ERP integrations

Plugging Lifecycle into your ERP

Choose which product and purchase order data moves to your ERP and how much detail to include. Our team handles the connection and checks the data flow with you before it goes live.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You decide what moves.

Agree the sync scope, BOM depth and direction for your setup. Lifecycle can send selected data to your ERP, support two-way sync when needed and build the connection while your team starts using Lifecycle.

ERP INTEGRATION

Our team handles the connection

Give us access to the ERP API and an outline of the setup. We connect the systems and review the data flow with you. Lifecycle can remain the source with one-direction sync, or we can support a two-way setup with your ERP partner or IT team.

ERP INTEGRATION

Start with an existing connector

Cin7, ApparelMagic and Shopify work out of the box. For other ERPs, Lifecycle builds against the API. A new ERP integration usually takes one to two weeks.

BUILT INTO LIFECYCLE

A lighter ERP alternative, without the separate bill.

If Lifecycle's built-in purchase orders and shipment tracking cover your team's needs, you may be able to avoid a separate ERP bill and the overhead that comes with it.

BUILD IT IN THE BACKGROUND

Build the connection in the background.

Your team can start product development in Lifecycle while we build the integration. We switch it on after you have checked the agreed data flow.
