Why integration is crucial
Imagine this: A customer contacts your support team - ideally, the employee immediately sees relevant information: current orders, service contracts, notice periods, outstanding invoices. Without a connection between CRM, ERP and support, much of this data remains hidden - the customer often has to provide this information again or the support team has to clarify it. For you, this means delays in response, potential errors and a break in the customer experience.
At DI Experts, we develop integration from the customer's perspective. We start by asking: What needs to be visible in order to process customer inquiries quickly? This is the only way to create a genuine level of service that strengthens your employees and retains your customers.
Our end-to-end approach
Customer processes as a starting point
We don't start with the technology, but with the touchpoints: How does a typical customer inquiry work? Which data from the CRM, ERP or support system needs to be merged? This creates a process image that serves as the basis for system integration.
Data model & interface logic
In the next phase, we determine which data is to be synchronized: Customer master data, order information, support tickets, SLA data and relevant contract details. This requires a common understanding, clear field names and rules on data quality and ownership.
Integration technology with a sense of proportion
Depending on your needs, we use point-to-point APIs or middleware/iPaaS platforms. The important thing is that the solution grows with your requirements - not the other way around. Data must be available in real time, errors must be transparent and correction options must be provided.
Test & Iteration
We develop test cases based on realistic scenarios - e.g. a change of address in CRM that retroactively affects open support cases. Automated tests and manual checks ensure that data flows consistently and that all systems remain synchronized.
Governance & long-term maintenance
Integration is not a one-off project. We jointly define responsibilities for data quality, interface maintenance and system updates. This ensures that your system network remains stable - even if individual solutions are changed.
Practical examples with a noticeable effect
- Automatic ticket creation: When a contract customer calls the CRM, a support ticket is immediately opened in the ticket system - including all relevant contract and order data. Waiting times decrease, satisfaction increases.
- Real service overview in CRM: customer service teams can see live which service has been delivered (e.g. repairs, maintenance intervals) without having to switch to ERP.
- Self-service with real-time data: Customers have access to invoice and contract information via the portal - maintained in the ERP, released in the CRM, documented in the support system.
