Automated order entry from sales system to ERP/inventory tools

Purpose

1.1. Automatically transfer new sales orders for aluminum windows from sales platforms into ERP and inventory management systems, reducing manual entry and synchronizing order, stock, and fulfillment data.
1.2. Eliminate data entry errors, speed up processing, and provide real-time visibility across departments—sales, warehousing, and finance.
1.3. Ensure all order attributes (item codes, quantities, delivery schedules, customer details) seamlessly flow from CRM or order portals into backend inventory systems.
1.4. Trigger subsequent fulfillment, procurement, and invoicing processes based on real-time information.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Creation of a new sales order in the sales platform (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot).
2.2. Update/modification on pending orders in the sales tool.
2.3. Status change on the order (e.g., ‘Confirmed’, ‘Ready for Production’).
2.4. Scheduled batch sync (e.g., every 30 mins) for aggregation and process redundancy management.
