How Boomi Integrates with NetSuite ERP Systems

For example, you may store product descriptions in your accounting system, but your web store remains your customer-facing front end. This information must circulate both ways.

Many companies operate with separated systems—creating operational problems. Customers might order products that are out of stock, retired, or nonexistent. For high-volume businesses, you need a connection between systems. Middleware enables companies to connect multiple different platforms.

Some customers also use Boomi for EDI. When dealing with large providers like Walmart, you're required to communicate order status via EDI. The challenge is that EDI transactions aren’t immediately consumable by your ERP. Boomi transforms this data—applying workflows and business logic—into the right format before sending it into NetSuite.

We do small and large Boomi projects. The main advantage: Boomi is cloud-based, so customers don’t need to host servers or maintain on-premise infrastructure.

Today, companies run mostly on cloud applications. If you're moving data from Shopify to NetSuite, why buy hardware to connect them?

Signs you may need to automate: when staff are overwhelmed by extracting data from one system and re-entering it into another. When manual work affects operations—it’s time to automate.

This often happens when a company is growing. Large volumes of leads from platforms like HubSpot, or web store orders that need to be processed in NetSuite, lead to operational bottlenecks. Middleware becomes essential.

Implementing Boomi automates this process end-to-end with minimal errors.

I call this “Swivel Chair Integration”: someone turning from one system to another, retyping data. This is a recipe for disaster. No one can maintain high accuracy doing this all day. A system must handle the work.

Boomi, being cloud-based, helps customers automate workflows, transform data, and scale operations efficiently.

Some customers didn’t even have a full-time person for this work but still implemented Boomi early—saving themselves from needing a team of 30 people today just to handle data entry.

The investment was well worth it to ensure smooth operations as they grew.
