Tim Dietrich — Co-Founder

You're running on NetSuite. It handles the core, but there are things it wasn't built to do. You need a customer-facing portal. A custom checkout flow. A mobile field service app your technicians can actually use. An integration that connects NetSuite to the other systems your team relies on. Maybe you're exploring how AI could work with your NetSuite data to automate decisions, surface insights, or save your team hours of manual work. And the out-of-the-box options don't cut it. I've spent 8+ years building custom software that extends NetSuite into territory Oracle never planned for: Web apps, portals, APIs, mobile tools, integrations, and AI-powered solutions. Before specializing in NetSuite, I spent nearly two decades developing business software for the Library of Congress, Siemens, CarMax, the University of Virginia, and dozens of other organizations. I also built the SuiteQL Query Tool, a widely-used utility that lets NetSuite users run SQL queries directly inside their ERP. Here's what working with me looks like: I build external applications that connect to your NetSuite instance and give your team or your customers the exact experience they need. I also help NetSuite teams put AI to work in practical, measurable ways: real solutions tied to your data and workflows, not generic chatbots. A few examples: • Custom NetSuite/Stripe checkout integration • Customer portal integrating NetSuite, PayFlow Pro, and Inksoft • Field service portal for a medical equipment company • Custom APIs and webhook listeners across multiple industries • Integrations with ServiceNow, Airtable, Onshape, and more If you're on NetSuite and need a custom application, or you want to explore what AI can do with your ERP data, let's chat.

Suitestep

Founder

Jul 2025 – Present · 10 mos · Richmond, VA

I founded SuiteStep to help companies running NetSuite do more than it was designed to do.
Most businesses hit a ceiling with out-of-the-box NetSuite. They need customer-facing portals, custom checkout flows, field service apps, third-party integrations, or AI-powered workflows - and the standard options fall short. That's where SuiteStep comes in.
I design and build custom external applications, integrations, and AI solutions that extend NetSuite into the specific workflows my clients need. I work directly with operations leaders, IT teams, and founders to scope, build, and deliver solutions that make their NetSuite investment work harder.
I also maintain the SuiteQL Query Tool and continue to contribute to the NetSuite developer community through writing and open resources.

NetSuite Developer

Oct 2017 – Jul 2025 · 7 yrs 9 mos · Richmond, Virginia, United States

Over nearly 8 years, I built dozens of custom solutions for companies running NetSuite across wholesale distribution, promotional products, medical equipment, financial services, and more.
The common thread: every client needed NetSuite to do something it couldn't do on its own, and they needed someone who understood both the platform deeply and how to build production-grade external software.
Selected projects:
Built a custom NetSuite/Stripe checkout integration that replaced a manual payment workflow for an e-commerce operation
Developed a customer portal integrating NetSuite, PayFlow Pro, and Inksoft — giving end customers self-service access to their accounts and order history
Created a field service portal for a medical equipment company, putting real-time NetSuite data in the hands of technicians in the field
Designed and built custom Web APIs and webhook listeners for clients needing external systems to communicate with NetSuite
Developed integrations connecting NetSuite with ServiceNow, FileMaker, Airtable, and Onshape
Assisted with multiple NetSuite ERP implementations for wholesale distribution companies
Built SuiteQL queries and applications that improved warehouse team efficiency for a distribution client

Apr 2008 – Oct 2017 · 9 yrs 6 mos · Richmond, Virginia Area

Before specializing in NetSuite, I spent nearly a decade building custom business software for organizations ranging from small businesses to Fortune 50 companies. This is where I developed the integration architecture expertise and cross-industry experience I bring to my NetSuite work today.
Notable projects:
Library of Congress — Built a custom legal case management system
Siemens Industry — Developed a mobile application for building technicians to inspect and service large HVAC systems
CarMax — Created a project management system for their creative services team
University of Virginia — Built an internship management system
Dominion Energy — Developed time tracking and project management tools for creative services
I also began my NetSuite work during this period, helping a promotional products distributor implement, customize, and integrate their ERP - which became the catalyst for my full specialization.
