Real-Time Event-driven sync
Bidirectional Both systems stay current
Idempotent No duplicate records

ERP & CRM Automation Capabilities

End-to-end automation across the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles. Keep your ERP, CRM, and commerce systems in perfect sync.

Order-to-ERP Sync

New orders from Shopify, Lazada, Shopee, or custom storefronts automatically create sales orders in your ERP with inventory reservation.

Commerce to ERP
CRM to Billing

Deal closed in Salesforce or HubSpot → auto-create invoice in NetSuite, Odoo, or ERPNext → send to customer → sync payment status back to CRM.

Lead to Cash
Inventory Sync

Keep stock levels synchronized across ERP, marketplace channels, and warehouse systems in real time. Prevent overselling and stockout surprises.

Multi-Channel Inventory
AP & Payment Automation

Supplier invoices processed and matched against POs. Payment terms tracked, approval workflows routed, and bank reconciliation automated.

Finance Automation
Customer Data Sync

Customer records, contact updates, and account status synchronized bidirectionally between CRM and ERP. Single source of truth across both systems.

Master Data Alignment
Reporting Pipelines

Pull data from ERP and CRM on schedule, consolidate into dashboards, and distribute management reports automatically to stakeholders.

Real ERP Automation Flows

Automation patterns we've deployed for operations, sales, and finance teams across Southeast Asia.

Multi-Channel Order Management Orders from Shopify, Lazada, Shopee aggregated into NetSuite. Inventory allocated, fulfillment routed, status synced back to each channel.
Sales-to-Finance Handoff HubSpot deal marked Won → ERPNext sales order created → invoice generated and sent → payment collected → deal status updated in HubSpot.
Supplier Invoice Matching Supplier invoices matched against Odoo purchase orders automatically. Discrepancies flagged for review, approved invoices posted with one click.
Inventory Reorder Automation NetSuite inventory drops below reorder point → n8n creates draft PO → routes for approval → auto-sends to supplier on approval.
Daily Management Briefing Pull AR aging, open orders, and inventory KPIs from ERP → aggregate → deliver formatted report to management via LINE or WhatsApp by 8am.
Customer Onboarding Automation New CRM lead converted → sync to ERP as customer → set up credit limit → create welcome sequence → notify assigned account manager.
Why n8n for ERP Automation
One Platform for All Your ERP Workflows

Instead of point-to-point integrations between every system pair, n8n becomes the central automation layer across your ERP, CRM, and commerce stack. You get one place to monitor, one place to debug, and one team to maintain — significantly cheaper than managing a dozen bespoke integrations.

Central hub for all ERP data flows
Easier to debug than fragmented point-to-point scripts
Visual workflow editor your team can maintain
Self-hosted — ERP data never leaves your network

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ERP and CRM automation with n8n.

How does n8n connect to NetSuite or Odoo?
n8n connects to NetSuite via the SuiteTalk REST API using OAuth2. For Odoo, we use the JSON-RPC API with API key authentication. ERPNext connections use the Frappe REST API. For all three, n8n handles authentication, token refresh, and rate limiting automatically through configured credential nodes. We document the API permissions required and help set up service accounts with minimal necessary access for security.
How do you prevent duplicate records when syncing between systems?
We use idempotent design patterns throughout. This means every sync operation checks for the existence of a record before creating it — using a unique external ID as the anchor. For example, a Shopify order ID is stored in NetSuite as an external reference, so if the workflow runs twice due to a retry, the second run finds the existing record instead of creating a duplicate. We also use conditional logic to detect updates vs. creates and handle conflict resolution when both systems have been modified.
What happens to ERP sync during an ERP downtime or maintenance window?
n8n handles ERP unavailability gracefully. Failed workflow executions are queued for retry. Webhook-triggered workflows that can't process immediately are held in queue until the ERP is available. For scheduled syncs, we implement catch-up logic so that when the ERP comes back online, we sync the delta of records that built up during downtime. We test these scenarios explicitly before going live and include ERP maintenance windows in the operational runbook.
Can you automate workflows that span more than two systems?
Yes, that's one of n8n's strengths. We regularly build workflows that span 3-5+ systems: for example, a customer order trigger in Shopify that creates a sales order in NetSuite, sends fulfillment instructions to the warehouse system, creates a shipping label via DHL's API, updates Shopify with tracking, and notifies the customer via LINE. Multi-system orchestration is n8n's natural habitat — the visual workflow design makes it easy to see and maintain complex cross-system logic.
How long does an ERP automation project take?
Simple one-directional sync workflows (e.g., new Shopify orders to Odoo) typically take 2-3 weeks from kick-off to production. Bidirectional sync with conflict handling takes 4-6 weeks. Complex multi-system order management workflows with exception handling and monitoring take 6-10 weeks. Timeline depends on data complexity, the number of systems involved, and how much of the business process needs to be reflected in the automation logic. We provide a detailed estimate after a discovery session.
