ERP Integrations: Access & Report on All Your ERP Data. Any Time, in Any Format You Choose.

ERP integration is the connection between an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system and other applications like analytics dashboards or data sources. This connection facilitates real-time data exchange, more efficient workflows, and consolidated reporting across departments like finance, supply chain, HR, and more. ERP integrations like the ones provided by insightsoftware enable immediate visibility and decision-making without requiring manual data dumps.

ERP connectors like ODBC/JDBC drivers enable direct database-level access for high-performance, real-time, and bi-directional data exchange without middleware. On the other hand, API integrations exchange data through web services, which can result in latency and development overhead.

No. insightsoftware allows you to avoid the upfront investment in a data warehouse by using live connectors (via tools like Spreadsheet Server or Jet Reports) to feed ERP data directly into Excel or your BI tools (such as Power BI or Tableau). This architecture enables real-time reporting that avoids staging or ETL layers to slow you down. As a result, deployment and ROI are both accelerated while data latency and duplication are eliminated.

Our data analysis experts typically recommend using pre-built, live data connectors like ODBC or JDBC that have security and compliance built in (rather than being an add-on). Our Simba platform was designed to embody this, with plug-and-play connectivity to the huge range of ERPs and cloud systems shown above. It also includes enterprise-grade authentication and encryption so you never have to worry about data governance. Lastly, Simba has an SDK for custom connectors so that enterprise users can quickly integrate with an even wider range of ERP and EPM systems.

Supply chain and procurement departments need reliable, low-code connectors that support real-time EDI, catalog syncing, PO automation, and supplier data management. This is a lot to handle in a single platform, but insightsoftware connectors help automate supplier interactions so that your data flows seamlessly across platforms (via custom dashboards or familiar Excel). Our connectors provide best-in-class governance, logging, and audit trails, while simultaneously eliminating friction points that often surface with supplier systems integrations.

For organizations that have complex SAP workflows with multi-leg consolidations, intercompany, and multi-currency flows, we recommend using a layered approach. Start by using RPA tools to reduce manual data processing. Then, use Simba connectors to extract the granular SAP data into your business intelligence or reporting system. From there, our mapping and metadata tools (like Wands for SAP or Angles for SAP) help establish consistency across your hierarchies, currencies, and entities. This is a tried and true process that works for even the most intricate SAP workflows.

Our platforms are compatible with more than 140 different ERP and EPM systems, including major players like SAP (S/4HANA and ECC), Oracle (EBS and NetSuite), Microsoft Dynamics (AX, GP, and 365), Infor, Epicor, Sage, JD Edwards, and more. Our universal connectors work across both on-premise and cloud ERPs so you can scale integrations using our single, unified toolkit.

Yes. Simba’s drivers can deliver data directly into Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Qlik, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and many more. Our optimized connectors enable live queries from these BI tools, which eliminates ETL bottlenecks and improves real-time reporting dashboards by providing universal SQL access across data sources.

Our library of pre-built connectors includes Simba ODBC/JDBC drivers (ERP Big Data, NoSQL, etc.), ERP-specific live connectors (Deltek, JD Edwards, Sage, etc.), and a Workday connector (HR and payroll data). On top of this, our SDK toolkit allows organizations to build custom connectors if needed, expanding our integrations to near limitless possibilities.

We’ve built security, governance, and compliance into every platform from the start, instead of it being an afterthought like other software. Simba drivers support enterprise-grade TLS/SSL for strong encryption and authentication. Our FIPS compliance further ensures adherence to federal standards, while governance and audit trails are always available for unparalleled transparency. Lastly, our vendor certifications comply with both ISO 27001 and SSAE-18 SOC 2.
