ERP & CRM Integration

Customer, order and inventory data flowing between the systems you already run.

What we help you achieve

When staff re-enter customer or order information across systems, errors and delays become difficult to trace. We map the information flow between your enterprise resource planning system, customer relationship management tools and other applications. The integration is designed around who owns each record, what should trigger an update and what happens when a connection fails.

Who this service is for

For sales and operations teams managing duplicate records, retailers connecting orders to back-office systems and businesses replacing manual exports.

What your project can include

Your proposal confirms the deliverables selected for your project.

  • A system and data-flow map identifying the source of truth for each record.
  • Field mappings, transformation rules and duplicate-handling requirements.
  • The agreed API, connector or scheduled import implementation.
  • Test scenarios, reconciliation checks and an exception-handling guide for staff.

Scope, timing and budget

API availability, vendor permissions, rate limits and custom fields affect feasibility and cost. We review representative records before implementation and agree how historic data is handled. External software licences and vendor-side changes are identified as dependencies rather than assumed to be included.

Example engagement

How a project like this can run

An online store could pass approved orders to an ERP system and return fulfilment updates, with a queue of records that need staff attention instead of silently dropping failed transfers.

Illustrative scope, not a reported client result. Your project is defined after discovery.

Questions about this service

Can you connect older software without an API?

We assess supported imports, exports and other authorised interfaces. A scheduled file exchange may be practical, while some systems require vendor involvement. The limitations are documented before a solution is proposed.

How do you prevent records being overwritten incorrectly?

We define ownership, update direction and conflict rules for the relevant fields. Test cases cover repeated messages, partial failures and conflicting updates, with reconciliation appropriate to the business risk.
