What syncs between ShipBob and NetSuite

Every data flow between ShipBob and NetSuite is event-driven — from order routing to per-node inventory reconciliation.

Sales Orders→ NetSuite

Approved NetSuite Sales Orders route to the correct ShipBob fulfillment node automatically — based on ship-to location, inventory availability, and your 2-day shipping SLA rules — with no manual dispatch.

Item Master / Products→ NetSuite

NetSuite inventory items sync to ShipBob as products — including SKU, dimensions, weight, and barcode — so every fulfillment node has accurate pick-and-pack data from your ERP.

Item FulfillmentsShipBob

When ShipBob ships an order, In8Sync DirectConnect creates the NetSuite Item Fulfillment record — with the ShipBob node, carrier, and service — closing the order loop in your ERP instantly.

Tracking NumbersShipBob

Carrier tracking numbers generated by ShipBob post back to the originating NetSuite Sales Order and Item Fulfillment records in real time — no copy-paste, no daily import file.

Inventory Levels by LocationShipBob

On-hand quantities at every ShipBob fulfillment node sync to the matching NetSuite location — giving your operations team a single view of multi-node inventory without logging into the ShipBob Dashboard separately.

Returns & RMAs↔ Both

NetSuite Return Authorizations create RMA records in ShipBob. When ShipBob receives and inspects the return, In8Sync DirectConnect writes back the NetSuite Item Receipt and triggers the credit memo workflow.

Transfer Orders↔ Both

Inventory replenishment transfers between ShipBob nodes originate as NetSuite Transfer Orders and reconcile back when ShipBob confirms receipt — keeping multi-node stock levels accurate in both systems.

Inventory VarianceShipBob

Cycle count and shrinkage variances recorded in ShipBob post to NetSuite as inventory adjustment journals — keeping your ERP the authoritative source of truth for stock valuation.

Why In8Sync DirectConnect

Built differently

Distributed fulfillment without distributed data

ShipBob's multi-node network promises 2-day delivery by placing inventory closer to your customers. In8Sync DirectConnect ensures NetSuite reflects every node's on-hand quantities in real time — so your ERP remains the single source of truth, not the ShipBob Dashboard.

No iPaaS, no middleware

In8Sync DirectConnect is a SuiteApp installed directly inside your NetSuite account — no separate integration platform, no per-order fee, no third-party server in the data path between your ERP and ShipBob's fulfillment network.

Intelligent order routing

Orders approved in NetSuite route to the optimal ShipBob node based on your configured rules — ship-to zone, available inventory, and SLA targets — without any manual dispatch or warehouse selection.

FAQ

Common questions

Does In8Sync DirectConnect require an iPaaS or middleware platform to connect ShipBob and NetSuite?

No. In8Sync DirectConnect is a SuiteApp installed directly inside your NetSuite account. There is no external integration platform, no per-order fee, and no third-party server between your ERP and ShipBob.

How does order routing to ShipBob nodes work?

In8Sync DirectConnect routes approved NetSuite Sales Orders to the ShipBob fulfillment node based on configurable rules — ship-to region, per-node inventory availability, and your 2-day SLA zones. Routing logic is set up during implementation to match your fulfillment strategy.

Is NetSuite or the ShipBob Dashboard the source of truth for inventory?

NetSuite is the authoritative source. In8Sync DirectConnect syncs ShipBob's per-node on-hand quantities back to the corresponding NetSuite location records in real time, so your ERP always reflects what is physically in each ShipBob warehouse.

Can In8Sync DirectConnect map multiple ShipBob nodes to different NetSuite locations and subsidiaries?

Yes. Each ShipBob fulfillment node maps to a specific NetSuite location and, where applicable, a specific subsidiary — supporting multi-entity NetSuite configurations.

What happens if ShipBob is temporarily unavailable?

In8Sync DirectConnect includes a built-in retry queue. Events are held and retried on exponential backoff — no orders or inventory updates are lost during a ShipBob outage.
