Integrations

INVO connects to the systemsyour organization already runs.

You do not have to replace your whole IT environment to adopt INVO. We integrate the platform with your existing ERP, your suppliers, your operating applications and your in-house tools. INVO can run as the operating layer between production, supply chain and the enterprise stack you already own.

Integration areas

Three layers of integration.One consistent data flow.

INVO can integrate both with the external supply-chain network and with the internal technology environment of your organization.

Supplier integrations

Connect purchasing straight to your suppliers.

We connect INVO to component suppliers, distributors and their platforms to automate the exchange of parts, prices, orders, confirmations and deliveries.

  • Catalogs
  • Prices
  • Purchase orders
  • Confirmations
  • Deliveries

ERP integrations

Keep your ERP. Add the INVO operating layer.

INVO works alongside your existing ERP and exchanges the data needed for planning, purchasing, inventory, production and analysis.

  • SAP
  • Oracle
  • Microsoft Dynamics
  • Your current ERP

API & custom integrations

Connect INVO to anything in your stack.

With an API and a flexible integration layer we can connect INVO to in-house solutions, legacy systems and applications specific to your organization.

  • REST API
  • Webhooks
  • EDI
  • SFTP
  • Dedicated connectors

Keep your current stack

You do not always have to replace the ERP you have.

In large organizations the main ERP often stays the finance system and the central system of record. INVO can be deployed next to it as a specialized operating layer for drone production.

Supplier network

Connect purchasing straight to your supplier network.

Purchasing should not end when someone exports a spreadsheet or sends an email. INVO can exchange data directly with supplier systems and platforms.

The closed purchasing loop

  1. 01Production schedule
  2. 02Component requirement
  3. 03Purchasing
  4. 04Supplier
  5. 05Order confirmation
  6. 06Delivery
  7. 07Receiving
  8. 08Actual cost

Back into INVO — the loop closes on the actual cost.

INVO → supplier

  • Purchase orders
  • Quantities
  • Delivery location
  • Required delivery date
  • Order changes

Supplier → INVO

  • Parts catalog
  • Current prices
  • Availability
  • Order confirmation
  • Delivery status
  • Datasheets and specs

Which data flows depends on what each supplier’s integration supports.

Connected operations

Data can come from many systems.The process should stay one.

In a typical organization the data needed to run production is spread across many applications. INVO can become the layer that uses that data to run a single operating process.

  • Legacy MESProduction

Data exchange

We integrate the data that drives the operating process.

The integration scope is defined during Solution Design, based on how responsibility is split between the systems.

Master data

  • Components
  • Products
  • BOMs
  • Suppliers
  • Customers
  • Locations
  • Units of measure

Purchasing

  • Requirements
  • Purchase orders
  • Supplier prices
  • Confirmations
  • Deliveries

Inventory

  • Inventory levels
  • Receiving
  • Movements
  • Adjustments

Production

  • Production orders
  • Schedules
  • Consumption
  • Serialized units
  • Statuses

Sales and contracts

  • Sales orders
  • Demand
  • Contracts
  • Contract deliverables

Finance

  • Actual costs
  • Invoices
  • Accounting references
  • Cost centers

Not every flow is required. Direction and scope are designed per customer.

Integration methods

We match the method to your architecture.

Not every system in a real enterprise stack has a modern API. The connection technique follows what each system can actually do.

  • REST API

    Modern data exchange between applications.

  • Webhooks

    Systems react to events instead of polling an API.

  • EDI

    Structured business-document exchange with partners and suppliers.

  • SFTP

    Secure file transfer between systems.

  • File integrations

    CSV, XLSX, XML and other agreed formats.

  • Middleware

    Integration through your existing integration platform.

  • Dedicated connectors

    Purpose-built connections for in-house or legacy systems.

  • If a critical part of your process runs in an in-house or legacy solution, we study what communication it supports and design the connection around that.

We design before we build

Every integration starts with a process, not an endpoint.

During discovery and Solution Design we establish which system should own which data and which process. Only then do we design the integration.

  1. 01Source of truthWhich system owns the data?
  2. 02Data scopeWhat information should be exchanged?
  3. 03DirectionOne-way or two-way?
  4. 04FrequencyReal time, near real time or batch?
  5. 05Error handlingWhat happens when a sync fails?

An integration is part of the process architecture, not a separate technical add-on delivered at the end of the project.

Have an in-house system? We can build a dedicated integration.

Not every organization runs on standard systems. If a key part of the process lives in an in-house or legacy solution, we look at what communication it supports and design the right way to integrate it.

  1. 01DiscoveryHow does the current system work?
  2. 02Data mappingWhich data has to be exchanged?
  3. 03Integration designDirection, frequency, ownership.
  4. 04BuildConnector, API or middleware.
  5. 05TestingEnd-to-end business scenarios.
  6. 06MonitoringError handling and ongoing monitoring.

Let’s see how INVO fits your current architecture.

You do not need detailed integration documentation before the first conversation. Show us the systems, the data sources and the key processes — during discovery we design the target integration architecture together.
