The Far-Reaching Impact of Disconnected Data

Kathy Barthelt 0 1895 Article rating: 5.0

Disconnected data doesn’t just slow you down—it creates bottlenecks across your entire business. When your ERP isn’t connected to the systems you rely on, every department feels it.

How Disconnected Data Hurts Your Organization

  • Operations: Spreadsheets and manual order entry waste valuable time.

  • Finance: Budgets, POs, and invoices stuck in silos cause delays and errors.

  • Technology: Teams burn hours exporting data to stay “up to date.”

  • Executives: No single source of truth makes it hard to see the big picture.

A recent study found that 61% of companies face project delays from slow data integration, while employees waste the equivalent of 19 workdays per year moving data between systems. That’s lost productivity you can’t afford.

Why ERP Integration Matters
Your ERP is the heart of your operations. Connecting it to the rest of your business tools unlocks:

  • Real-time data access → no more outdated spreadsheets.

  • Improved communication → one source of truth for every team.

  • Higher productivity → eliminate duplicate entry and manual reporting.

  • Smarter supply chains → better visibility, fewer delays.

  • Sales enablement → reps get live pricing, inventory, and customer data.

5 WARNING SIGNS Your Disconnected Business Systems Are Costing You Money

Crossroads RMC 0 1725 Article rating: 5.0
  1. You Can’t Track Project Costs in Real-Time
    If you're waiting until after a project wraps up to find out whether it was profitable, that’s a major red flag. Without real-time cost tracking, you're making critical decisions in the dark.

  2. Quoting and Estimating Are Slow, Manual, or Inconsistent
    Does it take hours—or even days—to build a custom quote because you're pulling information from multiple systems? That lost time translates directly into lost sales opportunities.

  3. You Rely on Spreadsheets for Critical Operations
    Spreadsheets are useful—until they’re not. Issues like version control problems, accidental overwrites, and human error can lead to costly mistakes.

  4. Scheduling and Inventory Management Are Disconnected from Financials
    If your production and finance teams aren’t working from the same data, it’s only a matter of time before you face delays, stockouts, or budget overruns.

  5. You Don’t Have a Real-Time View of Project Profitability
    Without live costing tied directly to jobs, small losses can accumulate unnoticed, until it's too late.

Disconnected data refers to information stored outside your core business systems, like your ERP. While this data has value, a lack of integration causes inefficiencies and misalignment across your organization, often more than you realize.
