Tom and TeamBlue are keeping 5 (!) NetSuite Sandboxes and Production in perfect sync

‍

About Tom and the TeamBlue Project

Tom Newton is the NetSuite solution lead on implementation projects at TeamBlue, spearheading an ambitious finance transformation across a highly complex European organization. 

When the project kicked off in January 2024, the landscape was a tangle of 17 different ERP systems, 20 separate finance teams, and over 120 finance professionals—all operating across multiple countries with different regulatory needs.

“Obviously in a hairball of completely different systems.”

The mission? Unify it all under one NetSuite instance, delivering a global template and a single source of financial truth across the group.

After going live in August 2024 with pilot entities in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, TeamBlue quickly scaled up with larger deployments in Denmark and nine more Netherlands entities by January 2025. 

It’s a fast-moving project with high complexity—and no room for error.

A better way to deploy between 5 sandboxes and production

With five dedicated sandboxes—for development, integration, data migration, UAT, and production support—TeamBlue needed a rock-solid process to keep environments aligned and changes flowing in sync.

Salto made that possible.

This isn’t theoretical—it’s happening every day. From initial config in sandbox 1 to final promotion to production, Salto gives Tom’s team control, speed, and clarity at every step.

Dependencies handled, Jira-aligned workflows respected

Salto fits neatly into TeamBlue’s Jira-based change lifecycle. With every deployment tied to a Jira ticket, it’s easy to track what’s been deployed, where, and why.

‍

Once a change clears UAT, it’s just a click to promote the exact same package to production—with full traceability.

Built-in audit trail = built-in peace of mind

With a transformation project of this size, governance and auditability are non-negotiable. Every deployment must be documented and traceable.

‍

Scaling change with clarity—even as a small team

Tom’s team is lean and moving fast—but not at the expense of confidence. Salto makes it possible for a small team to validate every change, catch every detail, and deploy without second-guessing.

‍

Tom doesn’t have to dive into NetSuite’s UI to double-check field settings or permissions. Salto surfaces those changes directly—clear, visual, and color-coded.

‍

Even when deploying JavaScript files—something Tom doesn’t write himself—he can visually confirm that the changes are right.

‍

Conflicts caught before they cause chaos

In a setup with five sandboxes and fast-moving workstreams, conflicts happen. But Salto keeps things from going off the rails.

That kind of safeguard means no more nervous deployments—and no more surprises in production.

‍

So, it could’ve been a hairball—but instead, it’s one of the cleanest, fastest-moving NetSuite setups you’ll see.
