Integration Accelerator™: the bridge between your ERP and your target systems.

An integration platform of two building blocks: the API gateway for security and operations, and EazyERP, our growing connector library for the common mid-market ERPs. One export job on your side; we run the rest.

51.9%

of ERP budget overruns are down to unplanned additional technology.

The most common reason: additional third-party systems and growing integration scope. The interface is rarely the project, but often the cost driver.

Legacy systems make connections sluggish.

The problem

What does that mean concretely for your company?

If several of these points apply to you, you're losing time and money on interface projects.

Costs explode.

The "small interface" turns into extra tools, special logic and external hours. The budget is gone before the benefit arrives.

Project standstill from lack of capacity.

The interface partner has no time: tickets sit, weeks pass.

Documentation is missing, knowledge is in people's heads.

Without a spec and logs, every fix becomes detective work.

Ownership ping-pong.

ERP vendor, software vendor and middleware blame each other. Nobody owns the end-to-end result.

Your IT becomes the bottleneck.

Instead of innovation it does support: old interfaces tie up the capacity.

Go-live becomes a gamble.

In the end-to-end test everything surfaces, and the game starts over.

How we work

A predictable, stable ERP integration in four steps.

Technical site analysis
01

Technical site analysis

We go straight into your system landscape: data logic, master-data quality, integration paths. No endless kick-off rounds, no "tell us how you work": we know what we're looking for and only come to you with targeted questions. That keeps the effort on your side minimal.

Ergebnis: readiness check, data-quality score, integration roadmap

Data and logic definition
02

Data and logic definition

Now it gets binding: which fields are mandatory? What is the source of truth? How should inventory, supply capability and planning be steered later? Afterwards you know exactly what you get, which data is transferred how, and where you need to catch up.

Ergebnis: binding mapping, control logic and rules, an integration design ready for sign-off

Implementation and test phase
03

Implementation and test phase

We build the data flows, validate and test until they're robust. Not just "data arrives": the export values must match what the ERP interface shows. You get an integration that feels like a product, not a project that falls apart after go-live.

Ergebnis: stable interface, validated data flows, test protocol with sign-off

Go-live and Managed Operations
04

Go-live and Managed Operations

For us, go-live doesn't mean "good luck, call us when it burns". We watch the first weeks in real operation, fine-tune and train your key users on your real cases. After that a fixed point of contact with full ownership keeps the interface stable.

Ergebnis: go-live support, hypercare and fine-tuning, ongoing support

The difference

We go the extra mile.

Not every interface is equal. Usually it doesn't fail at the data pull, but at consistent execution.

Typical interface projects
  • Endless meetings just to work out where the needed data even sits in the ERP
  • Special cases aren't covered; everything has to run by the book
  • Every new export has to be checked by hand, with no info on changes or diagnostics
  • Only a fraction of the promised scope is actually delivered
Integration Accelerator™
  • We independently review the DB schema and docs and compare export values against the ERP interface
  • Comprehensive configuration: field prioritisation and fallbacks for data gaps
  • Precise reporting: what was exported, what's missing, where default values are set
  • Clear scope, comprehensive integration and proactive improvement of your workflows
Architecture

Quickly connected, securely operated.

The ready-made connector makes the connection fast; the API gateway makes it traceable: every transfer is authenticated and documented in the audit log.

On-premises

No cloud ERP? No problem.

A large part of the DACH mid-market runs its ERP in-house. We connect any on-prem ERP without opening it to the internet. How the node reaches your data locally depends on your system: here's what the path can look like.

Your ERP provides web services. The DMZ node is optional here: if you don't want to hang your ERP directly into the mesh, you put it in between. Standard with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Business Central.

We read directly from database views, without write rights in the ERP: the tunnel leads from the mesh straight to the database. Typical for SQL-based systems like SelectLine or Alphaplan.

For SAP ECC and R/3: your SAP system sends IDocs as XML to the outside; nobody accesses it from outside. Your Basis team only sets up the partner agreement; we process the standard IDocs and write results back the same way.

The simplest path: a local export job drops files and pushes them to us encrypted. No node, no mesh needed; works with practically any system.

From operations

For a pharma client we connect a legacy system with Microsoft Dynamics NAV this way: DMZ node without a public IP, WireGuard mesh, OAuth2 reverse proxy, released NAV endpoints and nothing else. IT didn't have to build any infrastructure of its own for it.

For a spare-parts wholesaler we connect Alphaplan this way, read-only over SQL: read-only, no write rights. Stock and movements flow into the target system every night.

For a series manufacturer we exchange IDocs as XML over SFTP this way: the SAP system pushes from the inside, nobody accesses the system from outside.

For a building-supplies trader we exchange CSV data over SFTP this way: a local export job, no node and no mesh needed.

In practice
“For our complex after-sales requirements we were looking for a solution to optimise working capital and spare-parts availability. Systempilot didn't just help us plan better, they integrated our business logic end-to-end.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the integration.

What sets the Integration Accelerator™ apart from a classic interface project?

Three things. First: ready-made ERP connectors instead of custom development, which removes the most expensive part of the project. Second: we take on the connection end-to-end, from the first data pull to the import into the target system, with one owner instead of three service providers. Third: we keep operating the path after go-live, including monitoring and alerting.

How much effort does it take on our side?

One export job on your side; we run the rest. In the site analysis we work independently with the DB schema and documentation; we only need your team for targeted questions, the approvals and the sign-off.

Our ERP runs on-premises and must not be open to the internet. Does it still work?

Yes, that's a standard case. Your system stays without a public IP: a node in your DMZ connects peer-to-peer over a WireGuard mesh to our gateway, where an OAuth2 reverse proxy secures the access, and the node reaches only the endpoints you release. That's how we connect a legacy NAV system at a pharma client, for example.

What does the integration cost?

For EazyStock clients the ready-made connectors are part of the project: a wizard connects systems like weclapp in a few minutes. We offer custom interface development on request; typical projects run between €5,000 and €15,000.

Do you also do EDI connections to business partners?

Yes. For some clients we operate standardised EDI paths, e.g. orders, order confirmations and stock enquiries as XML via SFTP directly into the ERP. They run on the same infrastructure as the ERP connections: same security, same monitoring, one point of contact.

Bring your IT lead into the conversation.

We answer architecture, security and effort questions directly, with the connector for your ERP on the table.
