DATEV integration from 1,490 €, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central from 6,900 €, SAP Business One from 9,900 €, marketplace connection from 2,480 € per channel. Custom extensions at 990 € net per project day (hourly rate 119 €). The binding fixed price is set after a free system analysis. Connector and tool licences are itemised separately. All prices net, plus VAT. The project day is a package price for a reserved working day and therefore deliberately not a multiple of the hourly rate — the rationale is on the pricing overview.
The Göttingen economic region brings together two worlds: the international research landscape centred on the Georg August University and the University Medical Centre, and a production-oriented mid-market rooted in the region. Medical device manufacturers, laboratory supply distributors, biotech start-ups and science service providers need ERP interfaces that go beyond the standard – batch traceability, regulated procurement channels and multilingual product catalogs for international research partners. We develop integration solutions that address precisely these requirements and integrate seamlessly into your existing system landscape.
Project Flow of a Shop-ERP Integration in Göttingen
Göttingen as a Research and Medical Hub: Integration Needs at a Glance
Georg August University, the University Medical Centre and non-university research institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry shape the region's procurement patterns in lasting ways. Laboratory supplies, consumables, instrument components and specialty chemicals are ordered in volumes and specifications that standard shop systems cannot handle without ERP connectivity. Research institutions also require thorough documentation: which lot of a reagent was ordered when? Which batch is allocated to which project? These requirements cannot be met without an end-to-end data flow chain linking shop, ERP and warehouse management.
Alongside the research infrastructure, Göttingen hosts a production-oriented mid-market: engineering companies in the Grone industrial estate, plastics processors and precision manufacturers that increasingly distribute spare parts and accessories through online channels. For these companies, API-driven ERP integration is the decisive step toward making lead times digitally visible, automating order processes and supplying dealers via a B2B portal with current price lists.

Industry-Specific Integration Challenges in Göttingen
The distinctive feature of the Göttingen market is the overlap of two requirement worlds: the science and medical technology sector demands regulated processes, while the mid-market production and distribution sector calls for pragmatic efficiency and short throughput times. Both worlds share a common pain point: without reliable ERP connectivity, isolated solutions emerge that are expensive to maintain and error-prone in operation.
Batch Obligation and Traceability
Medical devices, reagents and laboratory chemicals are subject to strict documentation requirements. We implement end-to-end batch traceability from ERP to shop and back: every order is linked to a defined batch, every lot is documented, every recall can be executed within seconds.
Research B2B Portal with Approval Workflows
University procurement offices, research groups and institutional buyers work with multi-level approval processes and budget limits. We build B2B portals that reflect these structures: individual cost centre assignment, per-user order limits and automated approval routing from the ERP.
Real-Time Inventory Synchronization
For scientific consumables, delivery commitments are critical. When a research group needs a reagent, overselling can jeopardize experiments. We implement event-based inventory management where every warehouse movement in the ERP becomes visible in the shop within seconds.
Replacing Manual Data Transfer
Many Göttingen businesses already operate online shops but still transfer orders manually into the ERP. We replace this media break with a fully automated real-time interface – including automatic debtor creation, invoice generation and shipping notification.

Why Local Proximity Matters for Integration Projects
System integration requires deep understanding of the business processes behind the data flows. Why does a research procurement order pass through three approval stages? Why does the ERP have two different product masters for the same item at different purity grades? Why must the delivery note appear in the system before the invoice when a batch has not yet been released? These questions can be resolved in an on-site workshop within an hour, while they take weeks to sort out via email exchanges.
Our office is in Söhlde in the Hildesheim district, approximately 70 minutes by car from Göttingen. For initial workshops, sprint reviews and go-live support, we are regularly present with our clients in Göttingen, the Göttingen district and the broader South Lower Saxony region. This willingness to engage in person not only accelerates requirements capture but builds the dependable collaboration that is indispensable for complex integration projects in regulated environments. If an unexpected issue arises after go-live, we drive to you – rather than putting you off with a ticket system.

Our Integration Approach: Middleware as a Stable Foundation
We build shop integrations on a middleware architecture that operates as an independent layer between shop and ERP. Rather than wiring the shop directly to the ERP, all data flows pass through a controlled intermediary that handles transformations, validations and error management. For Göttingen businesses in regulated sectors, this means every data transfer is logged, auditable and traceable – without touching the ERP core structure.
The middleware logs every data transfer with timestamp, status and payload. When a sync fails, you can trace exactly what data was transferred at what time in what form. Automatic retry mechanisms catch temporary network issues or ERP outages without losing orders: orders received during an ERP outage are buffered and transferred in correct sequence once the connection is restored. Configurable alerting proactively notifies your IT department as soon as synchronization cycles are delayed or error rates exceed a defined threshold.
Project Flow: From Analysis to Live Operations
On-Site System Landscape Analysis in Göttingen
We inventory your IT systems, document existing data flows and identify media breaks. Interviews with specialist departments – purchasing, sales, warehouse, quality assurance and accounting – provide the process knowledge that no technical document can replace. For regulated sectors, we take the time to fully understand the compliance requirements before a single line of integration code is written.
Integration Concept and Data Modelling
Based on the analysis, we develop an integration concept defining data flows, transformation rules, synchronization intervals and error handling. For Göttingen businesses with regulatory obligations, the concept includes an additional documentation layer for audit trails and batch certificates.
Development and Iterative Validation
Middleware development proceeds in two-week sprints. After each sprint, you test the new data flows against your ERP test system. For batch-managed products, we simulate recall scenarios and quarantine processes to verify that the integration responds correctly even in exceptional situations.
Go-Live Support and Monitoring Setup
On go-live day, we are personally on-site in Göttingen. We monitor the first synchronization cycles, resolve any startup issues and set up long-term monitoring. The monitoring dashboard gives you and your IT team a complete overview of interface status at any time.

Data Quality and Compliance: A Critical Foundation for Göttingen Industries
The technical connection between shop and ERP is only half the battle. The other half is data quality. When product master data in the ERP is incomplete, missing required fields or using inconsistent units, the integration fails not because of technology but because of data. For Göttingen businesses in the medical and research environment, additional requirements apply: classifications under hazardous goods regulations, CE marking information and GS1-compliant GTIN numbers must be complete and current before an interface can go live. In our experience (project experience), grown ERP installations are missing critical data fields for roughly one third of all articles that are mandatory for online sales.
That is why every integration project starts with a data quality analysis: how complete is the product master data? Are there duplicate customer numbers? Do quantity units match between ERP and shop? Are all tax-relevant data fields correctly maintained? Based on this analysis, we create a cleanup plan and support your team through the data migration. This step costs time but saves considerably more time during the actual integration and prevents costly corrections in live operation.
For businesses in Göttingen, we offer personal on-site consulting alongside technical integration: requirements workshops, system analyses and training for your team. The combination of regional accessibility and deep integration expertise makes us a reliable partner for Göttingen companies looking to connect their systems seamlessly – whether in a regulated science environment or in a classic mid-market setting.
