The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why TIMS & BNG Silos Hinder Growth

Operating TIMS and BNG as disconnected systems creates significant operational friction, leading to manual data entry, delayed information flow, and a lack of real-time visibility that stifles efficiency and decision-making.

  • Manual data entry between TIMS (ERP/Accounting) and BNG (Operational) is slow, error-prone, and resource-intensive.
  • Delayed synchronization of critical data like inventory, orders, and customer profiles leads to overselling, inaccurate financials, and poor customer experience.
  • Lack of a unified view across sales, finance, and operations prevents strategic decision-making and agile response to market changes.
  • Inconsistent data quality across systems results in reconciliation nightmares and compliance risks.
  • Custom point-to-point integrations are brittle, costly to maintain, and cannot scale with business growth.

TIMS & BNG Integration: Technical Details & Flow

Our integration solution leverages a modern iPaaS to orchestrate data exchange between TIMS and BNG. It focuses on API-first, event-driven communication for real-time synchronization, supported by robust data transformation, error handling, and security measures.

Data Flow Steps

Connect TIMS & BNG: Establish secure connections to both TIMS and BNG using native iPaaS connectors, configured with appropriate authentication (OAuth 2.0, API Keys).

Define Workflows & Triggers: Visually design integration flows (e.g., 'New BNG Order to TIMS Sales Order'). Configure event triggers (webhooks from BNG/eCommerce) or scheduled polling for TIMS for changes.

Map & Transform Data: Use the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to define how data fields from BNG map to TIMS, and vice-versa. Apply transformations, cleansing rules, and AI-assisted data harmonization.

Implement Business Logic: Embed conditional logic, lookups, and custom business rules using the low-code editor (e.g., routing orders, applying tax codes).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Configure automated retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts for any integration failures or data anomalies.

Deploy & Govern: Promote validated integration flows from Dev/QA to Production, with version control, auditing, and centralized monitoring dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

Customer (BNG ↔ TIMS)
Product/Item (BNG ↔ TIMS)
Sales Order (BNG → TIMS)
Invoice (TIMS → BNG)
Payment (Payment Gateway → TIMS ↔ BNG)
Inventory Item/Stock (TIMS ↔ BNG)
Vendor (BNG ↔ TIMS)
Purchase Order (BNG → TIMS)
General Ledger Entry (BNG → TIMS)

"An event-driven architecture forms the core. A change in System A (BNG, e.g., new order) triggers a webhook. This event is captured by the iPaaS, which extracts data, performs AI-augmented validation and transformation, and then pushes the harmonized data to System B (TIMS, e.g., create sales order) via its API. TIMS's response is processed, and status updates may flow back to BNG. For high-volume or less time-sensitive data, optimized batch processing is utilized."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between TIMS and BNG

The integration focuses on harmonizing core business entities, ensuring accurate and consistent data across TIMS and BNG. Our iPaaS provides intelligent mapping capabilities, simplifying complex data transformations and validations.

Customer

Represents a business or individual that purchases goods or services. Central to sales, billing, and marketing processes within TIMS and CRM/sales functions in BNG.

BNG Fields

CustomerID ExternalID (from CRM/eCommerce) CompanyName/FirstName LastName Email Phone BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms CreditLimit

TIMS Fields

CustomerID (BNG internal ID) ExternalID (e.g., CRM ID) CompanyName FirstName LastName Email BillingAddress ShippingAddress Phone Status CreditLimit TaxExemptStatus

Mapping Notes

Requires robust external ID management for bidirectional sync. AI can assist in fuzzy matching for deduplication based on name, email, and address. CreditLimit is often managed in TIMS and synced to BNG.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General FAQs

▸ What is the primary benefit of integrating TIMS and BNG?
The primary benefit is achieving real-time data synchronization and workflow automation across your core ERP (TIMS) and operational systems (BNG). This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, accelerates processes like order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, and provides a unified view of your business for better decision-making.

Technology FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate TIMS-BNG integration?
A modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) provides pre-built connectors for both TIMS and BNG, a low-code/no-code visual designer for building workflows, an AI-augmented mapping engine for data transformation, robust error handling, and centralized monitoring. It acts as the intelligent orchestration layer, simplifying complex integrations and ensuring scalability.

Workflows FAQs

▸ Can this integration handle real-time inventory updates between TIMS and BNG?
Yes, absolutely. Leveraging an event-driven architecture, the iPaaS can capture inventory changes in TIMS (e.g., via webhooks or efficient polling) and immediately push those updates to BNG, and from BNG to connected sales channels. This ensures real-time inventory accuracy and prevents overselling.

AI FAQs

▸ What kind of AI capabilities are integrated into the TIMS-BNG solution?
AI augments the integration in several ways: intelligent field mapping suggestions, automated data validation and cleansing, anomaly detection for financial transactions or unusual order patterns, predictive insights for inventory or cash flow, and smart error resolution suggestions. This reduces manual intervention and improves data quality.

Customization FAQs

▸ How are custom fields and business logic handled in the integration?
The iPaaS offers extensive customization capabilities. You can easily map and synchronize custom fields from TIMS to BNG (and vice-versa). A visual, low-code rules engine allows you to define complex business logic, conditional routing, and advanced data transformations without writing code, ensuring the integration aligns perfectly with your unique processes.

Security FAQs

▸ What are the security considerations for TIMS-BNG data exchange?
Security is paramount. The integration enforces TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit, uses OAuth 2.0 or secure API keys for authentication with least privilege access, encrypts sensitive data at rest, and provides comprehensive audit trails. Compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS is also a core focus.

Data Quality FAQs

▸ How does the solution ensure data consistency and prevent duplicates?
The iPaaS uses robust data harmonization techniques, including AI-assisted fuzzy matching for deduplication (especially for Customer and Product entities), configurable conflict resolution rules (e.g., 'system of record priority'), and idempotent API calls to prevent duplicate record creation. Data validation rules are applied before data is written to either TIMS or BNG.

Architecture FAQs

▸ Can I integrate TIMS with BNG if one of them is on-premise and the other is cloud-based?
Yes, our iPaaS supports hybrid integration scenarios. Secure agents can be deployed on-premise to facilitate secure and efficient data exchange between your on-premise TIMS or BNG instance and the cloud-based iPaaS, ensuring seamless connectivity across your IT landscape.
