System Integration
System integration connects the company's systems so that information can be shared automatically between them. Data is updated where needed without manual steps, allowing employees to work in one or a few systems instead of many different ones.
What is system integration?
Most companies use multiple systems in their operations, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), e-commerce, CRM, inventory/WMS, PIM, financial systems, or BI tools. When the systems are not connected to each other, information often needs to be moved manually between them. This easily leads to double entry, manual checks, and different versions of the same information.
System integration connects the systems so that they can automatically exchange data. When information is updated in one system, it is sent to other systems that need it. In this way, the systems can work together, while each team continues to use the tools that are central to their daily work.
When is system integration needed?
System integration becomes relevant when multiple systems in the organization need to share information with each other. This can involve, for example, a web shop sending orders to the business system, product information being synchronized between PIM, e-commerce, and ERP, or customer data being shared between CRM and other systems.
It is also common when inventory status needs to be updated between several systems or when reporting is based on data from different data sources. Without integration, information often needs to be moved manually between the systems. With system integration, data can instead flow automatically, making processes faster and more reliable.

How does system integration work?
Integrations are usually based on APIs – technical interfaces that allow systems to send and receive information. One example is an order in a web shop. When a customer places an order, the order information is automatically sent to the business system where it is registered and validated. After that, order status or delivery information can be sent back to the web shop. The systems communicate directly with each other and the process occurs automatically in the background.

One can imagine that each system speaks its own language. Without integration, someone needs to act as an interpreter and move information between the systems by copying, checking, and updating data in several steps. With system integration, the information is instead automatically forwarded between the systems in the correct order. Checks in the integration catch any errors and ensure that data ends up where it should. The result is faster processes and less manual work.
Hire a development team as a complete solution
Do you need more development power but want to avoid hiring or coordinating multiple consultants? With us, you can hire a complete development team as a long-term comprehensive solution.
You gain access to a cohesive team of developers, project management, and business development that works in a structured, proactive manner with full focus on your business. We are responsible for both planning, execution, and further development so that you have a team that drives development forward over time.
The setup is suitable for companies that want security, continuity, and flexibility without building up their own internal development department.
System integration streamlines operations.
When the systems are integrated, information no longer needs to be moved manually between different tools. Instead, work can be done in one or a few central systems, while the integrations ensure that the information is updated where it is needed. This reduces double entry, simplifies controls, and makes it clearer which information is current. At the same time, it reduces administration that would otherwise take time away from more value-creating work.
System integration reduces vulnerability
Manual processes always involve a risk of errors. It can be about someone forgetting to update a system, registering the wrong value, or working with an old version of the information. With system integration, data is automatically transferred according to clear rules. The information becomes traceable and the systems are kept updated without manual steps. This makes the processes more stable and reduces the dependence on manual routines in the business.
Frequently asked questions about system integration
A system integration connects two or more systems so that they can exchange information automatically. The purpose is to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and streamline processes.
Usually via APIs. The integration retrieves data from one system, checks/translates it if necessary, and sends it on to the next system. The flows are monitored so that you can see the status and manage deviations.
When data is moved automatically, the dependency on people to copy/paste and double-enter decreases. This reduces the risk of errors, missed updates, and reliance on individual work methods.
EntityFlow is an integration engine that enables the management and monitoring of complex data flows between different systems. It is designed to be scalable and flexible, making it ideal for companies that need to integrate many different systems and services.
EntityFlow centralizes all integration flows in a common platform. It manages data input, processing, and distribution to all connected systems, while providing full visibility into the data flow and automatically handling errors and exceptions.
The integration engine EntityFlow is preferred when you need to integrate multiple systems and want a scalable and centralized solution. It offers better monitoring, error handling, and update management. EntityFlow makes it easy to add more systems as you go, which saves both time and money and provides you with secure management of your data.
EntityFlow can reduce the total time to develop and implement integrations between different systems. This is because the core functionality is already built and we have base configurations for many systems. The result is a more efficient and smooth integration process.
Yes, EntityFlow is flexible and can integrate with various systems and platforms, including ERP systems like Business Central and CMS/Commerce/PIM platforms like Litium, making it a versatile solution for different business needs.
