Archer TrustAI™
It starts by connecting Claude and other assistants to your NetSuite data through the AI Connector Service, under the roles your team already has and a documented audit trail. It extends to the other systems your work runs on. All of it under one method built for teams that answer to auditors.
AI does not replace your people. It changes what they spend the day on. Routine production drops to the assistant. Judgment, exceptions, and decisions rise to your team.

With Archer TrustAI in place
Across the finance and operations teams we meet, the same picture repeats. The cost is not one large failure. It is a hundred small handoffs that nobody owns, and it compounds as you scale.
01
Contracts in one sheet, leads in a CRM, invoices in a third place. No single source of truth.
02
The same record is keyed into several systems, each entry a fresh chance to introduce an error.
03
Invoices printed for sign-off, scanned back to PDF, and filed. The approval lives in an email thread.
04
What the business knows sits in a few heads, not in a system a reviewer or an auditor can query.
NetSuite's AI Connector Service exposes your live ERP data through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants connect to it and answer questions in plain language: AR aging, open purchase orders, project burn rates, GL drilldowns. The assistant sees only what the user's NetSuite role already allows.
For a life sciences company the compliance side is where most of the work is. The role has to be scoped correctly, the connection has to be tested, the queries have to be validated, and there has to be a way to roll back if something changes. That is the part Archer configures, and it is the same discipline we bring to a NetSuite implementation.

Finance, operations, and R&D teams ask questions the way they would ask a colleague. The assistant queries NetSuite in real time and returns a structured answer, with no SQL, no report building, and no waiting on IT.
Finance
"Show me overdue invoices over $50K and flag the ones tied to clinical trial sponsors."
Projects and R&D
"What is actual vs. budget by program this quarter, and which projects are burning fastest?"
Operations and supply chain
"Summarize open POs by vendor for our radiopharma site, and surface anything older than 30 days."
Compliance
"Which HCP payments this quarter are missing NPI validation before the Sunshine Act reporting window?"
AP and procurement
"How many vendor bills are pending approval past their due date, and who is the current approver on each?"
Executive
"Give me a one paragraph summary of cash position, open POs, and top overdue receivables for the board update."
The AI Connector Service is a Model Context Protocol server, and MCP is an open standard. That choice matters beyond NetSuite. The same connection pattern, the same access model, and the same audit trail reach the other systems your work depends on. You do not rebuild the controls each time you add one.
The ERP is the first connection and the best understood one. The MCP role is scoped to the permissions your team already carries, tested in sandbox, and documented before it reaches production.
Your CRM, your contract and document repositories, a quality system, a data warehouse. Each connects through MCP under one access policy and one audit trail, not a separate integration to govern on its own.
An assistant can read a sponsor's contract terms, its open POs, and its overdue invoices in a single answer, with each source still honoring its own role permissions. Nobody stitches three exports together by hand.
Contracts IQ, Quality Management System, Sunshine Act Module, Invoice OCR Capture, and Approvals App become queryable once the connector scope is set, so the records you built for compliance answer questions too.
NetSuite Next is Oracle's rebuild of the suite as an AI-native ERP, with intelligence embedded at every layer rather than added on top. Ask Oracle puts one conversational interface over the whole system, and every answer carries source citations so a person can check it before acting. For life sciences that arrives as audit-ready compliance reporting across clinical and commercial operations.
Search, navigate, and analyze your business data in natural language, across the suite rather than one screen at a time.
Source citations on every response, so your team can validate, act, and refine with the record in front of them.
AI-assisted compliance summaries built for the reviews and audits that regulated teams face.
Oracle has designed the move for existing customers with no data migration or rework, so the change is a decision, not a project.
Archer is one of the early partners with access to NetSuite Next, so your team is guided by people who have already worked in the environment.
NetSuite Next
Native intelligence and a conversational interface across your NetSuite data.
Archer TrustAI
The policy, the validation evidence, and the connections to systems beyond NetSuite that make it defensible in a regulated setting.
Archer modules are NetSuite Next compatible. Contracts IQ, Quality Management System, Sunshine Act Module, Invoice OCR Capture, Approvals App, and 3PL Integration are built to run on NetSuite Next, so the compliance records your team depends on carry forward, and TrustAI has your roles, controls, and evidence ready for the day you make the switch.
Responsible AI adoption in a regulated setting is not a single capability. It is four disciplines that reinforce each other. The readiness sprint scores your environment against these pillars. The implementation builds them out.
PILLAR 01
Secure, explainable, and accountable AI.
In a regulated business, an answer you cannot trace is a liability, not an asset. Trust means every output shows its work: the records it read, the logic it applied, and the person accountable for the decision. An assistant inherits the permissions of the user in front of it, so it never surfaces data that person is not already cleared to see. When an auditor asks why a number moved, the answer is on the record rather than in someone's memory.
PILLAR 02
Policies, risk management, and human oversight.
Governance answers four questions before a single assistant goes live: who can use AI, for what, on which data, and how outputs get reviewed. We write that policy with you, score each use case by impact and likelihood in a risk register your quality and compliance teams recognize, and set a human review gate so nothing reaches a regulated record without a person approving it. The controls map to frameworks you already answer to, including SOX 302/404 and your internal access model.
PILLAR 03
Testing, documentation, and evidence appropriate for regulated environments.
This is the pillar most AI pilots skip, and it is the reason most of them cannot survive an inspection. Validation means test scripts with expected results, documented behavior for each assistant, and the evidence package your quality team and your auditors expect. We build it around 21 CFR Part 11 expectations and GAMP 5, Second Edition thinking, and we install and test in sandbox before anything reaches production. The runbooks stay with you, so the work holds up through staff turnover and repeat audits.
PILLAR 04
Integration into enterprise systems and business processes.
A pilot that never reaches the rest of the team returns nothing. Deployment connects the assistants to the systems your work already lives in, NetSuite or any ERP, your CRM, your contract and document repositories, then puts them into the hands of real roles. We roll out in stages, starting with managers, and we include the training and prompting enablement that decides whether adoption holds. This is the same delivery discipline Archer brings to an ERP implementation, applied to AI.
In a regulated environment, trust is the product.
Each assistant sees only what the user's role permits. The examples below come from assistants Archer runs inside its own business today.
Executive
A morning brief on what changed, what needs a decision today, and where attention should go across the business.
Finance
AR aging past a threshold, margin and project burn, and the invoices tied to a given sponsor, produced on request.
Operations
Open POs by vendor and site, anything aging past 30 days, and the exceptions that need a person to decide.
Sales
Call notes captured automatically, follow-ups drafted, and the CRM kept current without manual entry.
The connector engagement leaves your team with a working setup and the paperwork a change control review will ask for.
The sprint is a paid engagement that takes the risk out of the larger build. It is the gate to implementation, not a giveaway. You can stop after the sprint with a roadmap you own.
Tier 01
You leave with a decision ready roadmap, whether or not you continue with Archer.
Tier 02
Your team moves from producing routine work to reviewing it, with the hours returned measured against the baseline.
Archer runs Claude against live NetSuite data inside its own delivery team. Your setup is based on a validated operating pattern, not an experiment in your ERP.
