Published estimates become working NetSuite orders.
A published project lands in NetSuite as an opportunity, then converts to a sales order when the deal is won. Line-level cost comes with it, so margin is there from day one.
Integration
NetSuite to D-Tools integration.
Connect the design and project work your team manages in D-Tools to the NetSuite workflows finance and operations run on.
What moves
What actually moves between D-Tools and NetSuite.
Projects, change orders, service work, products, and field labor — moving into NetSuite without re-entry.
Each change is classified before it posts.
Non-revenue changes update the existing order. Revenue-bearing changes get their own. A change already applied is skipped, so a re-sync cannot inflate the job.
Service work runs on the same financial rails.
Service orders and recurring service plans sync across and can raise their own sales orders, keeping service billing beside project billing.
Labor cost lands on the project automatically.
Timesheets post against the matching NetSuite project, carrying employee cost per hour with them. Missing resources are added to the project team automatically.
A new product does not block the order.
Every D-Tools line resolves to a NetSuite item. When one does not exist yet, the integration creates it rather than failing the import.
Every created or changed line has a record behind it.
Every sync and every line-level change is logged in NetSuite and tied back to the D-Tools project or change order it came from.
Workflow shape
From D-Tools project to accountable NetSuite job.
The job is designed once and entered into the ERP again.
Customers, items, pricing, costs, change orders, service work, and field time are recreated in NetSuite. The systems drift, job margin becomes hard to defend, and every change adds another manual checkpoint.
D-Tools publishes the work and NetSuite applies it through staging.
Projects, change orders, service plans, and timesheets land in staging records first. The integration resolves the destination, applies the correct transaction logic, and keeps posted work safe during a re-run.
The estimate, order, labor cost, and audit trail stay connected.
NetSuite receives the operational detail finance needs without a second entry step, while D-Tools remains the system where integrators design, price, and manage the work.

Design and estimating
Financial system of record
Capabilities
A native SuiteApp with the controls inside your account.
One configuration record holds credentials, item defaults, the timesheet employee, and environment options. Every process reads the same controlled setup.
- Native SuiteApp installed in NetSuite, with no middleware server or third-party iPaaS subscription.
- Map/Reduce processing for large projects with long bills of material.
- Standard NetSuite Opportunity, Sales Order, Project, Project Task, Time Entry, Item, and Customer records.
- Credentials and item defaults stored on one permission-controlled D-Tools Config record.
- Staging records make failed imports inspectable, retryable, and safe to re-run without duplicate posting.
Why Catalyst
Built around the handoff, not just the connection.
Catalyst plans integration work around the way NetSuite has to run after the data arrives: billing, service operations, finance review, exception handling, and day-to-day visibility.
- API-to-API integration work grounded in real NetSuite operating context.
- A workflow-first approach to records, transactions, billing signals, and exceptions.
- Experience connecting PSA, CRM, distributor, billing, and operational systems into NetSuite.
- A senior team that can stay with the details when the workflow is more nuanced than a basic sync.
