Transitioning a legacy system to NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing and WMS
THE CHALLENGE
1440 Foods, a manufacturer of nutritional bars promoting healthy and active lifestyles, faced a critical obstacle during their NetSuite implementation: their end users struggled to grasp the concepts of NetSuite's Advanced Manufacturing and Warehouse Management System (WMS) modules.
The core issue wasn't a lack of intelligence or capability—it was terminology and process alignment. The language and workflows in NetSuite were fundamentally different from their legacy ERP system, creating confusion among warehouse staff, production managers, and operations teams who needed to adopt these new systems quickly.
With a December go-live deadline approaching, 1440 Foods needed specialized training that could bridge this gap and build genuine understanding, not just surface-level familiarity.

THE SOLUTION
1440 Foods engaged with Devma for four weeks of intensive, on-site training beginning in Q4 2025. What made this engagement unique was the combination of expertise they brought to the table:
Manufacturing facility experience: Deep understanding of how production and warehouse operations actually work in real-world settings
NetSuite consultancy expertise: Technical knowledge of how NetSuite's Advanced Manufacturing and WMS modules function
Translation ability: The capacity to communicate between operational realities and system capabilities
Rather than relying on standard classroom training or documentation, Molly and Howard took a hands-on, practical approach. They worked directly with 1440 Foods' end users to simulate their actual production processes within a sandbox environment. This allowed the team to see NetSuite functionality mapped directly to their workflows—not in abstract terms, but in terms of how their specific processes would operate in the new system.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Many NetSuite implementations fail not because the software is inadequate, but because the people using it don't fully understand it. Generic training programs often miss this critical reality.
1440 Foods' success demonstrates the value of specialized, industry-aware training that:
Bridges the gap between legacy systems and modern ERP thinking
Uses real operational processes, not hypothetical examples
Combines deep manufacturing experience with NetSuite expertise
Empowers end users to become confident advocates for the system, not reluctant users
The result was a go-live that delivered on time, with a team ready to maximize the value of their NetSuite investment.
