How Bridgepoint Consulting Is Leveraging NetSuite MCP AI Connector
At Bridgepoint, we’re focused on helping our clients turn data into insights. With the new MCP connector and Claude integration, we now have a powerful way to deliver next-level analysis without adding overhead to your team.
We recently decided to put the new MCP connector to the test. We connected NetSuite to Claude and asked it to analyze our inventory turnover performance. Here’s what happened:
Prompt to Claude:
“In my NetSuite account, show me my inventory turnover rate for the last 12 months, broken down by quarter. Also, provide the average days on hand for each quarter. Please emphasize our best-selling and worst-selling items, and offer suggestions for improvement. Include diagrams if possible.”
Immediately, it went straight to work. Here’s what it came up with:
First, it delivered a concise yet detailed summary of our inventory data from the past year. Key highlights included:
- Annual turnover rate
- Quarterly breakdowns of inventory turnover and average days on hand
- Identification of top-performing and underperforming SKUs
- Actionable recommendations for improving inventory management
What impressed us most was the automatically generated visual dashboard. Claude presented our data through clean, insightful charts, making it easy to identify trends and areas for improvement at a glance.
Encouraged by the results, we pushed Claude a bit further with another prompt:
Prompt to Claude:
“Based on historical sales data, which products are at risk of a stockout in the next 60 days? What are the recommended reorder quantities?”
The results were even more impressive. Claude not only highlighted items at risk of stockouts but also:
- Classified items by stockout risk level: medium, high, and critical
- Recommended reorder quantities per item
- Outlined potential financial impact if no action is taken
- Provided next-step actions to avoid disruption
The output included an expanded dashboard with risk-based visuals and forecasting models, giving us a clear, proactive path forward.
We also tested Claude with a manufacturing operations prompt:
Prompt to Claude:
“Compare machine utilization across all work centers in the last quarter and highlight the top 3 underutilized resources. Include recommendations to balance the load.”
Again, Claude went straight to work:
After calling multiple functions, it was able to give us a summarized report:
And then finally, it gave us a longer, more detailed report:
Claude delivered:
- A summarized report with utilization stats across all work centers
- A detailed breakdown highlighting the top three underutilized resources
- Optimization recommendations, including load balancing strategies
- A visual dashboard showing work order status, completion rates, and bottlenecks
