced PDF

Templates that finance teams aren't embarrassed to send.

Most NetSuite invoice templates look like they were designed in 2004. We build Advanced PDF/HTML templates with proper typography, consistent branding, conditional logic for multi-subsidiary orgs, and dynamic line grouping that handles complex billing structures without clipping or overflow.

FreeMarker under the hood, so your admins can update address blocks and payment terms without calling us. We document the template variables and logic in a README that ships with the template.

Saved Searches

Saved searches that actually perform.

We've walked into orgs with 800+ saved searches where half of them time out and the other half return wrong numbers because the join logic is off. We audit the search catalog, rebuild the ones that matter, archive the rest, and convert the high-governance searches to SuiteQL where the optimizer does a better job with complex joins.

Search Audit
Catalog every saved search in the org. Flag duplicates, identify timeout candidates, map which ones feed dashboards, reports, scripts, and integrations. You get a spreadsheet with the full inventory and our recommendations.
Most orgs have 30-40% searches that are unused or duplicated.
Performance Tuning
Rewrite searches that time out or return incorrect results. Fix join logic, add appropriate filters, restructure formula columns, and convert high-volume searches to SuiteQL where the query planner handles the complexity better.
SuiteQL for joins across 3+ record types. Saved searches for everything else.
Search-to-SuiteQL Migration
For reporting-heavy orgs that need joins, aggregations, and subqueries that saved searches can't do cleanly. We write parameterized SuiteQL queries with pagination and governance-safe execution patterns.
Paginated SuiteQL with proper cursor management. No 5,000-row surprises.

“We had three scripts from our old partner that nobody could touch. VCG rewrote them in two weeks with proper error handling and documentation. We haven't had a script failure since.”

How Dev Engagements Work

Scope it, build it, hand it over.

01
Scoping
We read your existing scripts and search catalog before the first call. Then we walk through the business process to understand what the script needs to do, what it interacts with, and where it can break.
02
Architecture
Script type selection, governance budget estimation, deployment plan, rollback strategy. You approve the technical spec before we write a line of code. No surprises at UAT.
03
Build & Test
Development in sandbox with structured test cases. Weekly demos of working scripts. UAT scripts that your team can run independently. We don't hand over code that only we know how to test.
04
Deploy & Document
Production deployment with monitoring period. Full documentation including README, deployment runbook, governance budget notes, and a troubleshooting guide. Source code pushed to your repo.
Deliverables

Every engagement ships the same package.

01Source Code

SuiteScript 2.x modules pushed to your Git repository. MIT-licensed helper libraries included. Your IP, your repo, your choice of partner going forward.

02Deployment Runbook

Step-by-step deployment instructions with script IDs, deployment records, parameter settings, and rollback procedures. Written for your NetSuite admin, not for us.

03Technical Documentation

README per script covering purpose, trigger conditions, governance budget, error handling behavior, and dependencies. Written so the next person who touches the code can understand it without calling us.

04Test Suite

UAT test cases with expected inputs, expected outputs, and edge cases documented. Your QA team or admin can re-run them after any NetSuite release or configuration change.

Let's Talk

Your scripts should be an asset, not a liability.

Free 30-minute technical assessment. We'll review your script catalog, identify the highest-risk gaps, and tell you honestly whether custom development is the right call or if native configuration will do the job.
