In today’s volatile global trade environment, U.S. tariff policies have become a defining force in business strategy. Sudden shifts in rates can erode profit margins, destabilize supply chains, and introduce complex accounting and compliance challenges that demand swift, strategic responses.

How we help you

At BrokenRubik, we work with businesses running NetSuite ERP, SuiteCommerce, and Shopify, helping them stay resilient amid global trade complexity.

We’re NetSuite experts, systems architects, and long-term partners. Our clients choose us because we design robust systems and business logic that respond to real-world challenges.

Whether you're importing electronics, shipping apparel globally, or navigating post-pandemic supply shifts, our team helps you:

  • Respond faster to tariff changes
  • Maintain clear visibility into margins
  • Reduce operational risk
  • Stay fully compliant with global trade laws

How NetSuite helps businesses navigate tariffs

1. Supply chain management and flexibility

With NetSuite’s Supply Chain Management we help clients:

  • Set up multi-vendor sourcing models with vendor scorecards
  • Configure automated reordering based on region-specific costs
  • Leverage inventory location management to minimize duties

We build workflows and sourcing logic that enable proactive decision-making when tariff changes hit.

2. Real-time cost visibility for better decision making

Tariff fluctuations impact forecasting, pricing, and profit planning. We build custom dashboards and reports in NetSuite to:

  • Monitor fluctuations in COGS and landed costs (including duties and freight)
  • Track the financial impact of tariffs across products or vendors
  • Forecast gross margin shifts under new trade conditions

We configure custom reports that empower finance and operations leaders to make live data-driven decisions quickly.

3. Landed Cost accounting and tariff automation

We set up NetSuite’s Advanced Financials and Inventory modules to:

  • Automate landed cost calculations, including tariffs and duties
  • Integrate with customs and /tax APIs for real-time tariff data
  • Accurately reflect tariff costs in P&L and inventory valuation

Our automations keep your books clean, your compliance tight, and your risk of costly errors low.

4. Logistics and Customs Integration

Disconnected systems between sourcing, shipping, and customs are especially vulnerable to tariff disruption. We integrate NetSuite with:

  • Customs and freight APIs (FedEx, UPS, Descartes, etc.)
  • HS code and duty rate calculators
  • Tax automation platforms like Avalara

We make NetSuite your operational hub for global logistics, fully connected and tariff-aware.

5. Omnichannel fulfillment in SuiteCommerce and Shopify

For businesses selling online across borders, tariffs can damage the customer experience. Our team helps e-commerce operations by:

  • Displaying accurate tariff-inclusive pricing on SuiteCommerce or Shopify.
  • Setting up fulfillment logic that avoids cross-border duties
  • Local Warehouse integrations and routing orders to reduce shipping and taxes
  • Syncing inventory and pricing across global storefronts

We ensures smooth, tariff-aware selling on SuiteCommerce or Shopify, fully integrated with NetSuite.
