Integration path review
A written choice of native connector, iPaaS, or custom code for each system, with the trade-offs explained.
The Problem
When Every Order Gets Typed Into the ERP Twice
ERP integration problems usually surface at month-end or during a stock count. The ERP holds one version of an order, the CRM holds another, and nobody knows which one to trust.
01 · Order entry
Deals closed in the CRM get retyped into the ERP.
Closed deals become ERP sales orders automatically, with customer and pricing checked first.
02 · BOM changes
Purchasing orders parts from an outdated bill of materials.
Released BOMs and engineering changes flow from PLM to the ERP on approval.
03 · AP invoices
Vendor invoices are keyed and matched to POs by hand.
Captured invoices post to the ERP as bills once the PO match is approved.
04 · Tracking
Tracking numbers stay in the shipping system, not the ERP.
Shipment events write tracking and freight cost back to the ERP order.
A sales rep closes a deal in the CRM at 4 p.m., and someone retypes it into the ERP the next morning. Engineering releases a BOM change, but purchasing still orders the old part. AP keys vendor invoices by hand and matches them to POs in a spreadsheet. The shipping system prints labels, yet tracking numbers don't reach the ERP, so customer service calls the warehouse. Each system works alone, and together they disagree.
We start with a free review of your ERP, the systems around it, and every field that moves between them. Each field gets one owner, written down before any code exists. Then we pick the lightest path: the ERP's native connector, an iPaaS recipe, or a custom sync on the ERP's own API with retries and alerts. Records move once, from the system that owns them, instead of being retyped by whoever remembers.
The right path per system
Native connector, iPaaS, or custom code, chosen for each system after the free review.
One owner per field
Items, prices, customers, stock, and invoices each sync from the system that owns them.
Failures you can see
A retry queue and alerts flag every failed record long before month-end finds it.
Our ERP Integration Services Process
From Free ERP Review to Live Sync in Five Steps
You see the field owner map and the integration path before we quote, then watch a parallel run on real records before anything switches over.
We review your ERP edition, its APIs, the systems around it, and how data moves today. You get a written recommendation for each system: native connector, iPaaS, or custom sync, with the reasons behind it.
What's Included
What Your ERP System Integration Includes
Every ERP software integration is scoped to your systems, but most projects combine these six parts, from the path choice to a runbook your admin can follow.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Native Connector vs In-House Developer
Native connectors suit standard flows, and an in-house developer knows your business best. Here's where each one holds up once several systems share a single ERP.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Native connector | In-house developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Field owner map first | Install and map defaults | Depends on spare time |
| Custom rules | Built to your process | Limited to its settings | Possible, but slower to ship |
| Systems covered | CRM, AP, PLM, shipping, and more | One app per connector | Whatever they have learned |
| Testing | Sandbox and parallel run | Vendor-tested defaults | Often tested in production |
| Failure handling | Retry queue and alerts | Basic error log | Varies by build |
| Availability | 30 to 90 days of support | Vendor help desk | On site every day |
| Ownership | Your code and accounts | Vendor subscription | Yours, if documented |
| Cost | Fixed price from $1,150 | Lowest upfront cost | Salary plus ramp-up time |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and business software for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Operations Teams Trust Us With Their ERP
An ERP integration touches orders, money, and stock at the same time. These habits keep your data trustworthy from the first sync to month-end close.
Native connector checked first
We test whether your ERP's own connector or an existing iPaaS recipe covers the flow before writing code. If it does, we'll tell you before we quote.
Field owners written down
Every synced field gets one owning system in a document you approve. Most ERP data fights we're asked to fix start with two systems editing the same field.
Sandbox before production
We build against a sandbox or test company and replay real records there first. Your live ERP sees the integration only after the parallel run passes.
Switch-over at period start
We time go-lives for the start of an accounting period or a quiet trading day. Your finance team closes the month on one set of numbers.
API limits respected
Syncs are paced and batched to stay inside your ERP's API limits. Busy days don't lock out your users or the other apps sharing that connection.
