So is attention. This is actually mentioned as “the new currency” with technology and social media. So, if both are so valuable -and expensive- why are we dedicating so much time and attention to outdated processes that only lead to wasted hours -or days, or even weeks- and errors coming from manual data entry and disjointed systems across the organization? If this is happening too often, you need an ERP and CRM integration! Why keep postponing that well-deserved coffee break to spend countless hours, maybe even outside of the normal work schedule, manually adding data to the ERP or the CRM, or worse, solving problems caused by double entries and errors? That’s no way to live or work. And that’s why Commercient SYNC, now with AI-powered features and functionalities, is here to make your life easier. By automating ERP and CRM data integration, here are some of the benefits you can enjoy when SYNC streamlines operations and enhances productivity: ### **Eliminates Manual Data Entry (Less Work, Fewer Errors)** Time feels like an eternity when doing manual data entry. Hours go on and on, and at some point people start feeling so bored and stuck that it’s easy for data to fall through the cracks. And the longer the task, the more difficult it is to detect any errors, until it’s too late: an inaccurate quote sent to a prospect, an invoice with the wrong amount, sales orders created incorrectly… the list goes on. Then, the problem is not allocating time for repetitive tasks, it’s taking the time to solve issues that could have been prevented if not having to rely on manual data entry. This is especially true when using an ERP and a CRM, when ERP users update customer information but those changes are not reflected in the CRM. With Commercient SYNC, this is not a problem anymore. Time and time again, customers mention in their success stories how much time they save and how much value they receive with an integration that connects the CRM and the ERP.

For example, if there was a price increase but it was only updated in the ERP, a salesperson sending a quote to a potential client from the CRM will use the old pricing, will get the “yes” and then, when it’s time to sign the contract, an unpleasant surprise is there: the price is different. The prospect gets upset, the salesperson tries to deal with the situation in the best way possible, but most likely, that deal is gone. All because of information that wasn’t available for the sales team in the CRM. Sadly, situations like this are common when systems are disjointed and not “talking” with each other. Commercient SYNC helps with that communication barrier by updating information automatically in the CRM when a new change is made in the ERP. Now, with Commercient SYNC, the price is updated in the ERP, and when the salesperson sends a quote, the price is correct in the CRM. He sends the quote, answers any question the prospect has, and the deal is closed. See the difference? SYNC ensures that the latest pricing, inventory levels, invoices, customer interactions, and more, are available when the team needs it. Here’s what one of our customers says: *“Commercient SYNC provides our sales people with a view of our orders and product prices, and has reduced resource hours immensely.”* [Read the success story here.](http://www.staging38.commercient.com/nutriquest-success-story/) ### **Works Seamlessly with Your Existing Systems** Your business decided to invest in integrating systems. Good for you! Now, what? A common -and expensive- mistake is investing in solutions that, regardless of the promises, end up taking more time and resources than initially anticipated, killing user adoption while breaking the bank. ETL toolsets and highly customized solutions are more complex to develop and implement, take more time to start running, and usually require a specialized team at all times to manage the system and fix any issues. On the other hand, Commercient is a managed package solution that connects your CRM with your ERP faster and easier than other solutions in the market. For context, you can [read this blog post about ETL vs. managed packaged solutions](http://www.staging38.commercient.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-etl-toolsets-vs-managed-data-integration-solutions/). [The Dirty ETL Industry Secret - Richard Jenkins of Commercient](https://www.youtube.com/embed/iXQBpFF26z8?feature=oembed) As some customers’ say, Commercient SYNC is an “off-the-shelf” solution that adjusts to your requirements, connecting only the data you need, without paying for features your team doesn’t need. And if issues arise? The expert support team is ready to handle it for you! ### **Improves Efficiency with Expert Support and a “Set It and Forget It” Approach** Traditional integration solutions require constant maintenance and troubleshooting. The fine print below all the flashy promises about how much the business and operations are going to change once the integration is up and running. But in the end, this moment seems farther and farther away. Management starts to get desperate when the invoices for the development and implementation process accumulate. Employees are wondering when this is finally going to work. And everyone starts questioning why the company got in this boat in the first place. Highly customized solutions require constant attention and problem solving performed by experts. However, Commercient SYNC is a mix between that expert support and simplicity in the implementation. SYNC runs in the background, integrating data from one system to the other as often as the client wants, with automatic updates and minimal upkeep from your part. Yes, no need to keep watching the SYNC and the system as the pot that never boils, hoping, this time, that it *doesn’t *boil. If something comes up, notification comes in, and our team handles and solves the issue with minimal involvement from your team. A busy operations manager no longer has to manually push data syncs or troubleshoot integration issues. Because the world is not perfect, things can happen, but you can rest assured that Commercient has your back, at all times. Here’s something one of our clients shared: *“One thing I want to emphasize about Commercient is that you are not only great when things are wonderful, your level of accountability and integrity and support when things are not as great is equally good.”* [And here’s the clip](https://youtu.be/pob_dKSjS58) with the whole context and how Commercient solved it.

To get the mental and physical energy to tackle the challenges of the rest of your day, week or even month. Used wisely, that time is a form of investment in you and your business’ strategic growth. However, time spent on manually entering data in the systems, and fixing issues generated by data discrepancies, is an additional cost for your company. Can your business afford to keep losing time like this? No business can, and no business should, either. By handling data flow automatically, helping ERP and CRM systems communicate with each other, SYNC lets teams focus on what really matters. And this doesn’t only apply to the team in the trenches. The CEO or Management can spend more time on business strategy instead of chasing down or deciphering reports made with missing and incorrect data. Here’s what a client shared about SYNC: *“We enjoy our Salesforce and Sage 100 SYNC integration. It has saved time for our customer service and sales teams while giving our executive management the ability to see comprehensive reports for nearly all functions of the business inside one system.”* [Read the customer success story here.](http://www.staging38.commercient.com/fiber-optic-center-success-story/) ### **Take That Coffee Break—We’ve Got the Data Covered** In this blog, we’ve given you at least five reasons and *The Solution* to take that well-deserved coffee break: Commercient SYNC!
