SuiteWorks Tech WMS Mobile Lite for NetSuite in Pharma & Healthcare Distribution

Pharma and healthcare distribution warehouses operate under constant pressure—accuracy, speed, and traceability are non-negotiable. Inventory must be received, picked, packed, and shipped with complete visibility, while maintaining compliance and real-time system updates.

In such environments, SuiteWorks Tech WMS Mobile Lite for NetSuite plays a practical role by extending NetSuite warehouse execution directly to mobile devices, enabling warehouse teams to work efficiently without additional NetSuite user licenses.

This approach aligns well with healthcare and pharmaceutical distribution centers where operational scale, lot tracking, and real-time inventory accuracy are essential.


Warehouse Execution Challenges in Pharma & Healthcare Distribution

🔹 Requirement for lot-numbered and serialized item tracking
🔹 Need for real-time inventory updates inside NetSuite
