Transcript

00:00To private equity sponsors and operating partners here in Las Vegas: your post-acquisition value creation shouldn't be trapped in forty-page slide decks.

00:11At DataOngoing, we measure our work strictly in basis points of EBITDA. Two hours of executive input returns hundreds of automated hours, proven in our 100x time ledger.

00:24First, a 48 to 72-hour AI technology diligence read to price technical debt before wiring capital. Second, compressing your 21-day multi-entity close down to 3. Third, automated floor-to-ledger data ingestion straight into NetSuite.

00:44We ship working code in 14-day sprints. If it does not run in production, the milestone is not billed. Visit DataOngoing.ai to schedule a private advisory session.

HelpAirs technology for NetSuite: five roles, one service

Hire a NetSuite Analyst, Admin and SuiteScript Developer: Five Roles, One Supervised Service

HelpAirs covers the NetSuite administrator, SuiteScript developer, business analyst, support specialist and QA queues as one AI service that a principal architect supervises: it answers questions from live SuiteQL, drafts records that pass your validation rules, posts documents through an OCR pipeline, and a person approves every write. Modeled 20-80% below the $1,000,000 a year the five salaried roles cost fully loaded; your team is repurposed, not replaced.

What you are hiring

Searching for a NetSuite analyst, a NetSuite administrator or a SuiteScript developer usually means a queue has outgrown the people carrying it: report requests, saved searches, permission changes, CSV fixes, re-keyed invoices, brittle User Event scripts. HelpAirs takes the routine part of all five queues as one supervised AI service, and the DataOngoing principal architect (13 years of NetSuite work; 80+ subsidiaries automated, founder track record) carries the architecture. Your people keep the exceptions, the approvals and the judgment calls.

Role by role

Five roles, one supervised AI service, and what each person does instead

The costs are the modeled defaults from the calculator; the hours are the routine queue work that moves to HelpAirs, 55-81% of a 2,080-hour year, modeled. The person stays; the queue moves.

Hours and costs are modeled defaults and sum to the figures in the hero; the arithmetic is reproduced in the calculator so you can replace every figure with your own.

When your NetSuite admin quits

A NetSuite administrator, developer or analyst gives notice, and the routine queue they carried has no second person. When your records are structured and most of what the departing person does is routine, HelpAirs takes that queue in fourteen days (Track A), so a resignation becomes a handoff instead of a hiring emergency: the 0-4 Role Risk Index records what the role touches, chat answers the report requests, governed record creation takes the re-keying, OCR takes the documents, and what remains of the role is written down as runbooks. The hiring decision is then made on the exception work that is left, not on the queue that moved.

When the departing person is also the one who knows where the colliding scripts and spreadsheet workarounds live, a tool bolted on top would guess. Track B starts with the 48-72 hour AI technology diligence read, which captures the tenant as it is from access; a fixed-fee two-week sprint then turns the workarounds into deterministic processes before HelpAirs is switched on. Both paths, with their day-by-day phases, are on the home page under Attrition.

What it costs

Every HelpAirs engagement is fixed scope and fixed price, quoted after the strategy call against your own figures: the $1M five-role calculator replaces each modeled cost with your actual payroll and lets you pick the savings tier (Dedicated Pod at 20%, Hybrid at 50%, HelpAirs Box at 80%). Savings appear only as arithmetic on your inputs, never as a promise. There are no time-and-materials overruns, the 10x fee guarantee is written into every engagement letter, and every published outcome carries its source class on the results ledger.

If your data is not ready, the 48-72 hour read comes first: a flat fee, credited in full against the sprint that follows, and the only cost if you decide not to proceed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire a NetSuite analyst through DataOngoing?

Yes, as capacity rather than a resume. HelpAirs covers the NetSuite business analyst queue: plain-English questions answered from live SuiteQL across GL, inventory, AR/AP and multi-entity consolidations, with the rows cited. The DataOngoing principal architect supervises the service and takes the analysis a model should not make alone. If you need a salaried analyst on your own payroll, we are not a staffing agency, and we will say so on the call.

What NetSuite support services are included?

The routine support queue: governed record creation (sales orders, purchase orders and vendor bills drafted from documents and chat, each approved by a person before it posts), the OCR document-to-ledger pipeline, CSV and saved-search fixes, and user, role and permission changes audited on the 0-4 Role Risk Index. Exceptions, approvals and judgment calls stay with your team.

Do you provide a SuiteScript developer?

Yes. SuiteScript 2.1 work ships in fixed-fee two-week sprints under the principal architect: Single Entry Point routers that replace colliding User Event scripts, RESTlet and integration work, Map/Reduce refactors of slow synchronous scripts, and sandbox-to-production regression checks before each NetSuite release. Everything is delivered as reproducible code and SOPs that stay with you.

Is HelpAirs a replacement for my NetSuite team?

No. The business case is repurposing, not layoffs: the routine queue moves to HelpAirs and the people who carried it move to the exceptions, customers and margin work the queue was crowding out. The 20-80% figure is modeled against the five-role stack and is yours to recompute in the calculator with your own payroll.

How quickly can it start?

Two tracks. With structured records and clean core workflows (Track A), HelpAirs goes from a read-only audit to production in fourteen days. With duplicate SKUs, colliding scripts or un-integrated acquisitions (Track B), the 48-72 hour AI technology diligence read comes first, then a fixed-fee two-week sprint re-architects the processes before HelpAirs is switched on.

Who supervises the AI, and can it change my data?

AI reads freely and writes only through a person: every record HelpAirs drafts passes your mandatory-field validation rules and waits for an approval before it posts, and the DataOngoing principal architect governs the service. Role-level segregation of duties is set on day one, before HelpAirs reads a row.
