New embedded AI coworker lets NetSuite users query data, run native reports, build customizations, and troubleshoot scripts through plain-language chat
SUN PRAIRIE, WI / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Anchor Group, a NetSuite partner specializing in ERP and eCommerce solutions, today announced the release of Sonar, an AI assistant that operates directly inside a company's NetSuite account.
Developed by Anchor Group, Sonar gives organizations a conversational way to work across NetSuite, helping users query data, run reports, create customizations, and troubleshoot technical issues without building saved searches, custom reports, or one-off scripts from scratch.
Unlike generic chat-over-ERP tools, Sonar is embedded into NetSuite. It runs as a Suitelet within the customer's own NetSuite account, so every action follows the user's existing role, permissions, and audit trail, exactly as if the user performed it themselves. Nothing leaves the account-no middleware, proxy, or second system required.
"NetSuite holds the answers to most of the questions a business asks every day, but the number one problem has always been how much work and time it takes to get them out," says Caleb Schmitz, CRO at Anchor Group. "Sonar removes that friction. You can ask in plain English, and it writes the query, runs the real report, or builds the field for you, all inside your own account and permissions."
With Sonar, users can:
Ask better questions of their data: Run SuiteQL, analyze records, summarize results, and answer operational and financial questions through chat. Ask, "which sales orders shipped this month but haven't been invoiced yet?" and Sonar writes the query and returns the list with totals.
Run real NetSuite reports, not just approximations: Sonar drives NetSuite's native report runner, returning actual Income Statements, A/R Aging Summaries, and other financial reports with real subtotals, eliminations, and formulas, exportable as clean downloads.
Move faster on customizations and admin work: Create or inspect custom fields, custom lists, records, saved searches, roles, and permissions conversationally, with confirmation steps for sensitive actions.
Troubleshoot the one-off edge cases: Paste an error or screenshot, and Sonar inspects deployments, pulls execution logs, identifies the failing line, and proposes a fix.
Sonar ships with a growing library of 265+ free and premium professionally engineered prompts, spanning AR aging analysis, income statement variance, board-ready financial summaries, supply-chain dashboards, audit and compliance reviews, and more. Users can also define Projects (custom context documents capturing their account's conventions and quirks) so Sonar applies company-specific knowledge on every request.
Setup takes minutes and requires no server, bridge, or credentials outside NetSuite. Users install the bundle through SuiteBundler, open the URL, and start working. Sonar runs on Claude AI, selected for its complex, technical performance.
Sonar is free to use, with optional premium prompts available. No subscriptions or upfront purchase required.
Sonar is available now exclusively through Anchor Group. To request free access or learn more, visit https://www.anchorgroup.tech/products/sonar.
