The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Fragmented Infor & TIMS Data Costs You Time & Money

Managing Infor and TIMS as separate systems creates significant operational inefficiencies, leading to manual data entry, delayed processes, and a lack of real-time visibility. This fragmentation hinders agility and impacts critical business functions.

  • Manual data entry between Infor and TIMS for orders, invoices, and inventory.
  • Delayed order fulfillment due to out-of-sync inventory levels.
  • Inaccurate financial reporting from disparate data sources.
  • Inconsistent customer records across sales, service, and accounting.
  • Slow procure-to-pay cycles due to manual invoice processing and PO matching.
  • High operational costs from excessive human intervention and error correction.

Technical Integration Details: Connecting Infor and TIMS with Precision

Our iPaaS provides a robust and flexible architecture for integrating Infor and TIMS, focusing on API-first connectivity, event-driven processes, and intelligent data orchestration.

Data Flow Steps

Secure API Connectivity: Establish authenticated connections using OAuth 2.0 or API keys to Infor's native APIs and TIMS's REST APIs.

Event Listener Configuration: Set up webhooks or polling mechanisms to detect changes (events) in source systems (e.g., new Sales Order in TIMS, inventory update in Infor).

Data Extraction & Transformation: Extract relevant data, apply AI-assisted mapping and low-code transformation rules to align schemas between Infor and TIMS.

Data Validation & Enrichment: Implement validation rules to ensure data quality and enrich records with supplementary information where necessary.

Target System Ingestion: Post transformed and validated data to the target system via its respective APIs (e.g., `POST /infor/api/v1/salesorders`, `PUT /api/v1/customers/{id}`).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement automated retries, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts for failed transactions, with comprehensive logging.

Status Updates & Feedback Loops: Update source systems with status changes or confirmations from the target system, ensuring end-to-end visibility.

Data Touchpoints

Hover over the steps on the right to see detailed integration points.
Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Infor and TIMS

Achieve data harmony by precisely mapping critical business entities between Infor and TIMS. Our iPaaS, with AI assistance, streamlines this complex process.

Customer

Represents a business or individual, central to sales, marketing, and finance.

Infor Fields

CustomerID CustomerName BillingAddress ShippingAddress ContactEmail PhoneNumber PaymentTerms CreditLimit

TIMS Fields

CustomerID ExternalID CompanyName FirstName LastName Email Phone BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentTerms

Mapping Notes

Map `CustomerID` as primary internal ID. `ExternalID` in TIMS crucial for linking to Infor's `CustomerID` or CRM IDs. Address fields require robust harmonization and parsing. Deduplication logic is essential for new customer creation.

eCommerce Order-to-Cash Automation

Automate the entire order lifecycle from an eCommerce platform through Infor for fulfillment and TIMS for accounting, ensuring real-time updates and accurate financial records.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 New Sales Order created in eCommerce platform.
  2. 1 iPaaS captures event (webhook) and creates Sales Order in TIMS (`/api/v1/salesorders`).
  3. 2 TIMS Sales Order triggers creation of Sales Order in Infor (`/infor/api/v1/salesorders`).
  4. 3 Inventory levels updated in TIMS and Infor (`/api/v1/inventory/items/{sku}/quantity`, `/infor/api/v1/inventory/{item_id}`).
  5. 4 Fulfillment status from Infor (or WMS) updates Sales Order status in TIMS and eCommerce.
  6. 5 Invoice generated in Infor (`/infor/api/v1/invoices`) and synchronized to TIMS (`/api/v1/accounts/receivable/invoices`).
  7. 6 Payment received in payment gateway, posted to TIMS (`/api/v1/accounts/receivable/invoices`) and reconciled with Infor's GL (`/infor/api/v1/gl/journalentries`).

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

▸ What are the primary benefits of integrating Infor with TIMS using an iPaaS?
Integrating Infor and TIMS via an iPaaS provides real-time data synchronization, automates cross-system workflows (like Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay), reduces manual effort, improves data accuracy, and enhances visibility across your enterprise. It leverages API-first connectivity, low-code automation, and can incorporate AI for intelligent decision-making, making your combined Infor-TIMS ecosystem more agile and efficient.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS support Infor's various modules and TIMS's accounting functions?
An iPaaS provides specialized connectors and a flexible mapping engine to interact with Infor's diverse modules (Finance, SCM, HCM) and TIMS's core accounting and ERP functions. It can extract/update financial transactions (GL, AP, AR), synchronize supply chain data (inventory, orders, procurements), and manage HR data by leveraging both systems' specific APIs, ensuring data integrity across all functions.

Low-Code FAQs

▸ Can I use low-code/no-code tools to build Infor and TIMS integrations?
Absolutely. Modern iPaaS platforms offer intuitive low-code/no-code interfaces, enabling business analysts and citizen integrators to design, build, and deploy complex Infor and TIMS workflows with minimal coding. This democratizes integration, accelerates development cycles, and reduces the burden on traditional IT teams.

AI FAQs

▸ What role does AI play in Infor and TIMS integration and automation?
AI significantly augments Infor-TIMS integration by providing intelligent capabilities such as automated data mapping suggestions, anomaly detection in financial transactions (e.g., TIMS invoices), predictive inventory management (from Infor data), and autonomous exception handling. This reduces manual intervention, improves data quality, and offers proactive insights.

Security FAQs

▸ How do I ensure data security when integrating Infor and TIMS with third-party systems?
Data security is paramount. Best practices include using robust authentication methods (OAuth 2.0 for both Infor and TIMS), encrypting data in transit (TLS/SSL), implementing strict access controls (least privilege), tokenizing sensitive data (e.g., payment info), and ensuring your iPaaS adheres to industry-standard security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).

Challenges FAQs

▸ What are common challenges when integrating Infor with TIMS, especially for eCommerce?
Common challenges include maintaining real-time inventory accuracy across both systems, synchronizing complex product catalogs with varying attributes, managing dynamic pricing, ensuring consistent customer data (Customer 360), and orchestrating order fulfillment workflows across Infor's SCM and TIMS's accounting. A flexible iPaaS with robust mapping and event-driven capabilities is crucial to overcome these.

Performance FAQs

▸ How can I handle API rate limits for Infor and TIMS and ensure optimal performance?
To manage API rate limits, implement strategies like intelligent queuing and throttling within your iPaaS, use batch processing for non-real-time data, and design workflows to gracefully handle 'Too Many Requests' (429) errors with exponential backoff. Proactive monitoring and optimizing payload sizes also contribute to better performance for both Infor and TIMS.

Data Management FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate master data management (MDM) for Infor and TIMS?
An iPaaS can act as a central hub for MDM by orchestrating data synchronization and validation rules for critical entities like Customers, Products, and Vendors between Infor and TIMS. It ensures that changes made in one system are accurately reflected in the other, maintaining a 'golden record' and preventing data inconsistencies.