You own the integration
Code, credentials, and iPaaS accounts stay in your company's name. You can change providers or bring the work in-house without starting over.

Good fit
Manufacturers on a mid-market ERP
Your planners retype CRM sales orders into Business Central or Odoo every morning, so the shop floor builds from yesterday's numbers.
Distributors with AP invoice backlogs
Your AP team keys every vendor invoice into the ERP by hand, and you want approved bills posted automatically with their PO match.
Engineering teams releasing BOMs
Your engineers release a BOM change in the PLM, and purchasing hears about it days later and keeps ordering the old part.
Companies replacing a failed integrator
Your last ERP integrator left a custom sync nobody can read, and failed records vanish without an alert until a customer calls.
Agencies and ERP consultancies
Your consultancy configures Acumatica or Sage Intacct for clients and needs an engineering partner to build the integrations under your name.
Not a fit
Only Shopify to ERP
Your only need is Shopify talking to your ERP. Our Shopify ERP Integration page covers that pairing with store-specific order and pricing rules.
CRM-only project
Your project is mainly about the sales pipeline, with the ERP barely involved. Our CRM Integration Services page fits that scope better.
ERP not chosen yet
You haven't chosen an ERP and need help comparing vendors. Selection is a job for an ERP consultant, and we start once the ERP is picked.
Budget under $1,150
Your budget is under $1,150 and one app needs a simple one-way push. A Zapier or Make recipe may cover it, and we'll say so before we quote.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
ERP integration with DeveloperLook starts at $1,150 for one system connected through a native connector or iPaaS. Custom two-way syncs on your ERP's API start at $3,400, and a middleware hub for up to 4 systems starts at $7,200. ERP and iPaaS licenses are billed by those vendors, and our price is fixed after a free ERP review.
A connector setup takes 3 to 4 weeks, and custom syncs take 6 to 12 weeks. The build is rarely the slow part. Cleaning up item numbers, units of measure, and customer records so they match usually takes longer. The parallel run then adds 1 to 2 weeks.
ERP integration is connecting your ERP to the other systems your business runs, so data moves automatically instead of being retyped. Typical links carry sales orders from CRM or ecommerce, vendor bills from AP tools, BOMs from PLM, and tracking from shipping. Each link has a direction, a schedule, and one owner per field.
Native ERP integration is a connector built by the ERP vendor or the other app's vendor, such as the Shopify Connector inside Business Central. It installs fast and gets vendor updates, but covers standard flows only. When your process needs custom rules, an iPaaS recipe or a custom sync on the ERP's API fills the gap.
The ERP usually acts as the system of record for items, prices, inventory, and financials. Other systems read those values from it and send back orders, bills, and shipments. Naming the ERP as owner of those fields stops two apps from editing the same record.
Compare options on four things: the fields and directions you need, failure handling, code ownership, and total cost over several years. A native connector wins when it covers your flows. An ERP integration system on an iPaaS fits several standard links, and custom code fits rules neither can handle. Ask any ERP integrator to show you their error log.
Yes. Most CRM and ERP pairs connect through a native connector, an iPaaS, or their REST APIs. Closed deals become ERP sales orders, and the ERP sends back credit limits, invoices, and order status, so reps stop asking finance. Our CRM Integration Services page covers the CRM side of that work in more depth.
Integrating ecommerce and ERP stops overselling and retyping, because ERP stock and prices reach the store and web orders post back automatically. B2B stores also get customer price lists and payment terms from the ERP. For Shopify stores, our Shopify ERP Integration page covers that pairing, including order and refund rules.
The best ERP CRM integration platform depends on your ERP edition and how custom your quoting is. Business Central links to Dynamics 365 Sales through Microsoft's own Dataverse integration, and iPaaS tools cover common pairs. Manufacturers with configured products or complex price lists often need custom sync logic for quotes.
Yes, most enterprise shipping platforms connect to an ERP through a connector, an API, or a file exchange. Orders flow to the shipping system for rates and labels, and tracking numbers, freight costs, and ship dates flow back to the ERP order. We check the platform's connector first and build only the missing events, such as partial or multi-carton shipments.
