How to Automate the Integration Between Finance and Operations

Automating the integration between finance and operations means connecting day to day processes (approvals, purchasing, sales) directly to the ERP, without requiring anyone to enter the same data twice.

In practice, it's common for operations and finance to work in separate systems: operations approves a purchase in a spreadsheet or by email, and someone in finance has to manually enter that information into the ERP hours or days later.

That gap creates delays, typing errors, and a lack of real time visibility into what has already been approved but hasn't yet reached the financial system. The bigger the operation, the more expensive this bottleneck becomes, and that's where Jestor comes in as a connecting layer.

Common pain points

  • Operational approvals that take a long time to become financial entries
  • Duplicate data entry across spreadsheets, email, and the ERP
  • Lack of visibility into the financial status of an approval that's already been completed
  • Difficulty applying value and cost center thresholds consistently
  • Human errors when transcribing data from one system to another
  • Multiple ERP accounts (holdings, branches) without central orchestration

How it works in practice

  • Approving a request, with a defined threshold, automatically triggers the entry into the ERP
  • A sale marked as won in the CRM automatically generates accounts receivable
  • Vendors and cost centers not yet registered can be created automatically in the process
  • The status of each entry is visible to both operations and finance on the same dashboard
  • Execution logs show exactly when each integration was triggered
  • Multiple ERP accounts are orchestrated from a single approval workflow

Why Jestor

  • Native integration with Omie and Conta Azul, no Zapier, Make, or other intermediary
  • Accounts payable approval automatically generates an ERP entry, with thresholds by value and cost center
  • A sale won in the CRM automatically becomes accounts receivable in Conta Azul
  • Billing by users, not by the number of connected ERP accounts

Jestor handles the operational side of this integration: it structures the approval, applies the correct threshold, and sends the ready to post data to the ERP, which remains responsible for tax and accounting execution.

  • Support for multiple Omie accounts (holdings, franchises, headquarters, and branches) at no extra cost
  • A missing vendor or cost center in Conta Azul is created automatically by the workflow
  • Open API and webhooks to connect other financial systems beyond the native ERPs

Do you need to code this integration? No, the connection with Omie and Conta Azul is native and configurable without code.
