Cornell Manufacturing Modernizes with Move from Legacy Systems
The Client
Cornell Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Garland Enterprises, runs a more than 100-year-old paper mill, with a focus on creating felt roofing paper for the construction industry
The company manages complex manufacturing operations that require precise purchasing, inventory control, production planning and financial oversight.
Cornell chose NetSuite to improve operational efficiency, support enterprise-wide analytics, and replace outdated, manual processes.

Key challenges included:
- Heavy reliance on spreadsheets for inventory, planning, and order processes.
- Difficulty accessing or updating deposits, historical data, and past transactions.
- Reporting limitations due to batch processing and lack of customization.
- Paper-based backups and printer-dependent workflows slowing operations.
- Need for real-time data entry and more consistent, transparent information.
