Achieve seamless data flow, automated workflows, and a single source of truth across your enterprise with intelligent integration.

The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected ERPs: Sage X3 & Epicor Kinetic

Operating Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic in silos creates a fragmented enterprise landscape. Manual data transfers, inconsistent information, and delayed processes hinder efficiency and lead to costly errors.

  • Data Silos & Inconsistency: Critical information like customer profiles, inventory levels, sales orders, and financial records are duplicated or out of sync between Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic.
  • Manual Data Entry & Errors: Reliance on manual input for transferring data between systems leads to human errors, increased operational costs, and delays in critical business processes.
  • Delayed Financial Reporting: Inconsistent GL entries and invoice data across both ERPs complicate financial close processes and impact reporting accuracy.
  • Inefficient Order & Procurement Cycles: Lack of real-time visibility into inventory from Kinetic or customer data from Sage X3 slows down order fulfillment and complicates supplier management.
  • Limited 360-Degree View: Without integrated data, gaining a holistic view of customers, sales performance, or supply chain health across both ERPs is nearly impossible.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic

Seamless data exchange relies on precise mapping of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas and AI assistance to harmonize fields between Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Customer

Master data for individuals or organizations. Synchronized bi-directionally to ensure a unified customer view.

Sage X3 Fields

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

Epicor Kinetic Fields

CustNum (PK) CustID (Unique ID) Name Address ContactName PhoneNum EmailAddress CreditLimit

Mapping Notes

Sage X3's 'Customer ID' maps to Epicor Kinetic's 'CustID'. Address fields require careful sub-field mapping and standardization. Payment Terms ('TermsCode') should be harmonized. Ensure unique identifier consistency for deduplication.

Key automated workflows include eCommerce Order-to-Cash (orders from storefront to Kinetic fulfillment to X3 invoicing), Procure-to-Pay (vendor invoice processing from Kinetic to X3 payments), Master Data Synchronization (Customer, Vendor, Product), and General Ledger Entry automation for financial close.

iPaaS Capabilities FAQs

How does an iPaaS facilitate Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic integration?
An iPaaS acts as the central hub, providing pre-built connectors for both ERPs, a visual mapping engine, workflow orchestration, robust error handling, and centralized monitoring. It abstracts away complexity, enabling scalable, reusable, and resilient connectivity, leveraging both systems' APIs and eventing capabilities.

Technical Capabilities FAQs

Can this integration support real-time data synchronization?
Yes, absolutely. Both Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic offer robust APIs and eventing capabilities. When coupled with an event-driven iPaaS, this integration can achieve real-time or near real-time synchronization for critical data like inventory levels, sales orders, and customer updates, minimizing latency.

AI Enhancements FAQs

What role does AI play in this integration solution?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent field mapping suggestions, automating data validation, detecting anomalies in transactions (e.g., unusual order values), suggesting optimal data flows, and assisting with predictive error resolution. This leads to higher data quality and more efficient operations.

Security & Compliance FAQs

How do you handle data security and compliance for sensitive ERP data?
We prioritize security with OAuth2 authentication, TLS 1.2+ encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, and least privilege access. We adhere to standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS (for payment data), ensuring comprehensive data protection and audit trails.

Customization FAQs

Is it possible to customize the integration flows?
Yes, our low-code/no-code iPaaS platform allows extensive customization. You can easily add custom fields, define conditional logic, implement specific business rules, and extend workflows to integrate with other third-party applications, all without extensive coding, and test them in a sandbox environment.

Performance FAQs

How are API rate limits managed for Sage X3 and Epicor Kinetic?
Our iPaaS intelligently manages API rate limits by implementing queuing mechanisms, batching requests, staggering API calls, and automatically detecting HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors. It uses exponential backoff and retry logic to ensure continuous operation without overloading either ERP system.
