What is Hexline?
Hexline is a NetSuite app from Snapshot Design for fastener and industrial component distributors with $10M to $300M in revenue. It adds quick order by customer part number, a quote workbench, blanket orders and releases, certificate holds, VMI routes, EDI, GS1 labels and Section 232 tariff recovery to NetSuite.
Who is Hexline built for?
Hexline is built for OEM-focused or mixed OEM and MRO fastener distributors that run VMI routes and handle their own imports.
How does Hexline handle Section 232 tariffs?
Hexline adds Section 232 surcharges as a separate invoice line or builds them into the price, allocates container freight and duty to each lot as landed cost, and reports tariffs recovered against tariffs paid, with what-if scenarios.
Can customers order by their own part numbers?
Inside sales can paste a customer's part numbers into quick order, and Hexline resolves each one to your SKU through a cross-reference, enforces order minimums and multiples, and logs every change to a cross-reference.
How does Hexline manage certifications and quality holds?
Mill test reports and certificates of conformance attach to each lot, and Hexline holds a shipment until the required documents are on file.
Does Hexline support vendor-managed inventory?
Hexline plans VMI routes, takes bin scans through its VMI API, sets demand-driven reorder points and bills consignment usage as native NetSuite transfers and invoices.
How does Hexline handle EDI?
Hexline processes inbound 850, 830 and 840 documents and outbound 855, 856 and 810 documents through your EDI provider and maps each one to a native NetSuite transaction. EDI is not native to NetSuite, so a third-party EDI platform handles the X12 envelope and transport.
