The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Fragmented Sage 50 & Epicor Eclipse Data Harms Your Business

Operating Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse in isolation creates significant operational friction. Manual data transfers between these critical ERP systems lead to inaccuracies, delays, and a fragmented view of your business, hindering agility and profitability.

  • Duplicate data entry across accounting and operational systems.
  • Delayed visibility into sales orders, inventory levels, and financial performance.
  • Inconsistent customer and vendor master data, leading to service errors.
  • Manual reconciliation processes that consume excessive time and resources.
  • Inability to scale operations efficiently due to integration bottlenecks.

Technical Integration: Connecting Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse with iPaaS

Our integration approach leverages a robust iPaaS to bridge the architectural differences between Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse, ensuring secure, scalable, and real-time data flow. We prioritize an API-first, event-driven strategy where possible, while accommodating Sage 50's traditional connectivity methods.

Data Flow Steps

iPaaS Configuration: Set up iPaaS environment, connectors for Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse.

Authentication & Security: Configure secure authentication (OAuth 2.0 for Epicor Eclipse, secure agent/credentials for Sage 50), ensuring least privilege access.

Schema Mapping & Transformation: Visually map fields between Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse entities (e.g., Customer, Item, Sales Order). Define transformation rules for data harmonization (e.g., UOM conversions, date formats).

Workflow Design: Design integration flows using a low-code canvas, defining triggers, actions, and conditional logic (e.g., 'If Sales Order status is 'Shipped' in Epicor Eclipse, create Invoice in Sage 50').

Event & Trigger Setup: Configure event listeners (webhooks for Epicor Eclipse, change data capture for Sage 50 via agent) or scheduled polls for data synchronization.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement intelligent retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, automated alerts, and comprehensive logging within the iPaaS.

Testing & Deployment: Thoroughly test workflows in sandbox environments, then promote to production using controlled deployment pipelines.

Ongoing Governance: Monitor integration performance, audit data flows, and manage updates/versions effectively.

Data Touchpoints

Customer: Epicor Eclipse Customer Master <-> iPaaS <-> Sage 50 Customer Record
Vendor: Epicor Eclipse Vendor Master <-> iPaaS <-> Sage 50 Vendor Record

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping for Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse

A successful integration hinges on precise mapping and transformation of common entities shared between Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to manage these complexities.

Customer

Central to sales and accounting. Synchronizing ensures consistent contact, billing, shipping, and credit information.

Sage 50 Fields

CustomerID CompanyName ContactName BillingAddress ShippingAddress Email Phone CreditLimit Terms SalesTaxCode

Epicor Eclipse Fields

CustomerID CustomerName Address ContactInfo CreditLimit TermsCode

Mapping Notes

CustomerID should be cross-referenced for unique identification. Address fields require careful mapping due to potential structural differences. CreditLimit and TermsCode typically originate from Epicor Eclipse as the operational ERP, then synced to Sage 50 for AR management.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

Why is a modern iPaaS essential for Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse integration?
A modern iPaaS is crucial because it bridges the architectural differences between Sage 50 (often desktop/SDK-based) and Epicor Eclipse (API-driven). It provides a unified, low-code platform for real-time, event-driven data synchronization, robust error handling, complex data transformations, and centralized monitoring, which are not natively available in either system. This ensures scalability, reliability, and faster development.

Data Synchronization FAQs

Can I synchronize customer and vendor master data bi-directionally between Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse?
Yes, bi-directional synchronization for Customer and Vendor master data is a common and critical use case. Our iPaaS allows you to define which system acts as the 'system of record' for specific fields, implement robust deduplication logic, and manage updates from either ERP, ensuring a consistent and accurate unified view across both Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse.

Inventory Management FAQs

How does the integration handle real-time inventory synchronization between Epicor Eclipse and Sage 50?
Epicor Eclipse is typically the operational system for inventory. Our iPaaS leverages event-driven architecture, capturing inventory transactions (e.g., sales, receipts, adjustments) from Epicor Eclipse in near real-time. These updates are then transformed and pushed to Sage 50 to maintain accurate inventory valuation and to any connected e-commerce platforms to prevent overselling. This ensures consistent stock levels across your entire ecosystem.

Financial Integration FAQs

What are the common challenges when mapping financial data (e.g., GL accounts) between Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse?
Common challenges include differing chart of accounts structures, inconsistent GL account segmentations, and complex business rules for categorizing transactions. Our iPaaS addresses this with a visual mapping canvas, allowing you to define precise transformation rules. AI-assisted mapping can also suggest optimal GL account assignments based on transaction type, item category, or historical data, significantly simplifying this process.

AI & Automation FAQs

How does AI enhance the Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse integration workflows?
AI significantly augments integration by providing intelligent field mapping suggestions, detecting anomalies in financial transactions (e.g., potential fraud, incorrect amounts), automating data validation and correction, and even suggesting optimal GL account postings. This leads to higher data quality, reduced manual intervention, and more intelligent operational insights across both ERPs.

Security & Compliance FAQs

What kind of security measures are in place for this integration?
Security is paramount. We implement end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, AES-256 for data at rest), secure credential vaulting, OAuth 2.0/API Key authentication with least privilege access, and strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Comprehensive audit trails, data masking for sensitive information in logs, and adherence to compliance standards like GDPR and PCI DSS ensure your financial data is always protected.

Customization FAQs

Can I customize integration workflows to fit my unique business processes?
Absolutely. Our low-code iPaaS platform is designed for extensibility. You can easily customize existing workflows or build entirely new ones using a drag-and-drop interface. This includes adding custom fields, defining complex conditional logic, integrating with additional third-party systems, and applying specific business rules without writing extensive code, tailoring the integration precisely to your operational needs.

Implementation & Deployment FAQs

How do you manage development, testing, and production environments for Sage 50/Epicor Eclipse integrations?
Our iPaaS supports robust environment promotion pipelines (Dev → QA → Prod). This involves separate configurations for each environment, version control for all integration flows, automated testing capabilities in QA, and controlled deployment processes. This ensures that changes are thoroughly validated and do not impact your live Sage 50 and Epicor Eclipse operations before being pushed to production.
