Transcript

00:00To private equity sponsors and operating partners here in Las Vegas: your post-acquisition value creation shouldn't be trapped in forty-page slide decks.

00:11At DataOngoing, we measure our work strictly in basis points of EBITDA. Two hours of executive input returns hundreds of automated hours, proven in our 100x time ledger.

00:24First, a 48 to 72-hour AI technology diligence read to price technical debt before wiring capital. Second, compressing your 21-day multi-entity close down to 3. Third, automated floor-to-ledger data ingestion straight into NetSuite.

00:44We ship working code in 14-day sprints. If it does not run in production, the milestone is not billed. Visit DataOngoing.ai to schedule a private advisory session.

Field Retrospectives

Seven composite engagements with the before-and-after numbers attached and, where the mechanism matters, the architecture drawn out stage by stage: roll-up consolidation, EDI live in 36 hours, perishable lot traceability with a live cutover, invoicing fired from the carrier scan, a HubSpot-Stripe-NetSuite revenue chain, and AI workers that cannot write to the ledger without a person. For individually recorded automations see the proof library.
Specialty chemicals and manufacturing

Four ERPs to One Set of Books in a Chemical Distribution Roll-Up

$180M industrial chemical distribution holding company

A sponsor acquired four chemical distributors in 14 months across four different ERPs. Consolidated reporting took 27 days. We migrated all four into one governed NetSuite tenant and took the close to 3 days.

Apparel and retail distribution

EDI and Multi-Store Fulfillment Live in 36 Hours

$65M omnichannel direct-to-consumer and wholesale footwear brand

A retail partnership required real-time EDI and multi-store fulfillment syncing. An incumbent integrator quoted $140,000 and 16 weeks. We delivered production integration in 36 hours with no middleware subscription.

Food processing and cold-chain logistics

Scales and Scanners Posting Directly to the Ledger in Cold Storage

Regional cold storage and protein processing facility

Operators hand-weighed pallets and retyped the numbers, costing $90,000 a year in billing shortfalls. We bridged floor scales and scanners directly into the ERP, cutting weight capture from 90 seconds to 180 milliseconds.

Cold-chain food and perishable beverage distribution

Perishable Lot Traceability and a Live Cutover for a Cold-Chain Food Distributor

$70M West Coast perishable food and beverage distributor

A fresh-food distributor was told its move from a custom legacy platform onto NetSuite would take nine months and a 48-hour operational shutdown. We staged receipts asynchronously, bound lots and expiration dates at the dock, and cut over across a shift change with no missed shipments.

Industrial equipment and engineered filtration manufacturing

A Fourteen-Day Invoicing Lag Removed and Engineering Changes Billed at an Industrial Manufacturer

$90M engineered filtration and HVAC systems manufacturer

Shipments took two weeks to become invoices, and mid-production design changes lived in spreadsheets and never reached the sales order. We paired the carrier scan to the invoice and moved design-change approval inside NetSuite, taking billing from fourteen days to minutes.

B2B software and tech-enabled services

HubSpot, Stripe and NetSuite Reconciled to the Cent for a B2B SaaS Company

High-growth B2B SaaS and subscription business

Closed-won deals, card payments and revenue recognition lived in three systems joined by generic connectors, and finance spent eight days a month reconciling Stripe payouts. We built direct, idempotent endpoints that split gateway fees at ingestion and generate the ASC 606 arrangement on deal close.

Enterprise managed services and complex logistics

Governed AI Workers Inside NetSuite, With a Human Approval Gate on Every Write

Multi-subsidiary services holding company

Generative AI stalls inside the ERP for three reasons: it guesses, it drowns in tokens, and nobody will give it write access. We deployed HelpAirs workers that read through governed SuiteQL tools, propose transactions as drafts, and commit nothing without a human approval.

Talk to the architect, not a salesperson

HelpAirs technology for NetSuite: the five roles a company pays for, delivered as one supervised AI service at a modeled 20-80% lower cost, with the existing team repurposed rather than replaced, and every outcome published in the results ledger with its source class. Read the ledger.
