The Challenge of Integration
Following a merger, Flutterbee faced the challenge of managing five separate ERP systems, each with inconsistent data structures. There was no single view of orders, inventory, or financials. Electronic data interchange (EDI) relied on manual file uploads, and inventory was scattered across multiple 3PLs and consignment warehouses. The need to unify operations and integrate systems following the merger was urgent and complex.

Selecting NetSuite and Celigo
Flutterbee knew it couldn’t rely on patchwork solutions or siloed vendors. To solve these challenges, Flutterbee selected NetSuite as its ERP platform and chose Celigo to serve as the integration layer. They partnered with NuageSync for implementation due to their track record of fast execution on complex projects.
As Gabe Kaufman, COO of Flutterbee, explained, “We were under pressure to go live in less than four months. NuageSync not only met the deadline-they built robust integrations from scratch in just six weeks.”
Transformation with Celigo
Before Celigo, Flutterbee had no integration platform and relied on a patchwork of manual processes, FTP drops, and logins across disconnected systems. Today, teams operate with much greater autonomy. Finance now closes the books in one-third the time, thanks to unified systems and automated reconciliations. Sales and operations have more reliable visibility into order and fulfillment data, and Flutterbee can manage and adapt integrations internally.
As Gabe Kaufman put it, they’ve moved from flying blind to owning their infrastructure: “We’re finally in control of our own infrastructure.”
Ongoing Modernization
Flutterbee is continuing its modernization journey. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that the company remains at the forefront of educational publishing, leveraging technology to enhance its operations and better serve its customers.
