ERP integration and automation

DevsReady builds ERP integrations and ERP automations for banks, fintech companies and enterprises: it connects the ERP to core banking, payment, CRM and e-commerce systems through APIs, event-driven synchronization with Kafka, files or the database, and automates manual back-office processes and approval workflows, using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka and REST APIs.

Who ERP integration and automation is for

CTOs, heads of finance systems and operations leads at banks, fintech companies, enterprises and system integrators whose ERP has to exchange data with a core banking platform, payment providers, a CRM or an e-commerce store, and where people still copy data between screens or chase approvals by email.

Typical use cases

What DevsReady builds around an ERP:

  • ERP and payments reconciliation: Payment statuses and bank statements matched against invoices and postings in the ERP, so finance handles only the exceptions.
  • ERP connected to CRM and e-commerce: Customers, orders, products and invoices kept in step between the ERP and the systems that sell, through APIs and events.
  • ERP and core banking data: Postings, accounts and reference data exchanged between an ERP and banking systems through the interfaces each side already exposes.
  • Automated approval workflows: Purchase, payment and invoice approvals moved from email into a workflow with clear owners, rules and an audit trail.

ERP problems we solve

Most ERP pain sits at the edges, where the ERP meets the rest of the business.

  • Manual re-keying: Orders, invoices or payments typed again from one system into another, with errors and delays.
  • Records that drift apart: Customers, products or balances that no longer match across systems.
  • Late reconciliation: Bank statements and payments matched to ERP postings by hand, with exceptions found late.
  • Approvals outside any system: Purchase, payment and invoice approvals run by email and spreadsheets, without a record of who approved what.

Typical ERP integration architecture

An ERP integration stays maintainable when each system has its own adapter, business rules live in one integration layer and every change travels as an event.

ERP integration and automation layers

  1. Systems around the ERP

    • Core banking
    • Payment providers
    • CRM
    • E-commerce

  2. Adapters

    • REST and SOAP APIs
    • File imports and exports
    • Database access where allowed

  3. Integration and workflow services

    • Mapping and validation
    • Synchronization rules
    • Approval workflows

  4. Events and audit

    • Kafka
    • Transactional outbox
    • Activity log

  5. ERP

    • ERP interfaces
    • Master data
    • Postings and documents
A typical architecture. Your ERP, its interfaces and the systems around it are mapped during discovery.

Because each system sits behind its own adapter, an ERP upgrade or a replaced CRM touches one place, and the event log shows what moved, when and why.

How we connect to your ERP

DevsReady can integrate with any ERP that exposes an interface, for example SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo or a custom ERP. The method follows what the ERP and your IT rules allow:

  • APIs: REST or SOAP services the ERP provides, the preferred route when they cover the data you need.
  • Events: Changes published to Kafka or another message broker, so other systems react in near real time instead of polling.
  • Files: Scheduled CSV or XML imports and exports, tracked so no file is lost or loaded twice.
  • Database: Read access or change data capture on the ERP database, only where the vendor and your IT rules allow it.

How we keep ERP data in sync

  • Idempotent processing: Every message carries a key, so a retry never creates a second order, invoice or posting.
  • One owner per data set: Each record type has one system of record and the others receive its changes, so updates do not overwrite each other.
  • Reconciliation by design: Records keep the references of the other systems, so matching is automatic and people handle only true exceptions.
  • Audit trail: Every synchronization and every approval is logged, so finance and compliance can see what happened.

Automating back-office processes

Integration removes re-keying; automation removes the manual steps around it. DevsReady builds approval workflows with rules, roles, notifications and an activity log, and reports that read the integrated data instead of hand-built spreadsheets. On a corporate banking platform for one of the largest banks in Europe, the team built task and process management for bankers and direct debit automation for recurring payments, with a full audit trail.

How we de-risk an ERP integration

  • Discovery: The ERP, its interfaces, the data owners and the processes to automate mapped with you before any commitment.
  • Proof of concept: One integration flow end to end, free when you continue, in about one month from signed contract.
  • Integration outside the ERP: The integration logic runs in separate services, so ERP upgrades and configuration stay with your ERP team or partner.
  • Governance and security: Statements of work under a master services agreement, an NDA before details, and work inside your security rules and environments.

ERP integration technology stack

Java, Spring Boot and Quarkus for integration services; REST APIs; Kafka and ActiveMQ for events; Oracle Database and Oracle Golden Gate for data; Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift or AWS for deployment.

Proof and what we publish

This page describes ERP integration as a capability and an engineering approach. The closest published work is the corporate banking platform case study: back-office workflows and recurring payment automation, built with Kafka, REST APIs and Oracle Golden Gate.

Frequently asked questions

Which ERP automations can DevsReady build?

Automations of the manual steps around the ERP: purchase, payment and invoice approvals, order, invoice and master data synchronization, payment reconciliation against ERP postings, and reports built from the integrated data.

How does DevsReady connect to an ERP that has no modern API?

Through the interfaces it does offer: SOAP services, file exports and imports, a message queue or read access to its database where the vendor and your IT rules allow it, wrapped in an adapter so the rest of the integration uses one clean interface.

Should an ERP integration run in real time or in batches?

It depends on the data. Orders, payments and stock changes usually travel as events in near real time, while large reference data sets often move in scheduled batches, chosen per flow in discovery.

How do you keep ERP data from drifting out of sync?

Each data set has one system of record, every message is processed idempotently, and records keep the references of the other systems, so automatic reconciliation finds mismatches and people handle only the exceptions.

Questions buyers ask

Direct answers on how an engagement starts, what drives the cost, contracts and support. Prices are quoted per project after a discovery call.

How does an ERP integration project with DevsReady start?

With a discovery call about your ERP, the systems around it and the processes you want to automate, under an NDA if you need one. A free proof of concept then takes one integration flow end to end in about one month from signed contract.

What does an ERP integration cost?

Each project is quoted after a discovery call, because the cost depends on the number of systems and flows, the interfaces the ERP exposes, the data volumes, the engagement model and the duration. The proof of concept is free when you continue with DevsReady.

Can DevsReady work alongside our ERP team or ERP partner?

Yes. The integration services run outside the ERP, so your ERP team or partner keeps its configuration, and DevsReady builds against the interfaces you agree on.
