The Challenge

The Disconnect Between Sales Ambition and Operational Reality

Without a robust integration, SugarCRM and Microsoft Dynamics NAV operate as isolated silos. This creates a chasm between your customer-facing teams and back-office operations, hindering growth and eroding efficiency.

  • Sales teams lack real-time visibility into inventory, pricing, and customer credit limits from NAV, leading to inaccurate quotes and frustrated customers.
  • Finance teams struggle with manual data entry from SugarCRM opportunities into NAV sales orders, causing delays, transcription errors, and reconciliation headaches.
  • Customer service agents can't access critical financial history from NAV, impacting their ability to resolve billing inquiries or provide holistic support.
  • Product data discrepancies between NAV (master source) and SugarCRM (sales catalog) lead to misquotes and order fulfillment issues.
  • Manual processes for lead-to-opportunity conversion and subsequent ERP setup consume valuable time, delaying customer onboarding and revenue recognition.

Sales Order Automation with Real-time Inventory Check

Automate the creation of sales orders in Dynamics NAV as soon as an opportunity is 'Closed Won' in SugarCRM, simultaneously checking inventory and applying correct pricing.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Sales rep closes an Opportunity in SugarCRM, setting 'Sales Stage' to 'Closed Won'.
  2. 1 SugarCRM webhook triggers an iPaaS workflow.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts Opportunity details, related Account, Contact, and Quote Line Items.
  4. 3 iPaaS queries Dynamics NAV for real-time 'Item' availability and specific 'Customer' pricing/credit terms.
  5. 4 Data is mapped and transformed to create a 'Sales Order' in Dynamics NAV, including 'Item' lines.
  6. 5 If inventory is low or credit limit is exceeded, an alert is sent to sales/finance, and the order is flagged in NAV.
  7. 6 Sales Order 'No.' and status from NAV are synced back to the SugarCRM Opportunity for visibility.

Business Outcome

Reduced order processing time, accurate invoicing, improved inventory management, fewer sales order errors.
