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.
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.
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.

INVO can extend your existing architecture instead of replacing it.
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.

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.

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.
01Source of truthWhich system owns the data?
02Data scopeWhat information should be exchanged?
03DirectionOne-way or two-way?
04FrequencyReal time, near real time or batch?
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.
INVO can sit in the middle of your existing environment.

Integrations
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.
