FAQ ERP Integration
What is ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)?
ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, is centralized software that helps businesses streamline core functions like billing, payments, transactions, and accounting. By managing areas such as budget tracking, cash flow, purchasing, inventory, supply chain, and human resources, ERP provides real-time, consistent data. This single-source system enhances efficiency, supports decision-making, and reduces administrative burden across the organisation.
What is ERP Integration?
ERP integration is the process of connecting ERP software with other business applications, creating a single platform for capturing, tracking, and analysing real-time data. By mapping fields between ERP and external systems, ERP integration ensures that all software works seamlessly together, minimising manual data entry and reducing inconsistencies. This integration adds new features to ERP, such as accounts payable (AP) automation and CRM capabilities, allowing businesses to automate workflows and optimize processes.
How Can Businesses Integrate Processes & Workflows with ERP Systems?
Businesses integrate ERP systems by using add-on software connected via APIs, flat files, or an enterprise service bus (ESB). These tools map fields between systems, creating a unified user experience through ERP’s interface.
How Does AP Automation Software Improve ERP?
AP automation software enhances ERP integration by providing automated accounts payable features that ERP systems may lack. These features include supplier onboarding, invoice approval workflows, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for document & invoice matching.Integrating AP automation with ERP significantly reduces accounts payable processing time and costs by minimising manual data entry, errors, and fraud risk.
Which Types of Systems Integrate with ERP Software?
ERP systems can integrate with various types of software to expand their capabilities:
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management): Manages customer data, sales opportunities, and relationship tracking, enhancing visibility into customer behavior and sales funnels.
- eCommerce Platforms: Supports online sales, product display, and transaction processing, connecting inventory and sales data to ERP.
- AP Automation Software: Automates invoice workflows, payment processes, and reconciliation, reducing manual tasks in accounts payable.
- Project Management Software: Manages project timelines, resources, budgets, and communication, providing integrated project tracking.
- Business Intelligence (BI) Software: Imports and analyzes data to support decision-making with dashboards and visualization tools.
What are the Challenges & Risks of ERP Integration?
Challenges and risks of ERP integration include:
- Software and Vendor Selection: Choosing unsuitable software or vendors may lead to compatibility issues and poor ROI.
- Resource and Expertise Requirements: Integration requires skilled resources; without them, projects may face delays or failure.
- Security Risks: Integrating external applications may expose ERP systems to security risks without proper controls.
- Customer Support: Limited vendor support can complicate troubleshooting and maintenance, slowing integration.
- Cost Justification: Businesses need to ensure the integration’s benefits outweigh costs to justify the investment.
What are the 3 Methods of ERP Integration?
The three main ERP integration methods are:
- Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS): A cloud-based platform that connects ERP to SaaS applications, allowing for scalable and flexible integration.
- Enterprise Service Bus (ESB): On-premises middleware that uses connectors to enable communication between different applications by translating data formats.
- Point-to-Point Integration: Directly links two applications, ideal for simple connections but difficult to scale with multiple integrations.
