Factory ERP Foundation & CRM Workflow
Commercial and operational workflows designed around shared records.
View Case Study →These solution areas connect several screens and systems into one operational result. They are starting points for discovery, not pre-packaged products with a forced process.
Reduce re-entry while keeping a clear source of truth.
CRM–ERP integration links the commercial context held by sales with the customer, stock, order and invoice records used by operations. The design identifies who owns each field, when updates move and how users reconcile an exception.
Synchronise accounts, products, quotes, orders and status updates through observable, recoverable workflows.
Carry approved commercial data from quotation through order, fulfilment and invoicing without avoidable retyping.
A portal should expose the right workflow, not merely mirror internal software.
A B2B order portal can apply customer-specific products, terms and permissions while feeding clean orders into internal operations. It can also surface status, documents and repeat-order tools without revealing internal-only data.
Portal scope starts with the customer task that creates the most friction. Account access, approval roles, order validation and integration ownership are decided before visual features such as dashboards.
Account-specific catalogues, ordering, documents and status connected to fulfilment.
Structured requests and account actions with permission, validation and a visible internal owner.
Keep the request, responses and decision in one record.
RFQ workflows organise requirements, invited suppliers, comparable responses, attachments and approvals. A structured comparison helps the team evaluate the same commercial and technical criteria while retaining why a decision was made.
Requests, supplier invitations, response normalisation, evaluation and decision history.
Thresholds, approval stages, purchase handoff and evidence for exceptions.
Discovery follows representative records through the existing process, including the awkward exceptions. It then defines the users, authoritative systems, rules, integrations and measurable operational outcome for a first release.
The chosen technology follows those boundaries. One solution may be a focused module added to an existing application; another may require a standalone portal and integration service. The label does not predetermine the architecture.
Examples of the workflows, delivery decisions and system boundaries described on this page.

Yes. CRM–ERP integration and quote-to-cash often overlap, for example. The first phase should still have one clear operational result.
Explain where work starts, who makes decisions and which systems are involved. That is enough to begin defining the right solution boundary.
