Do we have to replace our legacy ERP?

No. The published manufacturing engagement kept the legacy ERP and connected it with the WMS and procurement workflow through a translation layer.

Can a procurement spreadsheet be part of the integration?

Yes, when its fields and ownership are defined. The integration should turn it into a structured input or output instead of leaving it as a separate manual reconciliation process.

How do systems with different update schedules stay in sync?

An event-driven workflow and message queue can buffer and route changes between systems without assuming that every connection updates at the same speed.

What happens when inventory counts disagree?

The reconciliation layer compares data across systems, automatically resolves minor discrepancies, and sends significant differences to a person for review.

What does the audit cost?

Nothing. It is a 30 minute call. Map one inventory update across the ERP, WMS, and procurement process and we will tell you where an integration layer would help.

Workflows we automate

Integrate manufacturing inventory systems without replacing the legacy ERP

Inventory does not need another place to be entered. It needs one change to reach every system that depends on it. We build the integration layer between the legacy ERP, warehouse workflow, and procurement process so people reconcile exceptions instead of entire datasets.

Keep the systems. Connect the inventory.

The integration layer translates updates between the ERP, warehouse system, and procurement workflow.

One shared inventory state

Request your audit

Thirty minutes. No fee, no obligation.

Warehouse staff update the WMS, then send the same information to procurement.
Procurement maintains a spreadsheet because the ERP does not reflect the current count.
Discrepancies surface days later, after a purchasing or stocking decision has already been made.
Replacing the legacy ERP would cost more and disrupt more than connecting it.

Why it breaks.

Manual reconciliation becomes the system of record

When three systems disagree, the spreadsheet maintained between them becomes the only place that explains the differences. The business starts depending on a person to keep its inventory state coherent.

Replacement is not the only integration strategy

A legacy ERP can remain the operational backbone while an integration layer translates its data for the WMS and procurement workflow. Modernization does not have to begin with a disruptive rip-and-replace project.

What we build.

Inside your own Microsoft environment, on licenses you already pay for. You keep every line of code.

Legacy ERP and WMS bridge

Custom middleware translates the ERP's existing format and the warehouse system's API into a shared inventory model.

Azure Functions

Event-driven triggers process inventory changes without requiring either operational system to be replaced.

Message queue

Updates move between systems that run on different schedules, so one slow connection does not stop the rest of the workflow.

AI reconciliation

A reconciliation model continuously compares the systems, automatically resolving minor discrepancies and flagging significant ones for human review.

What it was worth to a regional manufacturer.

We connected a manufacturer's legacy ERP, warehouse management system, and procurement workflow through an Azure Functions integration layer instead of replacing the existing systems.

Results from a specific client engagement. Your workflows, systems, and results will differ.

When not to automate this.

Talking a company out of automation it does not need is cheaper for everyone than selling it.

One system already owns every inventory change and the others can be retired. Consolidation may be simpler than an integration layer.
Product identifiers and units do not match across systems. Define the shared inventory model before automating synchronization.
The legacy system has no stable export, API, or event source. Establish a reliable connection before promising real-time updates.

Engagements start at $7,500 a month. If that is outside your range, this call would waste your time, and we would rather say so here. See what each tier includes.
