Robust Integration Architecture for Epicor Eclipse and Heartland
The integration architecture is built on a modern iPaaS, providing a scalable, secure, and resilient bridge between Epicor Eclipse and Heartland. It prioritizes an API-first, event-driven approach, leveraging low-code capabilities for rapid development and AI for intelligent operations.
Data Flow Steps
API-First, Event-Driven Architecture: Utilize Heartland's webhooks and Epicor Eclipse's APIs for real-time data exchange, enabling immediate reactions to business events (e.g., new order, payment processed).
Canonical Data Model: Define a unified data schema within the iPaaS for common entities (Customer, Order, Payment) to simplify mapping and ensure consistency across systems.
Micro-integrations: Break down complex workflows into smaller, manageable, and independently deployable integration flows.
Publish-Subscribe Model: For broadcasting events (e.g., a new product update from Epicor Eclipse to multiple channels including Heartland POS).
Idempotent API Calls: Design integration flows to ensure that repeated API calls (due to retries) do not result in duplicate transactions in Heartland or Epicor Eclipse.
Data Touchpoints

API Endpoints & Data Logic
Technical details for developers and architects.
⚡ Transformation Logic
- Currency Conversion: Ensure consistent currency codes and apply conversion rates if transactions span multiple currencies.
- Date/Time Formatting: Standardize `timestamp` and `date` fields to a common format (e.g., ISO 8601).
- Customer ID Reconciliation: Map and synchronize unique customer identifiers between Epicor Eclipse, Heartland, and potentially a CRM, creating cross-reference tables.
- Product SKU Matching: Reconcile product SKUs and inventory quantities, handling variations in product identifiers.
- Payment Status Mapping: Convert Heartland's `transactionType` and `status` to Epicor Eclipse's specific payment event codes for GL posting.
- Address Normalization: Parse and standardize address components to ensure consistency for shipping and billing.
- Payroll Deduction Mapping: Translate specific deduction types and benefit codes from HRIS/Epicor Eclipse to Heartland Payroll's schema.
🛡️ Error Handling
- Heartland API downtime leading to payment processing delays.
- Epicor Eclipse ERP being offline, preventing GL posting.
- Data validation failures due to incorrect formats or missing required fields.
- Duplicate transaction attempts due to network issues.
- Mismatched customer IDs causing unlinked transactions.
