ERP Integration Delivered in Your Region

The requirements differ noticeably: in Hannover we meet grown ERP landscapes with several upstream systems, in Wolfsburg and Braunschweig EDI-driven supply chains, in Göttingen technical assortments with high documentation demands, in Salzgitter production and plant stock. Technically we work with the same building blocks everywhere — SAP integration, Dynamics 365 shop integration, DATEV integration, inventory system integration and middleware — but the order and priority follow from your region and industry. All setup prices start at 1,490 € net per connection and are fixed bindingly after a free system analysis.

Hannover is the economic centre of Lower Saxony and correspondingly heterogeneous: wholesalers with six-figure article masters, service providers with subscription and contract models, and manufacturers with their own production. Typically several upstream systems have grown historically — one ERP, separate accounting, a warehouse management system and a shop that used to be fed via CSV. We usually solve this with an intermediate layer so that not every system has to talk to every other. The shop integration Hannover page describes the approach in detail. The benefit of an intermediate layer is particularly clear here: every system keeps its own role, and a system change in the background — replacing the warehouse management system, for example — affects only one connector instead of four direct connections. For grown landscapes that is the difference between predictable expansion and a project that gets more expensive with every addition.

Hildesheim is our immediate neighbourhood. Here we mostly work with owner-run businesses that have no in-house IT team and therefore value understandable documentation and fixed contacts. Projects often start not with a grand design but with a single connection — for example DATEV integration for document export or inventory system integration for articles and stock. Expansion then happens in stages. More on the shop integration Hildesheim page. The advantage of this approach is cost control: every expansion stage has its own fixed price and a visible benefit, instead of releasing a large budget for a result that only becomes visible months later. Companies without their own IT department keep the decision about when the next step happens.

Braunschweig is strongly shaped by research, industry and technical trade. Anyone supplying larger companies rarely receives orders through a web form but via EDI messages or procurement portals. These channels have to feed into the same order processes as shop orders, otherwise two separate worlds emerge inside the ERP. How we bring EDI and shop together is described on the shop integration Braunschweig page. For operations, bringing the channels together mainly means less duplicated work: an EDI order and a shop order arrive in the ERP as the same order type, are picked the same way and invoiced the same way. Inside sales no longer has to know which channel an order came from in order to process it correctly.

Wolfsburg is automotive-driven. Suppliers and service providers work with tight cycle times and clear expectations regarding feedback: order confirmation, dispatch advice and invoice data have to flow reliably and traceably. For the shop this mainly means dependable stock levels and clean status messages from the ERP. The regional specifics are summarised on the shop integration Wolfsburg page. In practice this means status information does not only flow from the shop into the ERP but also back. When a customer can see in the shop that their order has been picked and dispatch has been notified, the follow-up phone call is no longer needed — and it is precisely those calls that consume the time missing from actual order processing.

Göttingen brings a production-oriented mid-market with products that need explanation: measurement technology, laboratory supplies, precision engineering. Such assortments live on technical attributes, data sheets and variants that are maintained in the ERP or PIM and have to arrive complete in the shop. API development often comes into play because standard connectors cannot map the attribute depth. More under shop integration Göttingen. The commercial effect lies in pre-qualification: when technical attributes are filterable in the shop, customers find the right product themselves and only call when there is a genuine application question. For products that need explaining, this shifts effort away from answering simple questions towards real consulting.

Salzgitter is shaped by production, steel and technical trade. Stock is held not only in the warehouse but also in manufacturing, and lead times depend on production plans. The shop therefore has to show more than a single number: availability, a realistic delivery date and, where applicable, a note about drop shipping. How we map this is described on the shop integration Salzgitter page. The benefit is a delivery commitment you can rely on. If the shop knows not just a warehouse stock figure but also planned receipts from production, it can name a realistic date instead of a blanket 'on request'. In technical trade, that is often what decides whether an enquiry turns into an order.

In practice both working modes mix. Process mapping is best done on site because everyone involved is available at the same time and special cases can be demonstrated directly in the system. Development, testing and coordination then run remotely — with video meetings, written status reports and secure access to the approved systems. For go-live and larger expansion stages we come back on request. Outside the named regions we work entirely remotely; technically this makes no difference, organisationally we plan a little more time for coordination.

The same technical principles apply regardless of location. Which architecture fits your starting point is described in REST API or Middleware; how often and in which form to synchronize is covered by Webhooks vs. Polling; and what happens to open records during a system outage is explained in Error Handling in Interfaces.

Region and industry are closely linked. For wholesale, tiered prices and customer conditions dominate; for manufacturing, bills of materials, variants and spare parts. Specialised trade needs branch stock and well-maintained assortments, food and beverage additionally batches, best-before dates and declaration data. In fashion and textiles, size-colour matrices and returns dominate, in electronics and technology technical attributes and documentation duties. An overview of all industries is available on the industries page.
