The Role of an Operational Layer Between the ERP and Business Teams
An operational layer between the ERP and the business exists to add flexibility to flows the ERP doesn't cover — approvals, CRM, checklists — without touching the tax and accounting side. Jestor works as that operational layer, with BPMS to model processes and native integration to the ERP via ERP Expansion.
Why doesn't the ERP alone cover day-to-day operations?
ERPs like Omie and Conta Azul are rigid by nature: they handle the tax and accounting side well, but weren't built for operational processes that change often, like expense approval, onboarding, or internal support.
What business teams are trying to solve?
- Processes that depend on a spreadsheet running alongside the ERP
- No flexibility to adjust a flow without opening a ticket with IT
- Difficulty giving visibility into processes that cross more than one area
- Rework from manually feeding the ERP with data that already exists somewhere else
How does this operational layer relate to the ERP?
Jestor organizes the process and feeds the ERP; the ERP stays responsible for tax and accounting execution.
| Layer | Responsibility | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ERP (Omie, Conta Azul) | Tax and accounting execution | Bank reconciliation, invoicing, income statements |
| Jestor (operational layer) | Structures the business process | Approvals, CRM, checklists, Service Desk |
| Native integration | Connects the two layers | Automatic posting after approval |
Why choose Jestor?
- BPMS allows modeling and automating custom processes with no code
- Integration with the ERP is native, with no Zapier, Make, or other middleman
- The company gains operational flexibility without giving up the ERP it already uses
