An ERP that can’t talk to the rest of the business just becomes one more screen someone has to re-key data into. The integrations that hold up over time share a common trait: they’re built around the API each system was designed to expose, not around scraping a report export at 2am and hoping the format doesn’t change.
The goal is a connected system that keeps working as either side of the integration changes — not a one-time script that quietly breaks on the next update.
