Scaling Without Losing Momentum
Kona Ice’s rapid expansion brought new opportunities, and new complexity. As the organization grew, leadership needed clearer visibility into financial performance and more consistent processes to support a distributed franchise model. Existing systems made it difficult to move quickly, access real-time insights, and confidently support ongoing growth. To keep momentum strong, Kona Ice knew it was time to modernize the technology supporting the business.
Terillium was an invaluable partner in our NetSuite implementation. Their professionalism and expertise made a very complicated process manageable; it simply wouldn’t have been possible without them. With NetSuite, we’ve been able to shift our focus away from time consuming tasks like system consolidation and inefficient processes, allowing us to concentrate on things that matter. This implementation was a critical step toward scaling our brands for the future

Building a Platform for Sustainable Growth
Working closely with Kona Ice, Terillium implemented NetSuite to provide a centralized, cloud-based ERP foundation. The platform was designed to streamline financial operations, standardize key processes, and deliver the visibility needed to support decision-making at scale. By aligning the system to Kona Ice’s business model and growth strategy, Terillium helped create an ERP environment that was flexible, efficient, and ready to evolve as the organization continues to expand.
Turning Visibility into Measurable Impact
With NetSuite in place, Kona Ice gained improved control over its financial operations and clearer insight across the organization. Teams can now operate with greater efficiency, leadership has access to timely and reliable data, and the business is better positioned to scale without added complexity.
In addition to strengthening financial operations, the NetSuite implementation helped Kona Ice streamline manufacturing processes, enhance financial reporting, and improve visibility through Shopify integration. By consolidating systems and standardizing workflows within a single ERP platform, Kona Ice gained more accurate reporting, faster insights, and a scalable operational foundation to support continued growth.
