Connecting different systems for a seamless and smooth process can be quite a challenge. But now there’s EntityFlow, an integration engine developed by our partner Toxic, designed specifically to connect Litium with other systems efficiently, regardless of the ERP system you want to integrate. We spoke with Tobias Dahlgren, Head of Development at Toxic, to learn more about this solution and how it can simplify and smartly connect Litium with your ERP system.
What is EntityFlow, really?
"EntityFlow is essentially an integration engine," Tobias explains. "Instead of building custom integrations each time, we’ve developed a stable foundation that we can easily adapt to the customer’s needs. This lets us focus more on what truly adds value for each client." In other words, EntityFlow is a flexible foundational solution that saves both time and money for businesses.
Why choose EntityFlow?
What makes EntityFlow unique is its flexibility and adaptability. Toxic has chosen to focus on integrating with ERP systems like Business Central, Pyramid, and Dynamics, as these are some of the most commonly used by Litium’s customers. This approach allows them to offer a solution tailored to Litium’s e-commerce platform, balancing cost-effectiveness and customizability perfectly.
What’s the benefit for you as a customer?
For Litium customers, EntityFlow eliminates the need to build integrations from scratch. "We’ve already done the heavy lifting by creating a foundation," says Tobias, "so our customers can focus on their unique needs and get a solution that’s both sustainable and cost-effective." EntityFlow speeds up and makes the integration more cost-efficient, while allowing for custom solutions to be added.
Does EntityFlow work with all ERP systems?
Yes, as long as your ERP system can share data, EntityFlow can integrate with it. "We have several systems ready to run ‘out of the box,’" Tobias explains, "and Litium's flexible foundation allows us to add more systems as needed." So, no matter what systems you use, you can be confident that the integration can grow with your business.
Can multiple systems be connected to Litium via EntityFlow?
Absolutely! EntityFlow is built to support integration with multiple systems at once. So, if you have different ERP systems that need to communicate with Litium, EntityFlow handles it smoothly.
Future-proofing - what happens with system updates?
A major advantage of EntityFlow is its ability to adapt to future updates in your ERP systems. "Since we have a common foundational structure in EntityFlow, it’s much easier to keep the integration up to date," Tobias explains. This means you avoid major adjustments every time a system updates, ensuring that your integration remains effective over time.
How to get started?
EntityFlow uses ready-made connections to common ERP systems, making implementation quick and easy. "We can get started much faster than with a standard system integration," Tobias says. The implementation time depends on how many systems you want to integrate, but it’s often a significantly faster process than building from scratch.
