Having a good supporting system is quintessential to the success of eCommerce business. Having an ERP system is very important. For Startups and companies just venturing into eCommerce, having an enterprise level ERP system does not make economic sense (unless you are strapped on with VC money rocket). There are many open source ERPs (like Open ERP) which can be integrated to your Magento system.

Once you decide to have an ERP system in place, the next challenge is its Integration with your eCommerce system. Here you will find various ways, models and effort quotes from vendors ranging from $10K to $1 Ml+ (O yeah!) and timelines from months to years… now what would you do? At Connecting Dots we have devised a simple model of integration with any ERP system with your Magento eCom system where you can be up and running in just a few weeks time!

We have broken down the essential integration points to have a smooth system for your fledgling eCom operations. Conceptually, there are two kind of information that need to be managed, one coming into the ERP system from Magento (or your eCom system), and other into Magento from the ERP system. The system basically works on he following model:

- We can build a Magento-ERP bridge where the data is moved into and out of the ERP using CSV or XML files that are dropped on a common FTP directory which both parties can access.

- The XMLs generated from Magento to ERP are Customer Info and Order Info which are real time. An XML file will be pushed to the FTP directory whenever a new order or a customer is created. ERP server has to read this xml file, parse it and push the relevant info to the ERP database.

- The XMLs generated from ERP to Magento are Customer Info, Invoice, Credit Memo, Order Cancellation and Product Info. Magento server has to read the xml files, parse it and push the info to Magento database.

We can run this script daily once during midnight when there is less traffic to pull in this info, we will need info in xml/CSV format from the ERP System.
