Manufacturing Company: Legacy System Integration Eliminates Manual Transfer

Challenge

A manufacturing company manually exported data from their ERP system to Excel daily, reformatted it, and imported it into their warehouse management system. This 2-hour daily process was error-prone, delayed inventory updates, and required manual validation. Data discrepancies between systems required frequent corrections. They had tried hiring additional staff to handle the transfers but errors persisted and costs increased.

Solution

We built an automated integration solution that extracts data from the ERP system, transforms it to match warehouse system requirements, validates data integrity, and imports it automatically on a schedule. The solution includes error handling, logging, and notification mechanisms. Data validation ensures accuracy before import, and automatic retry handles temporary connection issues.

Results

• Eliminated 10 hours of manual work per week
• Zero data entry errors in 6 months
• Real-time inventory updates instead of daily batches
• Data synchronization between systems automated
