What to Evaluate Before Integrating an Automation Tool with Your ERP

Before integrating an automation tool with the ERP, you need to evaluate technical compatibility, data security, the maintenance model, and which process will be automated first — to ensure the integration works in practice and doesn't generate more work than it solves.

Why Evaluating Before Integrating Matters

Poorly planned integrations create bigger problems than the ones they solve: duplicate data, incorrect postings, dependency on developers for every adjustment, and interruptions to the financial process.

Evaluating first means understanding what will be automated, how it will be done, and who will maintain it.

What to Evaluate in Each Dimension

Compatibility: does the ERP have an open API? Does it support webhooks? Is documentation available?
Security: does the tool use secure authentication (OAuth, JWT)? Does data travel with encryption?
Maintenance: who adjusts the integration when the ERP updates? Is it possible to do without code?
Process: which workflow will be automated? Approvals, accounts payable, accounts receivable?
Cost: is billing per user, per integration, or per transaction?
