ERP connection

ERP Integration
with Linetrack

Linetrack keeps orders, project and order numbers, cost centres and master data in sync with your ERP system - the scope is agreed individually per project.

Linetrack project management software with a live ERP connection for orders and master data

In short

An ERP integration keeps orders, project and order numbers, cost centres and master data in sync between your ERP system and Linetrack - the scope is agreed individually per project. Of Linetrack customers with a live connection, 39% have an ERP connection, usually for exactly these fields, so the project structure is not maintained twice.

Data exchange

What is exchanged between ERP systems and Linetrack

Type of connection: Live sync, agreed per system.

The full list of every connected system is on the interfaces overview.

Challenge

Why master data gets maintained twice without an ERP connection

New employees, cost centres, and order and project numbers are created in the ERP system and, without a connection, have to be copied into the project system by hand. Every missed change creates a second version - and exactly the mistrust that clean planning is meant to remove.

This shows up directly in multi-project managementwhen orders and cost centres have to stay in sync across many projects at once.

The same logic applies to SAP as a widely used ERP system - see the SAP integrationpage for details.

When actual hours come back from the ERP system too, that automatically produces the planned-vs-actual comparisonwithout duplicate entry.

ERP integration in Linetrack: connected scheduling and capacity planning

Effect on planning

One project structure instead of two

New employees, cost centres, and order and project numbers are created in the ERP system. With a live connection they no longer have to be copied into the project system by hand.

That removes exactly the missed changes that otherwise create a second, diverging version.

Which data does Linetrack exchange with ERP systems?

Linetrack syncs orders, project and order numbers, cost centres and master data with ERP systems. The exact scope is agreed individually per project, and the connection runs as a live sync.

Is the ERP connection a standard interface, or is it custom-built?

Both are true. The connection itself is coded and in live use, but which fields transfer in which direction is agreed per ERP system to match your configuration.

How many Linetrack customers have an ERP connection?

Of the customers who had a live connection running within their first six months after go-live, 39% also have an ERP connection - usually for orders, project numbers and master data.
