Where we have actually delivered.
Costing behaves differently in a block factory than in a contracting business. This list is generated from the client roster and the published case studies — it is what we have delivered, not a list of sectors we would accept work in.

Sector guides
The accounting problems we get asked about most.
Each of these describes what makes a sector's numbers hard, what NetSuite does about it, and which of our delivered builds it most resembles. They sit apart from the list above because that list is generated from the client roster and these sectors are not on it. If one of them is yours, the useful conversation is about how close the resemblance actually is.
- Hospitality and restaurants →Revenue per outlet, food cost percentage and multi-property consolidation are the recurring hospitality problems.
- Renewable energy →Development cost capitalisation, long-cycle project accounting and O&M revenue over decades-long agreements.
- Customs brokerage and freight forwarding →Disbursement recovery and per-job costing determine whether a brokerage is earning or just moving money.
- Retail and store chains →Per-store P&L, stock accuracy across locations and the true cost of a promotion are what retail reporting turns on.
- E-commerce →Gateway reconciliation, returns and fulfilment cost per order decide whether online margin is real.
- Automotive and dealerships →Floor plan interest, warranty recovery and the split between vehicles, parts and service decide dealership profitability.
- Building materials →Unit conversion, delivery cost and credit exposure to contractors are what make materials trading hard.
- Pharmaceutical and medical supplies →Batch traceability, cold chain integrity and consignment stock held at hospitals are regulatory obligations before they are accounting ones.
- Oil and gas support services →Mobilisation recovery, day rate against lump sum, and equipment utilisation across long payment cycles.
- Subcontracting and specialist trades →Retention suffered rather than held, progress claims certified by someone else, and working capital that never catches up.
- Furniture and fittings →Made-to-order against stock, installation as its own cost, and showroom margin that has nothing to do with contract margin.
- Non-profit and associations →Restricted funds, grant reporting to each donor’s format, and membership income earned across a year.
- Facilities management →Recurring contracts, reactive work that was never priced, and profitability that only means anything per site.
- Healthcare and clinics →Insurance claim cycles, rejections and consumables against procedures decide whether a clinic earns what it bills.
- Education and private schools →Termly fee billing, discounts that stack, and capital projects competing with an operating budget.
Not seeing your sector?
Then we probably have not delivered in it. Ask at the scoping call and we will tell you straight, rather than after the statement of work.
