Many companies still use file-based integrations to exchange critical business data between ERP systems and other applications. AR invoices to GL entries, project time sheets to sales orders, and inventory to purchase orders or customer records—these files have got to be moved securely, accurately, and on time.
Modern applications tend to expose APIs, but many ERPs, third-party applications, banks, payroll systems, and external partners still use FTP, SFTP or cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox as their preferred method of data exchange.
GUMU is a bridge between your ERP and these storage platforms, providing a secure connection and automating the entire file transfer process. Instead of manually downloading files, validating the data and then importing them into your ERP, GUMU continuously monitors the folders you specify, identifies the new files, validates the contents, processes the data, and automatically transfers it to the correct destination.
For example, GUMU can do the following:
- Import AR invoices, GL journals, project time sheets, vendor bills, and customer records into your ERP from an SFTP server or cloud storage.
- Export sales orders, inventory updates, purchase orders, shipping information and financial reports from your ERP to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or an SFTP server for customers, vendors or other business applications.
- Process CSV, XML, JSON, and Excel files on a scheduled basis. As soon as new files become available.
- Archive processed files, maintain detailed processing logs, and notify users if any records fail validation.
By eliminating file handling, GUMU reduces processing time, minimizes errors, and ensures that data is always available where it is needed. Businesses no longer need to worry about missed files, duplicate imports, or manually tracking completed transfers.
