01 / The service
Integration, built around your business.
An integration should reduce duplicate work without making the source of each record unclear. We connect ERPNext with other applications by first agreeing what information moves, which system owns it and what should happen when a transfer fails.
The design starts with the business event: an order, a payment, a shipment update or another agreed transaction. We map identifiers, field values and update rules, then define how the receiving system should validate the result.
Errors are part of the scope. Repeated delivery, partial transfers and unavailable services need explicit handling so users can investigate a problem without creating another conflicting record. Access and credential ownership are reviewed alongside the data flow.
Before launch, we test realistic examples and agree how the integration will be monitored. The handover describes the interfaces, operating checks and responsibilities for investigating failures or changing a connected system.
02 / Scope
What’s included.
We agree the scope with you before work begins. These are the areas we can cover.
System and API review
Inspect the available APIs, authentication methods and vendor limits before selecting an integration approach.
Data mapping
Define identifiers, field transformations, units and ownership rules so both systems interpret the exchanged records consistently.
Event and schedule design
Agree whether data should move on an event, on a schedule or through a controlled manual action, based on the operation and API capabilities.
Validation and duplicate handling
Define how invalid values, repeated requests and out-of-order updates should be detected and handled.
Failure visibility and recovery
Scope logs, alerts and a recovery process that gives the responsible team enough information to investigate and retry safely.
Reconciliation and handover
Compare source and destination records in test scenarios. Document the interfaces, credentials responsibilities and operating checks.
03 / Our approach
Start with the problem. Agree the next step.
Where work gets difficult
Two systems can report different versions of the same order or payment when ownership and update rules are unclear. A successful API response alone does not prove that the business transaction is correct.
We define the source of truth, map each business event and validate the resulting records. Duplicate handling, retry behavior, operational visibility and reconciliation are agreed before the integration is accepted.
04 / Working together
A clear process, from first conversation to handover.
Map the transaction
Identify the business event, source records, receiving system and required updates.
Agree the interface
Review API access, field mapping, security and the expected behavior for errors and duplicate requests.
Build and reconcile
Test transfers using realistic records and compare the resulting business data in both systems.
Launch and monitor
Release the agreed flow, review early transfers and hand over the operating and recovery procedures.
05 / Benefits
What your team takes away.
An agreed data contract
A field map and ownership model that describes what each connected system sends, receives and maintains.
A tested transfer workflow
Acceptance scenarios covering the normal transaction, duplicate delivery and the agreed failure cases.
An operating guide
Monitoring and recovery instructions, with clear responsibilities when an application or API changes.
06 / A little clarity
Common questions.
Can you connect our existing application?
We first review its API or supported exchange methods, licensing and access requirements. Feasibility and scope depend on what the application allows.
Will every update happen in real time?
Not necessarily. The appropriate timing depends on API capabilities, rate limits and business needs. We agree which updates need immediate handling and which can be scheduled.
What happens if the other system is unavailable?
Retry, alerting and recovery behavior are part of the design. We agree how interrupted transfers are recorded and who is responsible for investigating them.
Can historical data be transferred too?
It can be scoped separately from the ongoing integration. Historical transfers need their own mapping, duplicate checks, reconciliation and cutover plan.
