Salesforce integration consulting in St. Louis.

The pattern matters more than the brand. Most ERPs used by manufacturers and distributors in the region expose APIs or support middleware, and our team has built ERP connections for both manufacturers and life-sciences companies. We choose between MuleSoft, other integration platforms and direct custom connections based on how many systems you run, your data volumes and who on your staff will maintain the connections.

For most distributors and manufacturers, the ERP owns pricing, credit terms and invoices, while Salesforce owns prospects, opportunities and sales activity. Customer accounts are the tricky case: they often start in Salesforce and become official once the ERP assigns an account number. We document the rule for each field during design so both systems stay consistent after launch.

A well-built integration fails visibly rather than silently. Errors are logged with the record and payload involved, retried automatically where that is safe, and routed to a named person when they are not. Totals for orders and accounts are reconciled between the two systems on a schedule, which exposes gaps early rather than when a rep spots a missing order. Monitoring dashboards show volume and failure trends, and documented runbooks let your IT staff resolve common errors without waiting on anyone.
