The 3PL go-live is not the timeline. The integration is.

The warehouse date is on the calendar. The old path is still real. Orders keep moving only if Celigo and NetSuite are sequenced through the overlap — not if someone re-keys the first week and calls it cutover.

Dual-path during overlap

NetSuite stays the system of record

Sequencing written before the date

What breaks when the warehouse date leads.

The go-live is a building. The cutover is the path orders, ASNs, and inventory take to get there. Those are not the same project.

Break

The old path is still real

Orders, returns, and inventory adjustments keep hitting the warehouse you are leaving. Pretending that path is closed on day one is how exceptions pile up in a spreadsheet.

Break

Re-keying becomes the record

When the new 3PL is live and Celigo is not, someone types the order in. That keystroke is now the system of record — until it is not, and finance cannot say which one is true.

Break

ASNs and chargebacks lag

Retail partners do not wait for your warehouse move. Missed ASNs and late invoice paths show up as chargebacks weeks after the date on the slide.

Break

Inventory splits three ways

On-hand in NetSuite, on-hand at the old 3PL, on-hand at the new one. Without a written rule for which quantity posts, you will sell what you do not have.

Break

Celigo is half-cut over

A few flows pointed at the new warehouse. The rest still write to the old one. Happy-path orders look fine. Exceptions do not.

What we actually do.

Not a staffed war room on the warehouse floor. Sequencing, dual-path Celigo, and NetSuite as the system of record — written before the date moves.

Dual-path Celigo for the overlap

Old warehouse and new warehouse live at the same time. Flows route by brand, SKU, order type, or date — whatever the move actually requires — so shipping does not stop while the new path comes online.

Cutover sequencing written first

Which orders, ASNs, inventory adjustments, and chargeback paths move when. The date is a milestone in that sequence, not the plan itself.

Error handling for a move

A 3PL cutover is an exception factory. Retries, dead-letter queues, and a documented path for the orders that will not post cleanly — not a Slack thread after go-live.

NetSuite as the system of record

One place inventory, fulfillments, and financials settle. Dual-path does not mean dual-post. The overlap rules keep NetSuite from counting the same order twice.

Fixed-fee SOW after discovery

Discovery produces the sequence and the number. You sign a scoped build — not an open-ended staff-aug engagement that starts when the warehouse calendar says so.

Who this is for.

Mid-market ecommerce and ops teams moving warehouses — not a platform migration for its own sake.

A 3PL date is already on the calendar

The building is contracted. The integration work has not been sequenced. Orders still have to ship through the overlap.

Celigo already talks to the current warehouse

The instance is live. Pointing a few flows at the new 3PL is not a cutover. The old path, the exceptions, and NetSuite still have to hold.

NetSuite has to stay clean

Finance will not accept two inventory numbers and a week of re-keyed orders. The system of record has to survive the move.

How the engagement runs.

Four steps. The warehouse date is one milestone inside them — not the kickoff.

Discovery & sequencing

Current warehouse flows, the new 3PL's interface, order types, ASN and inventory rules. The cutover sequence is written before anyone commits a go-live date in the SOW.

DeliverableSequencing memo, dual-path rules, go/no-go.

Architecture & build

Celigo flows for overlap: old path, new path, and the exceptions that will fire when both are live. NetSuite mappings stay explicit. Documentation drafted in parallel.

DeliverableStaging flows, draft runbooks, weekly review.

Overlap & go-live

Both warehouses ship. We watch the paths, drain exceptions, and move volume on the sequence — not on a single flip. Nothing silent in NetSuite.

DeliverableProduction overlap, monitoring live, exception log.

Decommission & support

Old path turned down when the sequence says it is empty. Runbooks handed over. Optional support for the first trading-partner cycles after the move.

DeliverableDecommission checklist, final runbooks, optional retainer.

Questions before the date.

Not finding what you need? Ask us directly →

Yes. Dual-path Celigo is the point of the engagement — the old warehouse keeps shipping while the new one is sequenced in. Orders stay live. We write the overlap rules before anyone flips a date.

Not by default. We read the instance you already run, keep what is production-safe, and rebuild the paths that will break during the move. If the current flows are half-cut over, that is usually the work — not a greenfield rebuild for its own sake.

NetSuite stays the system of record. Cutover sequencing is written first: which orders, ASNs, and inventory adjustments post where, and which path is silent. Dual-path does not mean dual-post. The overlap rules are in the SOW before go-live.

Let's map the cutover before the date does.

Bring the warehouse date, the current Celigo instance, and how orders move today. We'll tell you what the sequence has to be — or if we are not the right partner for it.

The warehouse will go live on its own calendar. The integration does not have to be an afterthought.
