ERP Integration and Workflow: Run All Your Applications in a Single Process

Your ERP, CRM, HR, manufacturing, finance, portal and custom applications may run on different systems. PaperWork brings these applications together in a single process, so data, documents, tasks and approvals move seamlessly between systems.

Reduce repeated data entry, moving data with Excel, tracking processes over email and the gaps between applications. Make your processes faster, traceable and measurable.

Example · Purchase request

  3. 3. Manager approvalThe request reaches the right person.Waiting
  4. 4. Document recordAttachments are kept in Content Server.Waiting
  5. 5. Transfer to ERPThe approval result returns to the record.Waiting

Order data is retrieved from the ERP, so employees do not retype it.

Problems it solves

Your applications work. But who tracks the work between them?

Delays usually happen not inside a system, but in the handoff between two systems. PaperWork manages that handoff as a step in the workflow.

The same data is entered again.

The order number and supplier details are typed into the approval form by hand. When the wrong record is selected, the check starts over.

Data is transferred from the relevant application to the form. Duplicate data entry and copy errors decrease.

Approvals get stuck in correspondence.

Finding out who the request is waiting on requires follow-up by email or phone.

The task, owner and outcome are tracked on the process. The pending step is easier to find.

Documents are kept in different places.

The transaction record is in the ERP, the attachment is in a shared folder. The document has to be found again during review.

The document is saved to Content Server and linked to the related process. The effort of moving files and searching for documents decreases.

Every connection requires development.

The business unit’s request is delayed because it is waiting for a separate integration project.

Ready-made services and connectors are used where suitable. The need for custom development and the time to go live can be reduced.

Integrated with all your applications

Integration Universe

Your applications do their own jobs. PaperWork manages the flow of data, documents and approvals between them. An application in the outer orbit works with PaperWork at the center through a connection method in the inner orbit.

Data from the application is carried into the PaperWork process through the selected connection.

The connection method is chosen based on the interfaces and access options the application offers.

Operations orchestration

More Than Integration: Operations Orchestration

PaperWork does more than transfer data from one system to another. Across an entire process, it manages from a single center:

  • which application the data comes from,
  • in which system the transaction takes place,
  • whose approval is required,
  • which document is saved,
  • which tasks are created,
  • and which system the result is sent to

As a result, ERP, CRM, document management, web applications, employees and external stakeholders become parts of the same operation.

Connect your existing applications to a shared process.

ERP, CRM, HR, manufacturing, finance, a portal or your own custom software. While each one does its own job, data, documents and approvals move through the same process on PaperWork.

Integration and Service Layer

A New Era in Integration: PaperWork Service Layer

Integration with almost no code. PaperWork Service Layer turns the most frequently needed integration operations into ready-made, configurable services. Bring different applications together in a single process and speed up your operations.

Start Workflows from Different Applications

Start PaperWork workflows from your ERP, CRM, website, mobile app or portal. Initial data is transferred to the form automatically, and the process moves forward with the right rules and approval steps.

Save Documents to Content Server

Save contracts, invoices, reports or attachments created in different applications directly to PaperWork Content Server. Manage documents centrally with the right document class and index information.

Embed Forms in Your Applications

Embed PaperWork start forms as an iFrame in your website, intranet, ERP screen or any enterprise application. Users can start processes without leaving the application they work in.

Create Links and QR Codes

Easily create a link or QR code that leads to a workflow’s start form. When the QR code is scanned with a phone, the related form opens and the process can be started instantly.

Users work in their own screens

Use PaperWork from inside another application.

When an employee opens an ERP record, the PaperWork start form can be shown within the same screen. Existing data flows into the form, and the employee only completes the request-specific details.

With the .NET SDK and REST SDK, custom applications can also use PaperWork workflow and document management functions from their own interfaces. This approach reduces the need to search for records in a new application and retype the same information.

Processes that start in the field

Bring the Field into Your Processes with QR Codes

Don’t limit digital processes to desk-based users. Let the person who spots a problem open the request right where they are: a QR code on a machine, warehouse, vehicle or field site leads to the related start form, and PaperWork starts the process when the report is submitted.

01 · Scan the QR codeReach the related form.
02 · Submit the reportDescribe the breakdown or nonconformity.
03 · A task is createdThe request moves through the defined process.
04 · Track the outcomeThe report and the action stay in the same record.

You can place PaperWork QR codes on:

  • Production machines
  • Warehouses
  • Vehicles
  • Construction and field sites
  • Stores
  • Products or equipment

Employees can scan a QR code with their phone to start:

  • Breakdown or maintenance requests
  • Quality nonconformities
  • Occupational health and safety reports
  • Suggestion and improvement requests
  • Warehouse or shipping transactions

This approach makes it easier for blue-collar employees in particular to take part in corporate processes without learning an additional application. It reduces the need to pass field reports to someone else by phone and enter them into the system later.

Ready-made connectors
