Connecting the ERP to everything else

An ERP earns its place by being the single source of truth. That only holds if the systems around it write to it, rather than keeping their own copies.

Point of sale

Till transactions posting to stock and the ledger as they happen, not in an overnight batch.

E-commerce

Online orders, stock levels and pricing kept in step with the stores and the warehouse.

Payment gateways

Settlements and fees reconciled automatically against the receipts they belong to.

Banking

Statement import and reconciliation, so matching becomes review rather than data entry.

Payroll and HR

Attendance and payroll posting to the ledger with cost allocated correctly.

Legacy systems

Middleware where the old system cannot be replaced yet but must stay in step.

How we approach an integration

Most integration failures are not technical. They are unagreed rules about who wins when two systems disagree.

Question Why it decides the design
Which system owns each record? Without one owner per record type you get two versions of the truth
One-way or two-way? Two-way sync needs conflict rules; one-way is often enough and far cheaper
Real time or scheduled? Real time costs more and is not always better; some data is fine hourly
What happens on failure? Retries, alerting and a queue, so a dropped message is visible not silent
Who is alerted? An integration nobody monitors will fail quietly for weeks
Integration

Questions about connecting systems

Sometimes. Options include database-level integration, file exchange or screen automation, each with trade-offs we will set out honestly. If a reliable integration is not possible, we will say so rather than build something fragile.

That is exactly why we build through documented APIs rather than direct database writes. Upgrades still need testing, which is part of a support arrangement.

With retries, a queue and alerting to a named person. The failure mode we design against is the silent one, where data stops flowing and nobody notices for a month.
