NetSuite ⇔ D&H Integration
Native NetSuite integration with D&H Distributing
D&H Distributing is one of the most channel-focused IT distributors in North America, deeply embedded with SMB-focused VARs and solution providers.
For NetSuite customers ordering through D&H, the back-office workflow can be the difference between a profitable order and one that consumed the margin in operations time.
Catalyst’s NetSuite ⇔ D&H Integration is part of Catalyst VAR Connect. It automates the full ordering, fulfillment, and billing workflow between NetSuite and D&H, natively inside NetSuite.
The Challenge
The unintegrated D&H workflow is the same story as every distributor.
Log in. Place the order. Retype confirmations. Wait for shipment. Retype tracking and serials. Hand-build item receipts. Hand-build vendor bills. Reconcile line-level price differences manually.
The operations team becomes a data-entry team, and order velocity gets capped by the number of people you can throw at it.
The Solution
The integration handles the full D&H flow inside NetSuite.
- Electronic POs — sent from NetSuite to D&H automatically
- Real-time confirmations — order numbers, ETAs, and confirmations sync back
- Tracking and serials — captured automatically
- Item Receipts and Fulfillments — generated from D&H data
- Vendor Bills — imported with line-level detail
- Variance analysis — flags price differences before they hit the GL
Native to NetSuite.
No middleware. No export-import scripts.
