November 24, 2025 – TopSource Global announced a custom NetSuite vendor portal designed specifically for automotive e-commerce companies managing complex drop-ship operations. Learn more about the solution at TopSource Global.
The vendor portal automates what used to be manual work: vendors log in, check orders, update inventory, and confirm shipments in real time. No more emails, spreadsheets, or phone calls between retailers and their 1,000+ vendor network.
CARiD, one of North America’s largest automotive parts retailers, deployed the drop-ship automation solution in production. Results:
- Warehouse throughput jumped 40% through optimized picker routing
- Label errors dropped below 1% (automated validation catches mistakes before they ship)
- 1,000+ vendors now have real-time order visibility
- Manual compliance work cut by 60%
“We were drowning in vendor communication,” said Marrion DeMello, President & CFO of CARiD. “Emails, phone calls, spreadsheets everywhere. TopSource built something that actually works for our business.”
HOW THE NETSUITE VENDOR PORTAL WORKS
The portal handles the messy parts of automotive e-commerce: multi-million SKU catalogs, complex drop-ship relationships, installation coordination for performance parts, vendor compliance tracking.
Vendors self-serve through a clean interface. They see orders assigned to them, update inventory in real time, track shipments. The system automatically routes orders to the right vendor based on stock, location, and performance history. For installations—products that need professional setup—the portal manages the entire workflow.
On the backend, the vendor management system connects to shipping carriers, EDI systems, and logistics providers. Data flows automatically. No manual entry.
“Most ERP systems treat drop-ship like an afterthought,” said Anton Kuzmin, CEO of TopSource Global. “Automotive retailers have hundreds of vendors, millions of SKUs, tight margins. You need a NetSuite customization solution that understands that complexity.”
NETSUITE IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE AND COST
TopSource built the drop-ship automation solution using certified Oracle NetSuite developers based in Ukraine and Moldova. That approach cuts costs 50-70% compared to traditional NetSuite implementation partners, with developers available during US business hours.
NetSuite implementation takes 8-16 weeks depending on customization requirements and existing ERP configuration. TopSource offers fixed-price implementation, dedicated development teams, and ongoing managed services for NetSuite administration and optimization.
WHY AUTOMOTIVE E-COMMERCE NEEDS SPECIALIZED SOLUTIONS
Traditional ERP systems lack the specialized workflows needed for automotive retailers. TopSource’s approach combines deep NetSuite expertise with industry-specific knowledge from 15+ years supporting automotive e-commerce leaders.
The company offers comprehensive NetSuite customization services including vendor portal development, WMS optimization, financial operations automation, and supply chain integration.
