Control Cutter gets full control over global operations with Netsuite

Founded in 2010, Control Cutter has emerged as a pioneering force within the oil and gas sector. Initially focused on enhancing safety in anchor-cutting, the company’s innovative approach has expanded to include cutting-edge solutions for well plug and abandonment (P&A) operations. Their unique and patented technology enables the cutting of resistant metals, a crucial need in demanding offshore environments. With a growing global footprint, Control Cutter faced the challenge of managing complex operations while maintaining efficiency and adaptability across borders. For this, they turned to NetSuite, a leading cloud ERP platform, and Antire, a trusted partner in implementation and digital transformation.

The challenge: Managing growth and global expansion

Control Cutter’s rapid growth meant they needed a system to scale with them while simplifying their operational management. Their offshore projects require high precision and real-time decision-making, making a robust and flexible ERP solution essential. They were also seeking a partner who understood the complexities of their industry and could guide them through the digital transformation journey.

Lukas David, CEO at Control Cutter, emphasises,

The implementation of NetSuite by Antire has greatly improved our operations and efficiency, setting the stage for continued growth and success.

Control Cutter selected NetSuite for its scalability, flexibility, and seamless integration with global operations. However, a successful implementation requires more than just technology—it demands expertise, structure, and an understanding of both the platform and the business. That’s where Antire came in.

Antire’s competency in delivering ERP solutions stood out, and their structured approach set the foundation for success.

This project had well-defined phases and responsibilities with an eager and involved customer. We started with a pre-project to define the key needs for Control Cutter and set the scope while involving all stakeholders and participants. This laid a good foundation for the main project and ensured that the customer was continuously informed,

says Bjørnar Halvorsen, Delivery Lead at Antire.

Collaboration and execution: A partnership for success

The collaboration between Control Cutter and Antire made this implementation stand out. Control Cutter’s hands-on approach and swift decision-making facilitated an efficient process. “It felt like we delivered the results together,” Halvorsen adds, highlighting the synergy between the teams. The project was executed in well-defined phases, with continuous communication and feedback loops ensuring that Control Cutter remained informed at every stage.

The implementation of NetSuite has already shown tangible benefits for Control Cutter. The ERP system has streamlined global operations, providing real-time data and insights critical for managing offshore projects.

Looking ahead: Incremental  improvement

The initial phase of the NetSuite implementation has laid a solid foundation for future expansions. Control Cutter and Antire will continue evolving the system in stages to accommodate future growth and innovation. Next on the agenda is a review of Field Service and Time Tracking options. By working closely with Antire, Control Cutter can ensure that its systems continue to adapt and improve as its business evolves.

Control Cutter’s success story is a testament to the power of collaboration and strategic technology implementation. Antire’s structured approach and deep expertise, combined with NetSuite’s powerful capabilities, have positioned Control Cutter for continued growth. Together, they have built a flexible and scalable system that meets the demands of a fast-growing global company, ensuring Control Cutter can focus on innovation and efficiency and create unique offshore services worldwide.
