What is a modular ERP, WMS & CRM?

A modular ERP, WMS & CRM sells each operational capability — finance, HR, warehouse, logistics, customer management, analytics — as a separately-priced product instead of one monolithic suite. Buyers pick only the modules they need today and add more as they grow. OpsUI is modular by design: 20 operational modules covering ERP, WMS, and built-in customer management, plus 5 integration connectors (NetSuite live today; Xero, MYOB, Abel ERP and SAP Business One wired during rollout) — all individually priced.

Can OpsUI run alongside NetSuite?

Yes. OpsUI supports bidirectional NetSuite sync out of the box. Customers running NetSuite frequently buy specific OpsUI modules — Wave Picking, Slotting Optimisation, ML/AI Predictions — to upgrade operational areas without replacing the GL.

Is OpsUI suitable for Australian and New Zealand small businesses?

Yes. OpsUI is built for Australian and New Zealand operations. Australian customers use opsui.au with AUD pricing and AU-region data hosting; New Zealand customers use opsui.co.nz with NZD pricing and NZ-region data hosting.

Does OpsUI integrate with Xero or MYOB?

Yes. OpsUI ships bidirectional sync for both Xero and MYOB via the Finance & Accounting module — wired against your accounting tenant during rollout rather than installed from an app marketplace. Customers, items, chart of accounts and tax codes flow from your accounting system into OpsUI; sales invoices, credit notes, payment status updates and inventory adjustments flow back. Built on the Xero REST API + webhooks and MYOB's AccountRight Live + Business APIs. Full sync detail at opsui.co.nz/integrations/xero or opsui.au/integrations/xero. A documented REST API on every module is also available for custom integration.

Where is OpsUI customer data hosted?

New Zealand customer data is hosted in New Zealand. Australian customer data is hosted in Australia. Both regions are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, with role-based access control and full audit logging.

How long does an OpsUI rollout take?

Honest answer: it depends on your data, integrations, and team availability — every business is different. We don't quote a fixed timeline on the website because we'd be inventing a number. We scope your specific implementation during the demo. Enterprise rollouts use a stage plan: scope, configure, train, go-live — one module set at a time.

Is there a free trial?

OpsUI runs guided demos rather than self-serve trials, because most module value depends on real data being loaded. Demos are direct to a person via opsui.au/book-demo or opsui.co.nz/book-demo — no sales-development sequence.

NetSuite WMS alternatives for NZ & AU operations

On NetSuite but finding its WMS module heavy or pricey? The realistic alternatives for ANZ warehouses — including running a lighter WMS layer alongside NetSuite via bidirectional sync.

In one line

If NetSuite's WMS module feels heavy or expensive for your warehouse, the realistic ANZ alternatives are a dedicated WMS that syncs to NetSuite, a 3PL-specialist WMS, or a modular platform like OpsUI that runs alongside NetSuite via bidirectional sync — so you keep the NetSuite ledger and add a lighter, in-region warehouse layer on top.

NetSuite WMS is the native warehouse module for businesses already running NetSuite ERP. It's capable and tightly integrated with the NetSuite ledger, but it's a separate licence on top of an already-premium platform, and for many ANZ warehouses it's more — and more expensive — than the operation needs.

The good news: you don't have to choose between NetSuite WMS and ripping out NetSuite. The most common alternative pattern is to keep NetSuite as the financial system of record and run a lighter, specialised WMS layer on top that syncs bidirectionally — getting in-region data, native NZ carriers and a faster rollout without touching the GL.

This page lays out the realistic alternatives for NZ and AU operators and where each fits — including when staying on NetSuite WMS is still the right call.

Honest pick

When NetSuite WMS is still the right call

If you're a large NetSuite site and the value of a single system of record outweighs cost — one data model, no sync to maintain, finance and warehouse in the same platform — NetSuite WMS is the cleanest answer.
If you run sophisticated multi-entity, multi-currency operations where the warehouse must stay inside the NetSuite transaction flow, the native module avoids integration overhead.
And if you've already paid for and configured NetSuite WMS, the marginal cost of using it is low — there's no reason to add a second tool unless it solves a specific gap (in-region data, NZ carriers, faster change).

Where OpsUI shines

When a lighter WMS layer alongside NetSuite wins

Many ANZ operators bought NetSuite for finance and find its WMS module is more than the warehouse needs, slow to change, or hosted offshore. Running OpsUI's warehouse modules alongside NetSuite — connected by bidirectional, event-driven sync that's live in production today — keeps the ledger where it is and puts a faster, in-region warehouse layer on top.
You get NZ data residency, NZ Couriers built into the Shipping module, and warehouse changes you can make in weeks rather than through a change request — at public per-module pricing instead of another licence negotiation.
And for operators who haven't committed to NetSuite, OpsUI can be the whole operations layer (warehouse + orders + CRM) on top of Xero or MYOB, skipping the NetSuite cost base entirely.

ANZ context

Bidirectional NetSuite sync is the live, self-serve integration OpsUI ships today — customers running NetSuite can adopt OpsUI warehouse modules without replacing the GL. Production data stays in-region (NZ in NZ, AU in AU), NZ Couriers is built into the Shipping module, and pricing is public per-module from NZ$299/month. For operators weighing the full NetSuite question (not just the WMS module), see /compare/opsui-vs-netsuite and /compare/netsuite-alternatives-nz-au.

Common questions

What buyers ask before choosing.

Can I use a different WMS with NetSuite?

Yes. A common pattern is to keep NetSuite as the financial system of record and run a specialised WMS layer on top, connected by bidirectional sync. OpsUI does exactly this — its NetSuite integration is live and event-driven, so stock movements, orders and fulfilment flow between the two while NetSuite stays the ledger.

Why look for a NetSuite WMS alternative?

Usually cost, speed of change, or data location. NetSuite WMS is a premium add-on licence on top of an already-premium ERP, changes often run through a partner engagement, and data sits in global Oracle data centres. A lighter WMS layer can deliver in-region (NZ/AU) hosting, native NZ carriers and week-scale changes at public per-module pricing, without leaving NetSuite for finance.

Is OpsUI a replacement for NetSuite?

Not necessarily — it's designed to run alongside NetSuite as a specialised WMS/operations layer via bidirectional sync, so you keep the NetSuite ledger. If you're not committed to NetSuite, OpsUI can also be the full operations layer on top of Xero or MYOB. See /compare/opsui-vs-netsuite for the head-to-head.

How much does OpsUI cost compared to NetSuite WMS?

OpsUI publishes flat modular pricing from NZ$299/module/month with five users included, so a core warehouse stack is budgetable on /pricing. NetSuite WMS is a quote-based add-on licence on top of NetSuite, so the all-in cost is higher and not public. The honest comparison is total three-year cost including implementation — model it on /tools/erp-cost-calculator.

What are the main NetSuite WMS alternatives in NZ and AU?

The realistic field is: a modular cloud platform like OpsUI that syncs to NetSuite (or replaces the need for it on Xero/MYOB), a dedicated 3PL WMS like CartonCloud or Extensiv if you're a fulfilment provider, and inventory-led platforms like Cin7 or Unleashed for lighter needs. Choose on whether you're keeping NetSuite, how warehouse-heavy you are, and your data-residency and carrier requirements.
