Canter Power Systems, a PE-backed residential backup generator provider acquiring and integrating multiple companies, needed a unified ERP to replace fragmented QuickBooks environments and disconnected field service systems. CrossCountry Consulting implemented NetSuite and built a repeatable integration framework connecting Zoho, ServiceTitan, and a proprietary quoting platform while standardizing operations and positioning the company to onboard future acquisitions efficiently.
The challenge: no unified system of record across a growing acquisition portfolio
Canter Power Systems operated across a growing portfolio of acquired companies, each running on different systems and workflows. Multiple business units relied on separate platforms for financials, field service, quoting, procurement, and warehouse management, making it impossible to maintain a single source of truth or gain real-time visibility across the enterprise.
As the company continued its acquisition strategy, backed by private equity sponsor Rotunda Capital, leadership needed a scalable ERP platform that could consolidate financial and operational data, standardize processes across subsidiaries, and support the efficient onboarding of future portfolio companies.
What CrossCountry Consulting delivered
- NetSuite ERP implementation as the financial and operational foundation
- Custom integrations with Zoho, ServiceTitan, and Canter’s proprietary quoting and field service platform
- Procurement and warehouse management workflows moved into NetSuite
- Standardized financial reporting structures across all business units
- Process standardization across acquired subsidiaries in coordination with Rotunda Capital
- Repeatable integration framework for on-boarding future acquisitions
How we built a NetSuite integration framework for a multi-entity acquisition strategy
CrossCountry implemented NetSuite as the central record system and built tailored integrations connecting three distinct platforms across Canter’s subsidiaries: Zoho, ServiceTitan, and Canter’s proprietary quoting and field service management solution. Each integration bridges systems with different data structures while enabling procurement and warehouse management workflows to move directly into NetSuite.
Beyond the technical build, CrossCountry worked alongside Canter Power Systems’ internal stakeholders and Rotunda Capital to use the implementation as an active standardization effort, establishing consistent workflows and reporting structures across acquired businesses. The result was not just a working integration but a repeatable model: a documented framework that allows Canter to onboard additional acquisitions into NetSuite with consistent financial and operational reporting from day one.
Results: consolidated financials and a repeatable model for acquisition onboarding
With NetSuite live, Canter Power Systems:
- Consolidated financial operations across subsidiaries, eliminating fragmented QuickBooks environments
- Replaced manual reconciliation between field operations and financial systems with automated integrations
- Reduced chart of accounts from over 5,000 separate accounts to under 500 through financial segmentation review, giving leadership a cleaner, more manageable financial structure
- Consolidated four separate QuickBooks instances into a single NetSuite environment, with two additional acquisitions on track to migrate this month, bringing the total to six entities on one platform
- Improved reporting accuracy and accelerated month-end close activities
- Gave leadership real-time visibility into profitability and performance across the business
- Established a repeatable integration framework already used to onboard three additional acquisitions following the initial implementation
