Integration Services: Connecting What Matters

Kathy Barthelt 0 363 Article rating: 5.0

Disconnected systems don’t just create inefficiencies, they limit visibility, increase risk, and slow growth.

Across Infor LN/Baan and LX/BPCS environments, we help manufacturers connect their ERP with key business platforms so data flows accurately and in real time.

Quick Insight

Integration challenges are rarely about tools, they’re about how systems are connected and how data flows between them. When integration is built around your ERP, it creates a reliable foundation for efficiency, visibility, and scalability.

Real-World Example

A leading U.S. based pharmaceutical manufacturer needed to connect their Infor ERP with external platforms to eliminate manual processes and support growing volume.

Crossroads RMC implemented an ION-based integration that automated data exchange and created a secure, bi-directional flow of information.

The result:

  • Eliminated high-volume manual entry
  • Reduced errors and improved accuracy
  • Increased visibility into key processes
  • Enabled scalable growth without adding resources

Kathy Barthelt 0 1227 Article rating: 5.0

Why this matters

Many integration challenges come from systems that don’t communicate effectively. Data is often duplicated, delayed, or manually transferred between applications, creating inefficiencies and limiting visibility.

What this solves

Manage the Complexity of Tax Compliance

Insights from our partner Avalara

Crossroads RMC 0 1595 Article rating: 5.0

Sales tax compliance becomes more complex as businesses grow. Expanding into new markets, adding locations, selling online, or integrating systems after an acquisition can quickly introduce new tax obligations.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

Why Avalara & Crossroads RMC

Avalara automates tax registration, calculation, filing, and document management, helping businesses maintain compliance as they grow.

Crossroads RMC integrates Avalara directly with Infor ERP environments, enabling automated tax calculations and reporting within existing ERP workflows.

Avalara supports more than 41,000 businesses and government organizations in over 75 countries, helping organizations manage complex tax requirements while focusing on growth.
