ERP Integration and Automation Services in Chicago
ERP integration connects the ERP your business already runs (Epicor P21, SAP, NetSuite, Sage, Dynamics) to the CRM, warehouse, ecommerce and phone systems around it, so data is entered once and flows everywhere it is needed. We are a Chicago-based team doing this for manufacturers and distributors across Chicagoland and nationwide. The result is less rekeying, fewer errors, and an ERP that stops being the bottleneck.
Shopping for ERP Software? Check This First
A lot of Chicago companies searching for new ERP software don’t actually have an ERP problem. They have a connection problem: the ERP works, but nothing talks to it, so people rekey orders, invoices and customers between systems all day. A mid-market ERP replacement runs $100K to $1M+ and 12 to 24 months; connecting what you already have typically costs 5 to 10% of that.
We don’t sell ERP licenses, so we have no reason to push a replacement. If yours genuinely needs replacing, the audit will say so. Read should you replace your ERP or integrate around it for how to tell which problem you have.
What We Connect
- ERP to CRM: customers, orders, AR, availability and pricing in Salesforce or HubSpot; won deals back into the ERP. One distributor saved 25+ hours a week.
- ERP to warehouse: scanner apps and WMS updating the ERP as receiving, picking and counts happen.
- ERP to ecommerce: storefront orders into the ERP, inventory and pricing back out. One distributor hit 60% faster fulfillment.
- ERP to phones: screen-pops with account and order details, automatic call logging.
- Documents into the ERP: AI that turns emailed invoices and purchase orders into vouchers and sales orders.
- ERP to reporting: Power BI dashboards wired live to the ERP database.
We work with Epicor P21 (see our Prophet 21 services), SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Infor, Sage and Microsoft Dynamics, and legacy systems that have no API at all.
ERP Work for Chicagoland Manufacturers
For a local industrial heater manufacturer, we replaced engineering spreadsheets with a web configurator whose manufacturing routings export straight to the ERP, ending double entry between sales and production. Quotes went from 30 to 45 minutes to 3 to 5. For another local manufacturer we monitor 45+ servers, including dedicated views for the ERP environment, database performance and integration health.
Beyond Chicagoland, our ERP integration results include Epicor P21 to Salesforce (92% fewer data errors, 4-month payback) and six systems connected for a $52M manufacturer (40% less admin time, books closed 5 days faster).
Cost and Timeline
Integration projects typically range from $5,000 to $50,000+. A simple two-system integration takes 2 to 4 weeks; AI workflow automations take 4 to 8 weeks; complex multi-system projects take 2 to 4 months, delivered in phases so you see results early. Every project gets a fixed quote before work begins. The ERP integration cost guide explains what moves the number.
