Unify Sage X3 and Dynamics CRM: Achieve a 360° Business View

Streamline operations, automate critical workflows, and empower your teams with real-time data synchronization between your ERP and CRM.

The Challenge

The Challenge: Disconnected Data Between ERP and CRM

Without a robust integration, critical business data remains isolated between Sage X3 and Dynamics CRM, creating operational inefficiencies, hindering decision-making, and compromising the customer experience.

  • Manual Data Entry & Errors: Sales orders, customer updates, and financial details must be manually entered into multiple systems, leading to errors and delays.
  • Incomplete Customer View: Sales and service teams lack real-time access to financial history, order status, or inventory, impairing customer interactions.
  • Delayed Financial Reporting: Discrepancies between sales forecasts in CRM and actuals in ERP create challenges for accurate financial planning.
  • Inefficient Order-to-Cash: The journey from a CRM opportunity to an ERP invoice is fragmented, slowing down revenue cycles and increasing administrative overhead.
  • Stale Inventory & Pricing: Outdated product and inventory information in CRM leads to inaccurate quotes, missed sales opportunities, or overselling.

Seamless Integration Architecture & Data Flow

Our integration solution for Sage X3 and Dynamics CRM is built on a modern iPaaS, ensuring secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange. It leverages native APIs, event-driven triggers, and robust data transformation capabilities to create a truly connected enterprise.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connection Establishment: The iPaaS establishes secure, authenticated connections to both Sage X3 (via OAuth2/API keys) and Dynamics CRM (via OAuth2/Azure AD Service Principals).

Event Listener/Polling: The iPaaS continuously monitors for relevant events in either system (e.g., new customer, sales order status change) using webhooks, Dataverse events, or optimized polling schedules.

Data Extraction: Upon an event, the iPaaS extracts the relevant data from the source system via its native APIs, applying filters to retrieve only necessary fields.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: The extracted data undergoes extensive transformation within the iPaaS's visual mapping engine. This includes schema normalization, data type conversion, enrichment, and the application of custom business rules and validation logic.

AI-Powered Validation: AI algorithms within the iPaaS perform real-time data quality checks, anomaly detection, and deduplication against existing records in the target system.

Data Ingestion: The transformed and validated data is then pushed to the target system via its respective APIs. Batching is used for high-volume operations, while real-time updates are prioritized for critical entities.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures during extraction, transformation, or ingestion are captured, logged, and managed with automated retries, dead-letter queues, and proactive alerts.

Status Updates & Bi-directional Flow: For bi-directional syncs, status updates (e.g., order fulfillment status from Sage X3) are captured and synced back to the originating system (Dynamics CRM).

Data Touchpoints

Sales Order creation, updates, and status changes.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

Our iPaaS provides granular control over entity synchronization and field-level mapping, ensuring that data flows accurately and consistently between Sage X3 and Dynamics CRM. AI-powered mapping accelerates this process, reducing manual effort and improving data quality.

Customer / Account

The foundational entity for managing business relationships. Synchronized bi-directionally to ensure a consistent customer record across sales, service, and finance.

Sage X3 Fields

Customer ID (key) Customer Name Address (Billing, Shipping) Contact Information (Email, Phone) Payment Terms Customer Group Credit Limit

Dynamics CRM Fields

accountid (key) name accountnumber primarycontactid address1_composite creditlimit customertypecode

Mapping Notes

Critical for master data management. Requires robust deduplication logic. Sage X3 often holds the 'financial' master, while Dynamics CRM is the 'engagement' master. AI-assisted fuzzy matching helps identify potential duplicates.
