Unify Sage X3 and Epicor E9: Master Your ERP Ecosystem

Achieve real-time data synchronization, automate critical workflows, and gain a single source of truth for finance and operations across Sage X3 and Epicor E9.

The Challenge

Bridging the ERP Divide: The Challenges of Disconnected Sage X3 & Epicor E9

Operating with both Sage X3 and Epicor E9, whether due to mergers, acquisitions, or departmental specialization, often leads to significant operational inefficiencies. Without a robust integration, critical business data remains siloed, hindering decision-making and increasing operational costs.

  • Manual data entry and reconciliation between two distinct ERP systems.
  • Inconsistent master data (customer, vendor, product) across departments.
  • Delayed financial reporting and complex cross-system consolidations.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and financial transactions.
  • High risk of errors, data discrepancies, and compliance issues.
  • Inefficient procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles spanning multiple platforms.

Technical Integration: Orchestrating Sage X3 and Epicor E9 Data Flows

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, API-first approach to integrate Sage X3 and Epicor E9, ensuring secure, scalable, and efficient data exchange. This technical overview outlines the core components and methodology.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connection Establishment: Utilize native connectors to establish authenticated and encrypted connections to both Sage X3 and Epicor E9 APIs (OAuth2 for Sage X3, Service Accounts/Custom APIs for Epicor E9).

Event Detection & Triggering: Configure event listeners (webhooks for Sage X3, Service Connect events or database triggers for Epicor E9, or scheduled polls for batch operations) to detect changes or initiate workflows.

Data Extraction & Ingestion: Extract relevant data entities (e.g., Customer, Product, Invoice) from the source ERP using optimized API calls, leveraging filtering and pagination.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Employ the iPaaS's visual mapping engine to transform and harmonize data schemas, ensuring compatibility between Sage X3 and Epicor E9 data models. This includes data type conversions, value lookups, and complex business logic application.

Validation & Enrichment: Implement comprehensive data validation rules and potentially enrich data with information from other systems (e.g., address validation, tax calculations) before posting to the target ERP.

Data Loading & Posting: Post the transformed and validated data to the target ERP using its respective APIs, ensuring idempotent operations to prevent duplicates.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling (retries, dead-letter queues, alerts) and provide real-time dashboards for end-to-end visibility and traceability of all transactions.

Data Touchpoints

Customer (Bi-directional)
Vendor (Bi-directional)
Product/Part (Bi-directional)
Inventory (Bi-directional, event-driven)
Sales Order (Uni-directional or Bi-directional, depending on workflow)
Purchase Order (Uni-directional or Bi-directional, depending on workflow)
Invoice (AR/AP) (Uni-directional)
Payment (Uni-directional)
General Ledger Entry (Uni-directional, primarily for consolidation)

"The integration architecture centers around the iPaaS. Source ERP (Sage X3 or Epicor E9) events trigger data extraction. The iPaaS then processes, transforms, and validates this data using low-code components and AI assistance. Finally, the transformed data is securely posted to the Target ERP (Epicor E9 or Sage X3). All steps are monitored, with errors routed for intelligent resolution."

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

Why would I need to integrate Sage X3 and Epicor E9?
Organizations often run both Sage X3 and Epicor E9 due to mergers, acquisitions, or specialized departmental needs. Integrating them eliminates data silos, automates cross-system workflows, and provides a unified view of financial and operational data, crucial for efficiency and accurate reporting.

Challenges FAQs

What are the common challenges when integrating Sage X3 and Epicor E9?
Challenges include managing diverse data formats, ensuring consistent master data (customers, vendors, products), handling API rate limits, orchestrating complex multi-step workflows across two ERPs, and securely transmitting sensitive financial information. A robust iPaaS is designed to overcome these complexities.

Technical FAQs

Can I achieve real-time synchronization between Sage X3 and Epicor E9?
Yes, both Sage X3 and Epicor E9 offer API capabilities that, when paired with an event-driven iPaaS, enable real-time or near real-time synchronization. This is critical for entities like inventory levels, sales orders, and master data updates to ensure immediate consistency across systems.
What if Epicor E9's native APIs are insufficient for my needs?
Our iPaaS can still facilitate integration. This might involve creating custom API wrappers around Epicor E9's underlying business objects or leveraging direct database connectors (with appropriate security and caution). The iPaaS abstracts these complexities, allowing flexible interaction with Epicor E9's data model.

iPaaS Features FAQs

How does low-code/no-code help with Sage X3 and Epicor E9 integration?
Low-code/no-code tools empower business users and citizen integrators to design, build, and manage integration workflows for both ERPs using visual, drag-and-drop interfaces. This significantly accelerates development, reduces reliance on IT, and allows for quicker adaptation to changing business requirements.

AI Benefits FAQs

What role does AI play in this integration?
AI significantly enhances Sage X3 and Epicor E9 integrations through intelligent mapping suggestions, automated data validation, anomaly detection in financial transactions, predictive analytics for inventory, and AI-assisted error resolution. This leads to higher data quality, proactive issue resolution, and more intelligent automation.

Security FAQs

How do you ensure data security and compliance during integration?
We prioritize security with OAuth2/strong API keys for authentication, TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit, and encryption at rest for sensitive data. We implement least privilege access, IP whitelisting, data masking for non-production environments, and adhere to compliance standards like PCI DSS and GDPR.

Financial Workflows FAQs

Can this integration support complex financial consolidation scenarios?
Absolutely. The iPaaS can extract General Ledger entries, invoices, and payment data from both Sage X3 and Epicor E9, apply complex mapping and transformation rules for a unified chart of accounts, and then load the consolidated data into a central reporting system or designated master ERP for streamlined financial close and enhanced analytics.
