Direct ERP Integration

ERP is one of the most widely deployed ERPs in mid-market and enterprise organizations across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. It is also one of the hardest ERPs to integrate with from a modern AP automation tool. Most ERP deployments are on-premise, behind corporate firewalls. The cloud-first AP vendors built for SaaS-era ERPs (NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks Online) simply do not have the integration story for on-premise ERP.

The result is that ERP-based finance teams have been stuck — using AP tools that integrate well with cloud systems but not with the actual ERP instance that holds their financial data, or running AP entirely on top of ERP with all the manual workflow problems that come with it.

FinMark.ai is built specifically for the on-premise ERP reality. The integration handles the firewall realities, the authentication patterns, and the bidirectional sync that on-premise ERP deployments need. Once configured, POs and GRNs flow from ERP into FinMark.ai automatically, and approved invoices flow back into ERP with all the relevant fields populated.

The integration is in production today at a major enterprise group across two subsidiaries, each with their own ERP instance. The setup is repeatable for the next customer running ERP — we have already done the hard part of figuring out how on-premise ERP integration actually works.

From your ERP into FinMark.ai: purchase orders, goods receipt notes, vendor master data, and chart of accounts references. From FinMark.ai into ERP: approved invoices with all the standard fields plus the Nigerian Withholding Tax fields populated. The integration is bidirectional, automated, and audited end to end.

Once an invoice is in ERP, the AP team posts it like any other invoice — except the validation, the matching, and the tax computation have already been done. The whole loop runs without humans rekeying data between systems.

The ERP integration is currently running in production at a major enterprise group across two operating subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has its own ERP instance and its own FinMark.ai subdomain. The integration runs continuously and has been verified end-to-end including the round-trip ERP push-back.
