ERP Integration Services for Boston-Area Businesses

What is ERP integration?

ERP integration means getting your accounting, CRM, inventory and custom applications to exchange data on their own, instead of through spreadsheets and retyping.

When systems are disconnected, the same customer or order lives in three places and nobody is sure which copy is right. Integration gives each record one path between systems, so the numbers match and month-end takes less effort.

We connect ERP, CRM and custom applications so your systems talk to each other and your managers get a clearer view of operations.

Which systems can you connect?

We integrate the accounting and business systems most small and mid-sized companies actually run.

• QuickBooks Desktop, Online and Enterprise Solutions
• Sage
• Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)
• CRM platforms
• Fishbowl Inventory and web shopping carts
• IBM i and AS/400 applications
• Custom Access and SQL databases, bank files and EDI files

QuickBooks is the most common piece we connect. Our QuickBooks integration developer page covers that work in more detail.

How do you map fields between two systems?

We define which records move, in which direction, and how each field in one system lines up with a field in the other.

Our GBS-X bridge supports QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Sage, Dynamics and others via mapping. It offers automated sync of selected customers, invoices and payables, with configurable field mapping and audit-safe logs.

Good logging matters. When a record fails, you want to know which one and why, so it can be fixed and resent without redoing the whole batch.

Can an IBM i or legacy system share data with modern accounting software?

Yes. We update, migrate and integrate IBM i and AS/400 environments without disrupting the business.

For a freight transportation company running a custom IBM system that had worked for decades, trucking deliveries were received electronically and imported into QuickBooks using our utilities, in the EDI format the company had used for years. For a claims adjuster, we read insurance adjustments from the carrier’s mainframe and created them as bills automatically.

If your core system is on IBM i, see our IBM i modernization services. We also integrate older Niakwa and Wang-based applications with modern ERP, CRM and analytics platforms.

Should we integrate our ERP or replace it?

Sometimes connecting systems is the right answer, and sometimes moving to a different accounting system is simpler.

More than one of our customers moved from Microsoft Great Plains to QuickBooks because it cost less to own, had lower annual service plan costs and was easier to train new employees on. We rewrote or replaced the custom programs they depended on so they worked with QuickBooks.

If you are weighing a switch, read about our accounting software implementation process. We will help you compare both paths before anything is built.

How does an ERP integration project start?

It starts with a conversation about where your staff is typing the same data twice.

• We list your systems and how data moves between them today
• We agree on which records sync, in which direction and how often
• We build the mapping and test it on your real data
• We go live with logging in place and stay available for support
