“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Traditional NetSuite integrations create ongoing maintenance overhead through custom code management, API version updates, and technical debt accumulation. These hidden costs compound over time, often exceeding the initial development investment while consuming valuable technical resources.
Here’s how to approach NetSuite integration with minimal long-term maintenance burden through managed infrastructure and business user accessibility.
Minimize maintenance with managed integration using Coefficient
Coefficient provides a NetSuite integration approach specifically designed to minimize long-term maintenance burden. The platform’s managed authentication handles OAuth 2.0 with automatic 7-day token refresh, eliminating the need to maintain custom authentication code or handle NetSuite security updates manually.
Pre-built RESTlet scripts with automatic update notifications remove the burden of maintaining custom API integration code. Business logic implemented through spreadsheet formulas rather than custom applications eliminates code versioning, testing, and deployment maintenance cycles, while platform updates and NetSuite API changes are handled by Coefficient’s infrastructure team.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up managed authentication once.
Configure OAuth 2.0 with automatic token refresh every 7 days. This eliminates ongoing authentication maintenance, security patch management, and compatibility testing that plague custom integrations.
Step 2. Deploy pre-maintained RESTlet scripts.
Use tested, maintained RESTlet scripts provided by Coefficient with automatic update notifications. This removes the burden of maintaining custom API integration code and handling NetSuite platform changes.
Step 3. Implement business logic through spreadsheet formulas.
Handle integration logic using spreadsheet functions rather than custom code. This eliminates code versioning, testing cycles, deployment processes, and ongoing debugging requirements.
Step 4. Leverage automatic compatibility management.
Platform updates and NetSuite API changes are handled by Coefficient’s infrastructure team rather than requiring internal technical resources. Your integrations remain functional without version compatibility testing.
Step 5. Enable business user maintenance.
Configure integrations so business users can handle formula updates, refresh schedule changes, and minor modifications without technical intervention. This reduces IT dependency and maintenance requests.
Build integrations that maintain themselves
NetSuite integration maintenance doesn’t have to consume your technical resources. With managed infrastructure and no-code architecture, you can achieve sophisticated integration functionality while reducing maintenance burden by 90% or more. Start building low-maintenance integrations today.
