GoldFinch ERP connects operational, financial, commerce, payment, shipping, and planning systems so organizations can manage information more efficiently while reducing duplicate data entry.
GoldFinch is built natively on the Salesforce Platform. This allows GoldFinch to work with Salesforce capabilities and compatible AppExchange applications while also connecting to external systems through packaged integrations, APIs, middleware, and secure data exchanges.
Why Integrate Business Systems?
Without integration, employees may need to enter the same customer, item, order, invoice, payment, or shipment information into multiple systems. This increases administrative work and creates opportunities for delays and errors.
System integrations can help organizations:
- Reduce duplicate data entry
- Improve data consistency and accuracy
- Accelerate order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes
- Maintain more timely inventory and fulfillment information
- Improve financial reporting and reconciliation
- Connect eCommerce, warehouse, shipping, and accounting activities
- Provide users with a more complete view of business operations
- Reduce dependence on manual spreadsheets and file handling
Salesforce-Native Advantages
Because GoldFinch operates within Salesforce, users can combine ERP information with Salesforce customer, sales, service, reporting, approval, and automation capabilities.
When GoldFinch and another Salesforce-native application operate in the same Salesforce environment, the applications may be able to share authorized records and platform services without maintaining a separate external GoldFinch database.
This can provide:
- A common security and permission framework
- Shared reporting and dashboard capabilities
- Salesforce workflow and approval automation
- A consistent user experience
- Fewer disconnected databases
- Access to compatible Salesforce and AppExchange applications
The exact integration architecture depends on the applications, licenses, configuration, and customer requirements.
What Information Can Be Integrated?
Depending on the connected system, integrations may exchange:
- Customers and vendors
- Contacts and addresses
- Items, units of measure, and pricing
- Sales and purchase orders
- Inventory availability and transactions
- Warehouse and fulfillment information
- Shipments and tracking numbers
- Invoices, credits, and payments
- Tax calculations
- Bank and expense transactions
- General-ledger information
- Budgets, forecasts, and actual results
Not every integration supports every record or workflow. Data availability, direction, and frequency depend on the connected product and the agreed integration scope.
Integration Methods
GoldFinch supports different integration approaches based on the business requirement, including:
- Salesforce-native records and automation
- Packaged GoldFinch integration modules
- REST and other supported APIs
- Scheduled synchronization
- Secure file import and export
- Middleware such as MuleSoft
- Customer-specific integration services
Licensing and Implementation
Some integrations require a separately licensed GoldFinch module, a subscription to the connected service, implementation services, or API access from the third-party provider.
GoldFinch works with each customer to define the source of truth, data mappings, synchronization direction, timing, exception handling, testing, and deployment requirements.
Contact GoldFinch Support or your GoldFinch representative to discuss a specific integration requirement.
