Unify Dynamics 365 with Epicor E9: Drive Intelligent Business Automation

Break down data silos between your Microsoft Dynamics 365 applications and Epicor E9 ERP for real-time visibility, streamlined operations, and enhanced decision-making.

The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected Business Systems

Operating with Dynamics 365 (for CRM, sales, or SCM) and Epicor E9 (for ERP, accounting, manufacturing) as siloed systems leads to significant operational inefficiencies, data discrepancies, and delayed insights. Manual processes become a bottleneck, hindering growth and impacting customer satisfaction.

  • Manual data entry between systems is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and customer data.
  • Delayed financial reporting and month-end closes due to reconciliation efforts.
  • Inconsistent customer experiences across sales, service, and fulfillment.
  • Difficulty in scaling operations without robust, automated data flows.
  • Compliance risks from disparate data sources and inadequate audit trails.

Technical Integration Details: Connecting Dynamics 365 and Epicor E9

Our iPaaS provides a robust and flexible framework for integrating Dynamics 365 and Epicor E9, leveraging best practices for API connectivity, data transformation, and workflow orchestration. This ensures a secure, scalable, and high-performance integration.

Data Flow Steps

Discovery & Planning: Define integration scope, identify key entities, workflows, and data mapping requirements.

iPaaS Setup & Connector Configuration: Provision iPaaS, configure secure connectors for Dynamics 365 (AAD OAuth) and Epicor E9 (Service Accounts/APIs).

Workflow Design (Low-Code): Visually design integration flows (e.g., Order-to-Cash, Customer Sync) using the iPaaS canvas.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Map fields between systems, apply data validation and transformation rules (AI-assisted).

Testing & Validation (Sandbox): Rigorously test all integration flows in a sandbox environment with realistic data.

Deployment & Monitoring: Deploy to production, establish centralized monitoring, alerting, and error handling protocols.

Optimization & Maintenance: Continuously monitor performance, optimize flows, and manage changes with version control.

Data Touchpoints

Dynamics 365: Account, Contact, Product, Sales Order, Sales Order Detail, Invoice, Vendor, Purchase Order, Payment Transaction (custom), General Ledger Account.
Epicor E9: Customer, Sales Order, Order Lines, Part/Product, Inventory, Purchase Order, PO Lines, Invoice (AR/AP), Payment, General Ledger Entry, Vendor/Supplier, Shipment.

"The integration architecture features the iPaaS as a central hub. Dynamics 365 (e.g., Sales, SCM) initiates events (e.g., new Sales Order) via webhooks/Dataverse events. The iPaaS captures these events, orchestrates data transformation, and interacts with Epicor E9 (e.g., Sales Order API) to create/update records. Bidirectional flows ensure status updates and inventory changes from Epicor E9 are reflected back in Dynamics 365. All data flows are secured via TLS, authenticated via OAuth/service accounts, and monitored for performance and errors."
