Case Study: ERP + CRM Integration with AI

The Challenge

A multinational company operating in 15 countries ran disconnected systems that created information silos and data duplication. The ERP handled operations, while multiple CRM instances managed different regions in isolation.

The problems were numerous and costly:

⚠ Inconsistent data: Customers with duplicate records in 3+ systems
⚠ Massive manual work: Teams exported/imported data daily between systems
⚠ Decisions based on outdated data: Reports taking days to update
⚠ High maintenance costs: Multiple fragile and expensive integrations
⚠ Compliance risk: Complex audits due to lack of data traceability
