Autodesk Fusion Manage + Oracle NetSuite

PLM and ERP Seamlessly Working Together

Establish a seamless, bi-directional, and error-free synchronization between Autodesk Fusion Manage and Oracle NetSuite.



Why This Matters

  • eliminate the latency, manual work, and human error involved in transferring data between Fusion Manage to NetSuite

  • ensure the most current and accurate released parts, bill of materials, approved vendors, inventory and other related product data are synchronized between Fusion Manage and NetSuite

  • reduce the cost of quality (CoQ) reflected in rework, scrap, product returns, shipping delays, and expedited freight expenses, all of which erode margins

PLM Meets ERP

  • Fusion Manage serves as the “system of record” managing the product lifecycle of activities including design, engineering, configuration, and change management

  • NetSuite relies on the most current product data to support sourcing, inspection and quality, manufacturing and delivery

  • via the integration, the two platforms maintain fully synchronized parts (item masters), simple or advanced BOMs, metadata, revisions and more

Certified Integration Partners

Approved integration through the Built for NetSuite and Autodesk ADN programs.




The Nexus Difference: Seamless Synchronization with Zero Delays and Ease of Maintenance

Accelerated setup thanks to prebuilt “transaction templates” tailored for quintessential engineering and design use cases.

No code data exchanges that are facilitated by webhooks and REST APIs that simplify support, modifications and upgrades.

A future proof, single platform that can support additional integrations with your ERP, ECM, MES and other enterprise platforms.

Solution Details

  • The Hidden Costs of Disconnected PLM and ERP Systems

    Release Delays - Downstream activities end up using outdated and inaccurate product data to transact purchase orders, inspection and quality, manufacturing process planning and more.

    Data, Document, or Vendor Information out of Synch - When Autodesk Fusion Management and Oracle NetSuite aren't synchronized, version conflicts occur, outdated parts and/or BOMs are used, qualified sources are not available to engineering, and inadvertent use of outdated vendor data or unapproved vendors occur.

    Compliance Risks - Manual transfers between PLM and ERP create gaps in your audit trail and make it nearly impossible to maintain data and file integrity as well as regulatory compliance across your complete product development process.

    Cost of Quality (CoQ) - Disconnected platforms contributed to scrap, rework, returns, excess inventory, delayed schedules, expedited shipment payments, and warranties that ultimately add to the cost of quality  which drains profits.

  • One Integration Platform - The Manufacturing Industry’s Only Comprehensive Digital Thread Platform providing CAD-to-MRO Connectivity

    Integration Components: 

    Autodesk Fusion Manage Connector - This connector supports a myriad of Autodesk Fusion Manage configurations including Items, Files, use of Lifecycles and/or ECOs. The connector supports Fusion Manage unique data structure including the extraction of change workflows, parts, BOMs, and documents.

    Oracle NetSuite Connector - Purpose-built for Oracle NetSuite. This connector handles part creation and updates, simple or advanced BOM configurations creation and updates, vendor and supplier synchronization,  lifecycle state synchronization, and no-code flexibility to support additional use cases.

    Nexus - Orchestration hub that eliminates code and logic from the endpoints and coordinates the exchange and processing for data and files.  Pre-configurated “Transaction Templates” are designed to encapsulate common use case and workflow logic. Nexus contains built in field mappings, encryption, error detection, and recovery processes.

  • Real Customer Impact

    • instant synchronization for part and file information between Autodesk Fusion Management and Oracle NetSuite

    • zero data entry errors

    • typically 5 to 10 days to implement … not weeks or months

    Integration Reliability

    • handles both simple and advance BOM structures in NetSuite

    • maintains complete audit trails across both systems 

    • 99.9% uptime with automatic error recovery

  • Built for real engineering workflows. Most common use case templates include:

    • Part/BOM Release from Fusion Manage to NetSuite

    • Synchronization of Inventory and Non-Inventory Item Creation and Updates from Fusion Manage to NetSuite

    • Quantity-on-Hand, Average Costs, and other data from NetSuite federated back to Fusion Manage

    • Visibility in NetSuite on the Status of Engineering Changes in Fusion Manage

    • Creation and/or Updates of Vendor Information from Fusion Manage to NetSuite

    All of the above use cases can be tailored to the specific needs of an organization.  Additional use cases can be added.

  • Deploy Securely in Your Environment
