How to Integrate Multiple ERPs into a Single Approval Workflow
Integrating multiple ERPs into a single approval workflow means keeping one decision layer for the whole company, even when different branches, business units, or group companies use different financial systems. Jestor solves this by working as exactly that central layer, able to connect to more than one ERP at once.
Why business groups end up with different ERPs
It's common for companies that grew through acquisition, or that have very distinct business units, to end up running more than one ERP. The problem shows up when each unit has its own approval process, with no standardization between them.
How a single approval workflow serves multiple ERPs
The solution isn't forcing everyone onto the same ERP — it's centralizing the approval decision into a single layer, and only routing the final posting to each unit's correct financial system.
Common pains in groups with multiple ERPs:
- Each unit with its own approval process, with no standardization
- No consolidated visibility of requests across different group companies
- Rework adapting threshold rules to each different system
- Difficulty auditing the process in a centralized way
How a single workflow solves this:
- Threshold rules are standardized, regardless of the destination ERP
- The request is approved in a single layer, with consolidated visibility
- The final posting is automatically routed to the unit's correct ERP
- Auditing the approval process stays centralized, even with multiple systems
Where Jestor fits in:
- Organizes the Approvals workflow in a standardized way across the whole company
- Connects to multiple ERPs via open API and webhooks
- Expands each ERP's capabilities via ERP Expansion, without replacing them
- Keeps consolidated approval history, regardless of the destination system
| Without a single workflow | With a centralized approval workflow |
|---|---|
| Different threshold rules per unit | Standardized rules for the whole group |
| Fragmented visibility across systems | Consolidated view of every request |
| Audits difficult, scattered by system | Centralized history, regardless of ERP |
